  1. I am terrified About this . i have very thin hair to begin with and I've seen people losing handfuls of hair . I'd be bald in no time ? I am 6 weeks post op and my hair has just been falling out like the normal amount but people say there is no way to avoid this
  2. I'm three weeks post op and I've lost about 20 pounds. I try not to weigh myself daily so I don't get discourage but I noticed my weight seemed to stay and then I gained a pound. I haven't changed my diet or cheated. Is this normal ? Am I doing something wrong ?

  7. Hey y'all , I'm 6 days post op and I'm a little bored with broth, soup, and what not . I see halo ice cream has protein in it and it's relatively not too bad . Has anyone else spoken with their doctor about being able to eat it ? Thanks !

  9. I've been reading about people struggling with hair loss after the surgery . Let's me real , I can't afford to lose more hair . My hair is already thin. Anyone else experience this or know how to control it ??

  11. Thank you both for your input ! We just got married , but like I said , he's seen me all sizes and still thinks I'm beautiful . He knows this is for me however , I believe he deserves the best version of myself ! Being overweight has caused a lot of depression and anxiety for me so I want to get back on track!

  13. I get my sleeve done on July 13th so it's riggghht around the corner. I'm scared , nervous, but mostly excited to start this new chapter . My husband is a thin guy . He's roughly 160 and he thinks he's "heavy" then. Which who am I to disagree with him on how he feels so I support and try and help. However I keep reading that the divorce rate is higher after you get this surgery . My husband and I have been together for almost 7 years . He's seen me at 160, 220, and my highest 295. Soo he knows what I look like thinner and what I look like heavier . He's not the jealous type so I don't think he'd be concerned about the confidence I'll gain back after the surgery . He's supportive of me and whatever I need to do to feel like myself again . Does anyone have advice on this subject ? Ways to keep you and your significant other on track after the surgery? Ways to address your emotions your going through after the surgery ? Thank you [emoji173]️
