Sometimes (many times) even adequate Protein doesn't prevent it. Our bodies just get shocked from the rapid weight loss and Hair loss is a side effect.

I was about to ask how you passed your psych. evaluation Hehehe
Cute post!!!
When you come back from surgery have someone sprinkle u with holy Water to check

I am going to search for fall fight now!
What I would like to know is if the hair fallsmout again after plastics as people seem to lose hair after a lot of different major surgeries.

I had surg Aug 7. I have not lost any hair. I have tons!!!

It will stop and eventually I hope the hair is even better than before. It's like survival of the fittest. All the weak hair is what sheds .

I had surgery on 6/12. I am going bald for reals. Drives me batty. Been losing hair for about 1 1/2 months now. No end in site.

Thankyou all, i feel much better about my upcoming surgery,.i start pre-op diet tomorrow whoo-hoo!

I would call the Dr. and let him know nothing as been submitted. He might not realize the coordinator has not submitted the information or there was a mistake DONT let this wait. I had to make phone calls for my surgery and stay on top of the coordinator.

LOL at the thread title *sorry I have a dirty mind*
By day 3 post op I felt back to normal and now that I'm a week out I have zero pain and my incision doesn't hurt. I have 3 kiddos and have been able to do everything for them that I was doing before.

It must be in your head and old habits trying to sneak back in. shake them lose and banish them for good. You can do this!! You don't need chocolate and snacks!!!! You ride the wave sister!!

My first initial response after reading the topic head line was, "At night.."

One a serious note, it took me a good 3-4 weeks. The first couple weeks I was really tired and took naps. I never take naps.

Hoping one of the ladies would post a pic? Lol just playin

What about a fat free chocolate cream pie? Use the fat free Cool whip and don't eat the crust.

I can't believe you don't own one.. I am addicted to mine. Not the healthiest behavior, but it keeps me in check.

I am almost 2 year post-op. I was 440lbs now I am 270lbs but last January I was 236lbs. I live near San Jose Ca. I need to get back to being focused. I need support.

9/27. 202.2.
Today 10/4 197.8 ONDERLAND...YAY...

OMG!!! I'm not retarded! I really thought something was wrong with my a%$! I dropped a 116lbs, and my butt kills me! I have to get up frequently at work (Sit down job) and car rides are torture. Someone recently asked me if I had a hemaroid problemm because I kept squirming!!! LOL!!

I get it, it's terrifying!
Do it anyway. Do it anyway!
You will not regret doing it....you will regret NOT doing it!
Getting your stomach ripped out won't kill you, it will make you a badass!
It will give you back your life!

Sorry to hear this. I personally was more afraid of going the rest of my life without living than I was of a minuscule chance of not making it through surgery.

Not trying to be mean, but what about the horror stories of people who died from their obesity? Were those not scary enough to chicken you out of being morbidly obese for the rest of your life?
There are risks to everything we do. People die every day. A meteor could randomly fall out of the sky and hit your house while you're sleeping in your bed. Will that keep you from sleeping in your bed at night?
Don't give up!!! Make a list of what's important to you and why you wanted to have the surgery in the first place. Weigh the pros and cons. Take a serious look at where you will be in 5 years without having had the surgery and where you will be if you do have the surgery! IMO, the potential rewards far outweigh the risks.
Good luck with your decision!

Contest goal weight: 218

Same here, how do those skinny ass people do it anyhow
I fell off my bike TWICE and have really got it bad now. Time and pain relievers is what it's going to take. Padded bike shorts help on the bike, perhaps they'd help in your situation?

Yes, Yes, my spin session/bike ride at the gym is killing my tail bone lately. I also rubbed it raw while doing incline sit ups, ouchhhhh.
