  1. Sometimes people just blurt out the cruelest words. I have reached my goal weight and now all I get is...you're way too thin, "grotesquely" skinny, balding, a twig....really? I guess it will always be something. I take a deep breath and just smile. I really don't let it affect me anymore. You do your thing sister! ❤️


  2. Everyone I've talked with says there's really nothing you can do. I had tons of curly hair and I've lost a TON! Clumps every day. I was sleeved on June 25th. Was 200. Now 140. It's hormones. I haven't had a period in two months. My gyno said it should stop very soon. Doctor said my body is in shock and it's adjusting. I feel great and thin, but I'm going bald!!!! ☺️


  3. I was sleeved on 6/25. I'm down to 177lbs. SW 235 it feels great.. I too am having major Hair loss. It is really hard for me to wash and brush my hair. It's a little scary. I had a lot of hair. I also cut a lot of length off of my hair to give it a fighting chance. I also noticed the other day that my legs are getting all wiggly. Like loose leg skin. I've picked up the Protein and the workouts. But that is somewhat disturbing. I guess wiggly skin is better than fat legs and bad health.

    We were sleeved on the same day and I've lost 60% of my hair. I've been losing clumps since October. Hopefully it stops soon.


  4. I'm 5 months out and have been losing a lot of hair for 2 months. My doc says it's hormones. My periods are irregular too. I take Biotin, maca (herb for hormones) and black currant (herb for hair loss). I figure I'll cover all my bases. I've heard nothing really helps and the Hair loss should slow down or stop after 2-3 months. My hair is wispy and just funky. It comes out in clumps. I'm not stressing, but hoping it stops falling out soon. Good luck.


  5. I am almost five months out and have lost 52lbs. I've noticed when I rub my body I feel lumps/balls/peas under my skin on my trunk and inner thighs. When I noticed a few on my ribs, I found a few posts on the internet and I think what I have are called lipomas...little fat balls that form when you lose weight rapidly. They don't hurt and you can't see them. I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed these??


  6. I was sleeved on June 25th and have lost 47lbs. I was 200 and now I'm 153. Everything has gone smoothly. Starting to lose hair. Which I've read is normal. I've stalled a few times and gained a pound or two a few times. I sometimes feel a tightness under my right rib. Take regular a Vitamin and a probiotic. Pooping is pretty good. Haven't had alcohol yet. Just Water. No carbonation. First meal is just a few bites than I can eat more as the day goes on. Actually have to start watching my snacking at night. I'm taking it day by day. Love Fairlife milk. 19 grams of Protein in a little bottle. Yummy! Best thing I've ever done!! ♥️
