I am still losing hair at 9 months out but nothing "alarming". I had extremely thick hair so now it sort of feels like when I'd go and get it thinned out a lot. The thing that worries me is that I just had to have a hysterectomy and my GYN said that hair loss can be a major side effect. So, I am hoping it doesn't increase a significant amount. 2 surgeries in 9 months may just make my hair loss worse. My Dr. said the stress of being put under anesthesia coupled with the hormonal changes is a major factor in hair loss. Now I can times that by two

Our center of gravity changes when we lose weight and we walk differently etc. Or bodies ache as it adjusts

The vomiting does not sound normal to me. Dumping usually involves diarrhea. My surgery was feb 18 and I've lost exactly 70 pounds. 50 since day of surgery

16 weeks out. Down 67 pounds

Since it comes and goes it's easy to think "well, was that really as bad as I thought it was?" And then we let it go. Until the next time. And then it gradually gets worse until you're up all night curled into a ball popping Vicodin like Pez candies. Don't let it get outta hand because it can really cause a significant amount of pain.

It is your gallbladder and it is going to only get worse. You really need to have it looked at soon.

I was just reading and responding to a post like this. I went through a loooong stall, then lost several pounds when it broke. Then had several weeks with a loss of only a pound a week. This last week I think I lost 4 pounds. I just try to get rid of hidden carbs and sugars. Another thing is I have to walk. If I don't walk or exercise I don't lose. Also I upped my fluids so that might've also helped. It's very discouraging, but it broke into a bigger loss once I cut out carbs and upped my exercise and fluids.

Yup. I'll do that. And then when it breaks you'll start losing several pounds a week. Then a pound here n there. Then several pounds... Lol

I got so constipated with just ONE iron supplement that I literally could not poop. With 3 stool softeners a night and milk of mag. I was getting all of my fluids too. I had to literally stop taking iron.

I drink a coffee in the morning and have one every day. At least one.

Wow! Amazing job!

Wow! Amazing job!

I might be shedding. I don't really know because I always shed. I am not noticing anything significant at 3 1/2 months out.

I am really proud of all of you guys. You look absolutely AMAZING and y'all's transformations are incredible!!! I love seeing the pics of you all and it inspires me so much!

Definitely keeping him in my thoughts. Hang in there. Wishing I could give you a big hug.

I've done that. And then last week I lost 4 pounds. Weird

I struggle. Making the right choices is hard, but I do it for the most part. Every now and then I will slip up, but then I get frustrated that my weight is stuck so I get right back on track. Hang in there. You got this

Jennie-O seasoned turkey burger patties on a low carb tortilla with cheese and a little mayo and mustard, chicken patties, morning star black bean patties dipped in ranch. I sautée a little chicken and add shredded cabbage (I buy the bagged cole slaw cabbage that's already shredded) and soy sauce, pop a lid on it and once it's done it tastes like the inside of an egg roll. Shrimp sautéed with garlic or other spices. Flatizza from subway. Make a small pizza out of a low carb tortilla. Ribs, easy on the sauce. Mainly meats

I stall all the time, but my clothes keep getting looser so I put the scale away for a bit.

3 months out and I drink fluids normally. Several swallows at a time

Way to go!!!!!!!!!

On average my carbs are around 50. Sometimes way less. And it's very rare I don't meet my protein goals. If my carbs are over that I will not lose. I'll bump by protein and see what happens.

still sloooow going. I take protonix twice daily and will continue forever. Lol. I suffered from GERD pre-surgery. I was put on iron but can't take it. I was so constipated because of it that I didn't poop for over a week. That's taking 3 stool softeners a day and milk of mag. I need to be more active, but I have no energy. None. I'm taking bariatric vitamins, vitamin d and b12 injections and I'm so tired I can barely lift my head once I get home from work. I feel that if I were more active I'd lose more steadily but all I wanna do is rest.
