congrats on the weight loss. I went to a derm to get labs done. I have hereditary alopecia so I'm scared to lose anymore. Read that some people take collagen pills. Might have to look into that. Good luck with yours and keep up the good work!I am 9 months post op and down 133lbs!! I started to lose my hair at 3months post op and although I'm not bald (yet) I have lost plenty of it.It also became dry and brittle with lots of breakage, so I cut it! I honestly am very happy about it, it looks healthier and fuller and suits my leaner face better than the bun i usually would wear. What I have not been able to deal with is developing alopecia of the eyebrow!!! My doctor is sure it's not related but has yet to order blood work for me since my surgery....YES, I SAID SINCE MY SURGERY 9 MONTHS AGO!!!!! I woke up one day to a missing eyebrow and it hasn't come back in. It's very disturbing and I'm currently changing PCP to try to get lab work done.SMH healthcare.....

the sleep study wasn't bad. By the time they hooked all the wires to me, I was ready for bed.Do they give you anything to help you sleep? How long do you sleep for? Do you need to stay awake the night before? Thanks for answering my questions!

I'm so worried about this cause I'm already thinning out due to alopecia. If anyone knows how to prevent this, please let me know. I don't want to be bald.

June 22 here. Yesterday I couldn't wait to get this started and now that it's set I'm starting to get nervous. I need to stop over thinking this and remind myself of why I'm doing this. I have a feeling that this is going to be a tough journey, but I'm glad I found this app to help me get through it.

When do we stop focusing on food?

For me to lose weight pre-op and not have to worry about food, my doc put me on 3 Protein Shakes a day and a lean Protein dinner. My cal intake is 900-1200 a day. 600 seems extreme, but if that is what they said then you should stick to it. Again, not attacking. Just seems odd, but everyone is different and I would be consumed by what I ate at that level. I think journaling and planning is the best way to go for anything. Good luck.
