Totally normal and it gets better. You're in pain, you can't eat, and it sucks, but I think the depression is usually from rapid hormonal changes.

Oh my goodness, I hope you feel better soon! I have found Colace to be useless, but Milk of Magnesia, while disgusting, does work really well, maybe try that next time?

I have no words of advice but mine started coming out about a week ago and while I knew it would happen it is unbearable hard, and I was shocked at the sheer amount coming out. I'm looking at some shorter cuts but I hate short hair on me, so I'm not going to go that short. I'm going to look into some clip-in human hair extensions too. Like you I already had thin hair, baby fine + PCOS thinning, and I was already using Vitamins and Nioxin, so there isn't anything else to try. It's from the anesthesia and shock of the surgery. It really sucks.

We have the best intentions to stock up and prepare before surgery, but learn from my mistake and don't buy too much. I found Premier Protein the most palatable, I bought a metric shiz-ton of it, and now I have to hope that I can return it because your tastes change and I can't stomach it. Many people like Premier Protein, especially when mixed in coffee. I've been making my own with Greek yogurt and Fairlife milk. Fairlife milk is really helpful to have on hand, it has more protein and less sugar than regular milk, it is lactose-free and it tastes like regular milk. I've been using it to thin out other products that are too sweet and to use instead of Water to give things a protein boost.

A single tangerine isn't going to make enough of a difference with your liver. Just keep strong from this point on. The shakes are vile, definitely, but you can do it!

It isn't easy, and I did have pain, but it was very well managed with medication. I have had terrible Constipation, but as much as that sucks, it is a small price to lose as well as I have. Overall it has been easier than I anticipated, I was afraid of unbearable pain, starvation level hunger and vomiting, and I didn't have any of that. I am starting to lose my hair, and this has by far been the worst of it, and I'm extremely upset by it, but I have yet to see an after picture of anyone that has gone bald, so I am hoping it resolves soon. It's not easy but it's worth it.

My Hair loss is starting and my weight loss is slowing. In a low place at the moment.

Thanks. I've been on Biotin and other Vitamins since before the surgery but I know that most of it is shock from the anesthesia. Who knows, it might have been worse without it.

The weird thing is, its not like you hear average weight or slim people complaining about their aching tailbones all the time. Weird.

I am 11 weeks out and averaging 600-650 a day.

For that small of a portion it is probably 1/2 tablespoon.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling down. Those two things would make me feel down as well! My DIL warned me about the possibility of Hair loss and I started taking Biotin 6 months before my surgery. I started cutting the capsule open and adding it to applesauce last week and now ordered some chewable ones. I’m not sure it’s going to help but I’m hoping

Try it again in another day or two, and definitely in the morning. It's probably Fluid.

You can tell the truth without discussing your surgery: Portion Control, low carb, seeing a nutritionist, etc.

OMG, I thought I was nuts! I am only about halfway to goal, but I noticed tailbone pain once I had lost 30lbs. or so and now that I am 59lbs. down it is worse. It isn't unbearable, more of a stiffness and soreness, but I knew it had to have something to do with the loss of padding.

My regret is not doing it sooner. I lost 20 before surgery and 34.5 since surgery 2.5 months ago. It's HARD. I'm struggling a lot this week, I just want to stuff my face and I am frustrated as hell, but it's worth it. I would have binged dozens of times in these past 2.5 months if the surgery didn't prevent it.

My only incision was in my belly button. Self dissolving stitches and some sort of glue that formed a sort of "plug". It started to fake away about 10 days later and completely fell off in about 2-3 weeks.

Grilled chicken, while healthier, is harder to tolerate. My personal strategy is as long as I keep to 600 calories or so and get my Protein for the day and make generally good choices, it is ok to work in something like chicken nuggets. I I wouldn't have them often because they are high in fat so they have a lot of calories for a small portion, but they are ok once in a while unless they are a trigger food for you. Chicken nuggets wouldn't be a trigger food for me, but other things, like chewy carbs are, so I try to stay away from those.

You did it once, you can do it again. Best wishes to you!
