    February bypass buddies?

    Okay its been a long 3 months Had my Surgery feb 20th, and for a while there I was stuck at 210lbs Didn't matter what I did. I forced the protein in drank more water and went for longer walks and IM FINALLY UNDER 200lbs!!! I haven't been under 200lbs in 10 years. But here is why I'm really here today- is anyone else having the dreaded hair loss? my hair is falling out and breaking worse then a golden retriever in sheading season. I've been taking Biotin even prior to surgery. but my hair has become soo thin. Ticks and trips that work? things you've read online? or am I rocking a ponytail for the rest of my days to come?

    You're totally the unofficial Feb cheerleader! thanks for keeping us motivated! Ive been missing these weigh ins because I'm complacently discouraged with myself. think its 3 weeks now and im dancing between 213-210 SD: Feb 20th, 2018 SW: 249lbs (or somthing close to that...so many numbers) CW: 210...ish GW 140-150 (although right now i just want to be under 200) Back at work and doing well, i think work has me more on tract back on a kinda schedule, pushing protein this week really hoping to hit those goals and see if i can push though this stall.

    Thank you for that, youre right 42lb is an achomplishment but im discuraged becuase most of it was on the liqued diet preop. Im marching forward but god this is mentally exhausting

    Okay guys, amost 1 month post op. And for about a week ive been stuck at 215lbs. 1 week ago i started pureed diet tolerating foods and now im not loosing anything which is really discouaging me ( maybe discourages the wrong word but upsetting would be a good word) starting yo feel gulity putting anything in my mouth like i shoulf remain on liqueds. Carbs are low, sugar free averaging about 500-600calories a day. Portine could be better but im averaging 30-40g a day. I cant have done all this to only loose 42lbs.

    It was pretty bad for me that was the worst part although in all fairness as well I have a bad reaction to anesthetic which I learned the surgery and last night I learned that I'm allergic to hydromorphone after my body broke out in hives if I didn't have this stupid complications related to medication the surgery would have been a breeze

    All the best to you! Im 4 days post op. Spent 3 nights in-hospital related to a bad reaction to anesthetic cause me to really really feel nauseous and vomit but other than that the pain is been tolerable I'm getting my fluids in although I have to stay on top of it prayers with you and all the best

    Mine is coming up on Tuesday Feb 20th, definitely starting to freak out. This liquid diet has been a bit rough but manageable as in my head i know its only temporary i fear the pain and discomfort. Keep us posted on how youre feeling!
