I do take B12 monthly and 2 Centrum silvers morning and night.I also take Biotin to assist my regrowth which is coming back crazy fast.

What we are experiencing is called "telogen effluvium". If you google that you will get a better understanding of process.

I don't think so..talking to people and my own research has convinced me that there is nothing that can prevent it. And once it starts there doesn't seem to be anything to stop it. But on the other hand nothing seems to make it worse. And I asked my weight loss counselor if she'd ever seen anyone go bald as a result...her answer was a resounding "no"!

No..I lost a massive amount of hair but only I knew it..everybody else said they couldn't even tell

Mine lasted exactly 3 months which is pretty much average I believe

Okay..so like clockwork my hair started falling out at the 3 month mark exactly and continued for 3 months exactly. Clockwork.

Now it's growing back and it's so "weird"..kinda curly (previously bone straight) and so fine! I look like I'm sprouting chicken feathers! Lol!

SO what about you? Is you hair growing back different than what fell out?

I wore a medium dress (size 10) and medium hose to dinner last night...yay!

No more queen for me!!! Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

I think you do slow down as your body adjusts...I'm down around 60 in 6 months but as time goes on it gets slower and slower...I haven't changed what I'm doing...I just think it happens...

I am six months out and I can't hardly stomach meat and eggs....did anyone else "convert" after wls?

Yes sirree...I stocked up on Miralax prior to surgery and never used it..I have hardly ever been constipated but the other? Wow! In fact I carry imodium everywhere I go...

Has anyone found a good sugar free hot cocoa recipe? I need to borrow it to get through the holidays

I agree I've been taking my supplements and Protein and megadosing Biotin and the results are the same. We have provided a shock to our system and this is what happens. Hair loss after traumatizing the body is par for the course....I don't think it has anything to do with calories or vitamins...

Does anyone have any promo codes for Bariatric Choice?

I don't think their is anything we can do but ride it out as part of the journey...I'm eating Biotin like nobody's business but whether that does any good is debatable...

I was whining here a while back about a stall....I had been 180lbs for a month. .some lovely poster told me to "embrace the stall" as it was my body's way to do a big drop..ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Got on the scale at 180 and again the following week....166! Yay!

EMBRACE THE STALL!

thank you poster whoever you are!

Just like clockwork my hair started falling out at 3 months....we've all talked about when it would start, but when will it stop?

I lost 35 lbs in the first 2 months post op but now I have stopped dead. Been sitting on 180 for 1 month. Surgery weight was 215. Has anyone else stalled like this?

Hi thickfit504

I have lost between 35-40lbs since surgery. I stay off the scale since I thought what would be a steady decline is more bouncing around and I find that frustrating. I have had some burgers and such. I don't forbid anything but straight sugary junk (cake Cookies candy). I just let my new found natural Portion Control take over. I don't obsess over anything I eat. I got in this place being obsessed with food so ain't goin there again. I will tell you we will lose slower because we started smaller. I see that on all the boards and got confirmation from my doctor. It's good your finding people with your body type for results. Sounds like your doing great.

I was sleeved 7/29 so maybe a typo...

I'm 10 weeks out..I'm sick of Water, sick of worrying about $hit like Protein grams, sick of eating like a freak, sick of feeling guilty if I miss a day at the gym. Sick of stepping on the scale to no loss! I'm am sick of all of it! Thank you for reading

Now it seems solids are making me a bit nauseous and I hiccup for 30 minutes after eating... i can eat soft foods ( ie yogurt, sf pudding etc) but solids are really bugging me

And I miss cereal!

No she's not...she explained herself...totally tongue-in-cheek

Actually she's complimenting her doctor! He obviously did a very good job or she wouldn't have posted...

" had to take another sleep study in one month

then the CPAP was also removed"

Know when I got off of my cpap? The second I got home from the hospital. Put it in the closet. Never want to see it

again!
