Thankyou for your response , I have noticed regrowth , ok I may give that a go, i will probably speak to my GP too , Thankyou

Hi , I'm 14 months post surgery, I've lost 120lbs , I have 14lbs left to my goal, I started losing my hair at around 4months post opp , I take all my vitamins, my bloods have come back ok , my hair loss is still happening, it has slowed down, when will it stop ? I try to hit my protein goal but some days i don't hit my target, I can't lose any more hair, its making me feel so low , any advice please

Hi , I'm 5 months post op , I noticed hairloss around 1month a go , when I wash my hair I lose the most , some days I loose more hair then others, I take my vitamins everyday , I don't get my 80g of protein in a day like I should, I'm really starting to try hit my target each day now of 80g , I've added in protein shakes to help achieve this, how long does this hairloss go on for ? It's been 1 month, i really don't want to loose anymore ??? I take the highest strength biotin I started taking that 1 month pre op, I'm going to start taking collegen , is this something I just need to ride out ? I know my hair will grow back but I don't want to lose it in the first place

I'm 5 months post op and I've lost 27kg , I have 20kg more to go untill I hit target , when did you start to maintain? My doctor told me after 12 months things start to slow down, is this true? I'm really hoping I will reach my goal , I'm putting a lot of work in Tia

So I think I found the issue , I've increased my calories and I have so much more energy now ?

Strange isn't it, maybe it's because we're not eating as much as we was ? , when I came out of hospital I recovered so quickly, I had no pain, I didn't even need to stay in over night because I was doing so well , now a couple of months have passed I feel so week, hopefully you will feel better soon and hopefully I will too!

I do try to get a balanced diet, I could do with eating more veg though , I'll try up my fruits and veg and see if that helps, thanks

I had a full blood count done 2 weeks ago and everything came back fine , I have a vitamin b jab booked for 2 weeks time

So I had my surgery a couple of months ago and I feel so weak! Just walking round a supermarket drains every bit of my energy and my body aches after , I'm not strong like I used to be, I'm really trying to get my protein In , I've done well today with 80g but some days I only get 30g in , when will I get my energy back?

This is completely normal, I didn't go for over 2 weeks, you need to try drink as much as possible , keeping hydrated will help

This is so interesting! Thankyou!

Hi so I'm on the pill and I don't have periods as my pill stops this, 2 weeks before my op I was spotting, I don't know if the milk diet stressed my body out , I had my op 3 weeks ago, I'm having such a heavy period! Is this normal ? Anyone else experience this after surgery? I've been on for 5 weeks ! I have a appointment with my doctor in a couple of weeks, just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced long heavy periods after surgery?

I haven't had a movement in 2 weeks and i take senna every night !

Oh really! That's a shame, thankyou, I hope so ! I really hate this stage so far

So I'm still on the liquid stage , the first few days I was eating just fine , then the last few days everything I'm eating just tastes horrible, I've been eating yoghurt, protein shakes, homemade soup ,low sugar custard, I'm sick of food! I'm hoping pureed stage will be better ! 4 days to go and I can try puree

Thankyou! ?

Hi , so I'm 5 days post op , I'm on the liquid stage, everything I'm eating tastes to sweet ! So I have been eating, yoghurt,protein shakes, chicken soup, I used to have such a sweet tooth before and now I really don't! My surgeon said I can have anything as long as it's smooth liquid , any ideas what i can have? Struggling here!

The pre op diet is so hard! I could only drink milk , I don't know how far your in but after day 5 it gets easier and day 10 i didn't feel hunger at all, good luck you've got this !

So my surgery date is tomorrow! I don't know how i feel, excited and nervous at the same time , I'm having the gastric bypass, any advice welcome ?

It was a long process with the NHS was about 3 years , when I got on the waiting list after meeting the surgeon, I was lucky to get a cancellation so I only waited 5 months

Thankyou ! Congratulations to you and happy 1 year out!

Yes I was given a diet sheet , I can only drink 4 pints of milk a day, I can have 2 pots of jelly and that's it , thankyou

So I have my surgery next week! I'm having the gastric bypass, I'm having it on the nhs I'm from the UK, I couldn't afford to have it done here privately, anyone on here who has had it done on the nhs ? How long did it take to recover? I'm on the pre op diet and I'm starving! Lol the first few weeks I Have to be on a liquid diet, any ideas of what I could have?

30th January for me !
