These are normal fears. Any type of surgery is scary. You are reacting very normal. I have the same fears, if we didn't, then I would worry

I am so glad I found this blog. I think every single women's worst fear is her hair falling out. Yes, we first want to be healthy that is why we are all doing this, right? I see my nutrionist tomorrow and will take notes. I see biotin and flaxseed from the comments above helps. I am over 300 pounds so I best get all the protein in as possible. Someone commented above about 150 grams of protein (is that even possible to do in a day)? I haven't a date yet for surgery, I am in the very early process and have 5 more monitored months to go.

I really am happy to say I am glad Christmas is over. I cooked and baked for weeks. I over ate, ate, and ate. Like it was the last super. I have not had surgery yet. I have my first weigh in tomorrow (blah) and really not looking forward to it. 3 days after christmas and getting weighed is not what I am looking for. I see the nutrionist tomorrow, find out my results for my blood work. I have 5 more months, its going to be a long haul and I seriously need to get myself on track here. Best of luck to you both on getting back on track.

I am very new here. I have done a lot of reading up on many comments about feeling depressed, crying, etc. after the surgery. Is this a common reaction coming off from anesthesia? I am not sure if the people posting have never been under before and it is this their first time. I have had anesthesia about 3 times in my life already, the most recent was 3 years ago. It was pretty huge and I was put under for well over 4 hours. That last round was insane, I don't remember anything but my husband said I looked frantic and couldn't speak for a couple of minutes. It was the first time I had no recolation of my whereabouts or what I was doing.
