RJ- Thankyou!

This has been a tough go for me and overall I really just want to be healthy. I have been looking at food like its the enemy and I know I need to change that. Just easier said then done. But I'm gonna keep at it

Did it just start falling out recently?? I'm just curious. I'm about 4 months out from my surgery and havn't had any significant Hair loss yet. Hopefully it dosn't happen. And I hope you stop losing yours VERY SOON!

Hello.... I'm Amanda. I had my surgery December 4th, 2013. So it has been about 4 months now and I have lost a little over 80 lbs. For the most part I feel good just tired sometimes. I joined this site to hopefully make friends and share experiences going thru this whole process.

I'm not gonna lie, the last 4 months havn't been easy. I always worry about my weight loss, if I have lost enough, am I on track? . I get BAD dizzy spells that I have talked to my doctor about. He told me I needed to take in more calories. Now, if six months ago I was told I needed to eat more, NO PROBLEM! But now, Its hard to wrap my head around. I am never hungry and eating seems more like a chore, I do not enjoy it. Is this a normal feeling??? I have managed to raise my caloric intake to about 500-600 calories a day. The doctor and dietician want more. Honestly, I don't WANT too. I got to the point where I needed surgery to lose the weight by eating to many calories. I worry if I eat to much I'm going to stretch my sleeve out and start gaining weight again.
