awwwwwwww thank you so much!!!! this makes me feel good knowing other people care enough to read my story! i appreciate ot so much! <3

i started at 273 & i will be 8months post op on the 20th. last week, i weighed in at 173. im hoping to weigh 169 when i step on the scale tomorrow. my goal is 135. at first, my goal was 175 - 150. but now, its 135! i wear a medium/large in shirts & i wear an 8-10 in jeans.

i threw up bile 2x at wk 4&5 & i was sent for a swallow test which showed a leak.

i know what you mean. i guess this is where we have to start making healthier choices instead of bad habits and this is where we begin to maintain what we've lost & struggle to lose more!

when i got sleeved, i took in no Protein because i couldnt tolerate shakes. then at week 5, i was diagnosed with a leak & didnt eat for 5-6 wks after that. i upped my protein from about 20g to 90-110g of protein so its definitely not that. :/

im almost 8 months post op & i am able to consume 5-6oz of food in one sitting. i usually eat chicken breast with corn. i know corn isnt too heavy so it may have to do with why im consuming that much. is that a good sized portion? how much do you consume in one sitting?

once i snack on something small or drink, im fine. i just get appetites quite often. like every 3hrs, i start feeling hungry again. it kinda scares me because i now need to start watching how im satisfying this feeling where as before, i planned when to eat. before, id eat 2 meals & would be disgusted with food for the rest of the day. now im eating 4-6x a day whether its a protein bar, some fruits, or chicken & corn.

ohh ok! ty

no, its def hunger but just not severe. its not intense.

when u r sleeved, they cut out the hunger hormone so u dont feel hunger but the hormone may grow back, or so ive read

i had actually began working out last week. or the week before. i was down 97lbs when i began working out. my boyfriends a personal trainer/ body builder so hes training me. hopefully it keeps falling!

i may have to start weighing out my food. 6oz food seems like a lot. then again, i think its because i ate late in the day & just had a big appetite after not eating for over 12hrs.

i noticed my weight has slowed down some but ive been doing corn for a while. i may cut the portion size in 1/2 & add another vegetable instead. my goal was to lose 21lbs by my birthday. i havent checked my weight as of this week but last week, i was down 3lbs. this is my 2nd week with cutting out snacking (crackers, cheese crackers, Cookies, ice cream sandwiches... lol i know!) & been working out. hopefully im down another 3+ lbs. i do appear to be losing inches. last that i checked, i was 173lbs from 273lbs.

my hair has fallen iut excessively but i think it slowed down a little but ive lost so much that its still very thin. it needs to hurry & grow

i had a leak but that doesnt cause hairloss. weightloss causes it.

im 7 months post op. i had beautiful thick long hair. ive lost 6/8 of all my hair. i even lost length. its so depressing & im very jealous of others with thick long full hair. very depressing. i even did a video on it where i show asample of the chunks that came out with fingering my hair. youtube.com/jasleeve

honestly, the first 2-3wks suck. after you start eating solids, you will feel normal again.

thank u! ill buy that too!

when did your hair start falling out? how much did you lose? when did it start growing back? what products did you use to help? i had surgery 7months ago & ive lost 6/8 of my hair. i used to have beautiful full thick long hair. now its very thin & ive even lost length. my hair fell out in chunks!! i use biosil drops, Biotin pills, excessive hairloss shampoo & conditioner & a super hair gro grease. the grease seems to be working but not fast enough lol. i was watching dr oz & he mentioned something called black currant. ill be buying those too!!! im going to overdose myself on everything possible to jump start this hair process & stop it from falling out so much! ive also upped my protein! i also did a video on my sleeve journey vlog on youtube where i show you a chunk of hair that came out of my head! visit youtube.com/jasleeve

did that work for u?

i take a whole lot of Vitamins. i take 2 gummy vitamins 1 multi Vitamin & mineral pill 1 vitamin b1 1 b12 2 vitamin c's 1 Biotin 5 drops of biosil 1 Vitamin D per week

hmmm avocados in my hair & eat them? i can do that. i love them!

& i think myleak has a lot to do with it because thats when it started falling out so quickly.

honestly, i dont think the Biotin works but i rather try it than not try it! & im also taking biosil. i just pray it stops falling & begins growing! i dont mind strands here & there but def not chunks!
