Sorry you are going through this and I know it sucks. I guess I'm lucky and unlucky at the same time. My shedding has seriously decreased so I only had a short time of losing a ton of hair. But due to massive shedding in the years before surgery I see more scalp now (and I mean a lot). Its getting harder to disguise it. I wanted a cute pixie cut but scared my scalp will show so I'll be off to the hairdresser for a consult soon.
The good thing is there will be new growth so all we can do is wait this out and per my Derm make sure Protein, Water and Vitamin D levels are good.

For me it was the Constipation, loose skin and food intolerance. There are some foods I still can't tolerate though I keep trying. I hate the constant constipation and I have tried so many things. I knew about the loose skin but really didn't grasp how bad it could be. Can't wait until I have skin removal surgery.

I'll check those out. Thanks

Yes, I have been walking. I was told to move the incline of the treadmill up some. I think you are the one who is on incline 3, if that's you more power to you girl. I darn near gave out and had to slow down my speed. LOL

you had your surgery the day after me. Last 4 weeks i only lost i think 4lb. weight loss slows down as you progress further out. What does your day typically consist of of what you eat?

Are you measuring and logging your food? Most people find that they eat more than thought they were once they start accurately logging their food.

Are you exercising? Maybe change up what you're doing. Log and weigh everything you eat. And watch for non scale victories.

It happens and it will pass if you stay on your plan.
Good luck

Hi,
Welcome!
I also have a dairy and fish allergy so it was a bit harder for me to find a more varied diet. For the yogurt I was using Siggi's plant based yogurt but have since moved over to Kite Hill plant based greek yogurt. Less carbs, less calories and more Protein. For my drinks I use Evolve mainly. I used to use Orgain and OWYN but I think those both have sunflower in them. Just make sure you read the labels and you will be fine.

I have been measuring myself and I never seem to see the tape go down at all. Seems like my measurement stays the same. Well today, I tried on some new jeans that I haven't been able to fit into just yet and today they zipped right up. I'm so happy.
Now I wish I could learn to take good body selfies. Well that's next on the agenda. LOL

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats!

I visit my dietician every 2 months, and this visit I lost 14lbs. In this 2-month period I had a very annoying 26-day stall. My team are always overjoyed with my progress, so I am ok with it too. I am eating 800 - 1000 cals a day.
Everybody loses weight at a different rate but if we keep to a calorie deficit, then eventually we will all end where we want to. See what this month brings regarding weight loss and if you are still seeing poor results then get back to your team and get them earning their keep

pretty much, my weight loss slowed at the at the 6 month mark then at the 10 month mark I dropped 2 kg then it stopped. my lowest weight was 1 week off my 1 year mark but I have since put on 2 kg

There are things you can depend upon. Stalls happen & you can experience several of them. Our rate of weight loss slows as we progress (as our calorie intake slowly increases & gets closer to the number of calories our body needs to function & maintain our weight). Our weight loss is never a straight downward line on a graph. It zigs & zags, up & down. And everyone’s weight fluctuates & women fluctuate more thanks to our hormones. It can be Fluid, Constipation, what we are, how much we drank, or just your body.
Not sure how much you want to lose & what your weight currently is but it’s likely you’re in a stall. But chat with your dietician. You may need to tweak your diet or activity.

When I was at my highest weight, it felt like my body was just running out of places to put more fat and I started getting pads of fat in weird places.
Today I noticed that my "buffalo hump" (fat pad between my shoulder blades) is gone and my back is a more normal shape. And also my "hotdog bun" (rolls of fat at the nape of my neck) is basically gone. The pad on my shin just below my kneecap is almost gone.
I'm still fat as of now, but just in the usual places.

I am so sorry to hear you're dealing with this @SleeveDiva2022
You know you can't have gained 9lbs of fat in 9 days based on your calorie intake so this has to be Water weight and/or a completely overloaded bowel, and/or using different scales, or whatever.
Hormones may well have a part to play but, if so, monitor your weight over a complete menstrual cycle (or two or three) and then decide what's going on.
I do totally get the despair that a gain like that will induce but I hope it's a temporary blip for you. You have done amazingly well so far.
Anyway - long story short - you got this.
