I remember getting home from the hospital and wondering if 80% of my stomach was actually removed. I had no problem with the liquids as long as they were warm. I really felt no restriction until I moved on to solid food. I am very restricted with solids and liquids now. I had no problem drinking water early post-op. Now I get very full from water, so I have to make sure I'm sipping during the day and not just when I feel thirsty.

I started to have hair loss around 4 months post-op. Luckily I don't have bald patched but I am obviously thinning around my roots. My doctor told me to increase my protein intake, but unfortunately, it is something that comes with weight loss surgery. She also told me that the loss should stop when my weight loss begins to plateau.
