5 lbs is awesome

I was worried about that also. I started Monat hair products when I had surgery (my BFF is a rep). I also work with my hairdresser and she doesn’t process my hair as much. Also try to wash my hair very 2-3 days and not blow dry or do a lot of brushing. While I have had a lot of hair loss, I also have a lot of regrowth. I am coming out of it 5.5 months out. While I have lost a lot of hair, it is not sparse.

58 pounds is awesome! I agree the stalls are frustrating. Mine last 7-10 days and then pass. It is your body adjusting to the new weight

Amazing!

Fish is hard for me also. It needs to be very moist in order not to get stuck. We need to remember to chew chew chew. I catch myself not chewing enough and getting the back up and pain. I have found that eating in front of the TV or playing a game on my phone helps slow me down and distract me a little.

Yes. I have lost 89 pounds. I am more social and outgoing. More attention in general. It is a weird feeling and looking in the mirror shocks me a or of the time (in a good way).

I am 5 months out. VSG on 4/18/18. 1) my tummy does make more noise now than before but not all the time 2). I have hunger rarely if not ever. I eat because I know I have to. I do get hunger pangs every once in a while but one drink of water takes it away.

NSV is a Non Scale Victori

Had an awesome NSV last week. Went on my first airplane since last year and did not have the issues I normally would have. Seatbelt did not have to be at its biggest, my body was not hanging over each side. The tray table did not touch my stomach. I was comfortable on the 2 5 hour legs of the trip. It was fabulous!

3.5 months out. 500-600 per day

I have the hot flashes/sweats a lot after I eat. I am 3.5 months out from VSG. Just thought it was a side effect of the surgery.

Thanks for he reply! Yes I take my vitamins daily. I think you are right about increasing calories and am trying.

Hi all. I was sleeved on 4/18/18 and have been doing ok. I have been meeting my 60 g of protein daily and water intake is about 95% of the time. Weight loss is going slow but I am continuing to lose lbs and inches. My issue is that for the last week my energy level has been so low. I am getting enough sleep but feel constantly tired. I am working out 3-4 times a week. My caloric intake is between 500-600 per day and I really struggle with that because I’m just not hungry. Has anyone else encountered this? I am a total of 60 lbs down so my energy should be up right?
