Anyone for September 2020?
226 now down to 160. I'm losing hair by the handful and had to chop off 4 inches yesterday due to it p Looking so thin! I'm taking biotin daily but dr said low B12 and iron can cause hair loss too so I've upped that too. I haven't been to the gym yet as it's been closed and my surgeon recommended waiting until 6m after surgery to start working out. Since I'm 5pds away from his goal weight for me he's advised against cardio now and to only do strengthening exercises but still wait until 6 month's post surgery.

Some Surprises I didn't expect with WLS
4 months out. 1. Always cold... I used to keep the heat at 18C ... now it's usually at 21C 2. 67pds down I'm now having to buy new stretchy pants since the old ones are huge on me 3. I'm losing my bum completely... I always thought I was one of those girls who had a Kim K bum naturally... I guess only when I'm overweight. 4. Dark circles are my trademark look. I never had them before but I guess being low on nutrients means dark circles 5. Gatorade and ice cold water go down the easiest. 6. My knees hurt if I don't cuddle a pillow

September 2020 update!
How are all my Sept 2020 friends doing? My surgeon says I'm reaching his goal too quickly and I need to start bringing up my calories. I've lost 67pds since my surgery Sept 29th and am now 160. (His goal for me was 150).

So. Much. Burping.
Im 3.5 months out and although I've never in my life been able to burp loudly there's a constant gurgling sound after I eat or drink now. My surgeon said it can last up to a yr and it's my new stomach learning to push out air.. i don't have any wind at all though

Charcuterie board
I was thinking of making a charcuterie board for Christmas. It will definitely have chunks of turkey but what meats and cheese do you suggest adding that are bariatric friendly?

Under eye circles are DARK
Well blood tests came back and dr told me I'm anemic. I started on my Iron supplements today with the hopes that it's up by January.

Post op eating
Anyone know if I can eat a chicken salad? I'm 8 weeks out and looking to add variety to my dining choices. I'm so tired of focusing just on protein that it's not becoming repetitive!

Under eye circles are DARK
Im not taking any Iron.. I may need to start because I agree that this was something my daughter used to get when her iron levels we're low. We'd increase her tuna consumption and it would help but with this surgery I don't know if that would be enough.

Under eye circles are DARK
How long until they went away?? I've gotten myself some correcting makeup and a script for blood work but I've never looked worst! Plus I've only lost 40 pds so it's not that drastic yet!

Clothes during Weight Loss
Ive lost nearly 40pds since my Sept 29th surgery but still wear my clothes from pre-surgery. They're getting baggier but it's Covid and we're all working from home here so no way am I spending money until I desperately have to!
