Hairloss
My dr. Had said that for a year post op i would experience hair loss but he didnt prepare me for just how much hair i would be losing. Everyday its falling out by the handfulls. I had really thick hair and now its getting thinner and thinner and i am so worried about going bald. Is everyone experiencing this kind of thing and what are you doing to prevent it? I'm so sad about my hair

The Mental Side Of Food Issues
I'm exactly 3 months post op and down 16 kilos. I think you will find as u get further into your journey that even i u do crave certain foods u can only eat a minimal amount of it and so you dont get the satisfaction u think u would. For awhile i found myself falling into bad eating habbits but the whole point of havin this surgery is to change your lifestyle so you soon realise if you use up your stomach space on empty calories which have no nutritional value u will start to feel it. Your skin gets baf, constipation sets in amongst other things and when u eat well u'll feel the difference for sure and so mentally u will start making better choices. This is not a diet its a lifestyle so u can indulge once in awhile . Good luck

Exhaustion
Not getting enough water i think i have to try harder. As for nutrition i'm trying but its difficult. I actually don't enjoy eating anymore. I'm going to check if my b12 is low as from google research apparently it happens often with people who have had weightloss surgery.

Exhaustion
So i started training at the gym finally and i'm almost 3 months post op but i feel so fatigued right after i'm done. I have no energy to do a thing. Had anyone else experienced this? I literally have to sit for 10 mins to get a tiny amount of energy to shower and then after that my day just dragssss. I even fell asleep at my work desk the other day. Is this normal?

I Hate Eating
I think i'm going to buy myself some nice dinnerware and for a change make dinner more about me. As for protein shots, i've never tried them. We don't get them in kenya so i suppose i'm also limite with options like that. I appreciate all the feedback from everyone atleast we can lean on each other for support. Have a wonderful week.

I Hate Eating
I'm not sure of anyone else feels this way but i actually hate meal times now. I feel like i cant eat much and i believe i am under eating a lot. How do you all cope with meal times and whats on everyones plate? I find eating just such a tedious task and where as i was a huge food lover i just cant handle much any more. dinner today for me was one small fish finger home made and a small meatball.

Tummy Trouble
Hey fell4falls i had a bit of a tummy issue a few weeks out. Maybe you have food poisoning or a bug. I dont think it will be bad if you miss out on your vitamins for a day or 2. Its happened to me coz i forgot or didnt get a chance to replenish my stocks. Why don't you double check by calling your doc
