Hey everyone,

My doctor finally cleared me for weightlifting and I wanted to hear what workouts you guys have found that are successful for getting toned while also being mindful of not overdoing it.

I am nervous to go to the gym since I never really know what workouts to do. So any advice helps

Thank you

I agree with everyone above, your progress is amazing!! I would recommend sticking to non-scale victories in the mean time because sometimes the number on the scale isn't the only indicator of progress (personally I feel more accomplished when I notice non-scale victories)

Hello Everyone!!

I am about 1 week and a half away from being 3 months Post-Op! I am making this post so that I can get a heads up of any changes I should be expecting soon, I know one may or may not be Hair loss, but my main question is will my weight loss begin to slow down drastically? I understand that these changes are different for everyone but I would still appreciate everyone's input since I don't know what to expect lol

Hey Everyone,

I have noticed that since my surgery I have been menstruating irregularly and multiple times a month, I have read that it could be because of hormones and the weight loss itself but I am just wanting to see if other people have had similar experiences.

Post - 4 weeks today.
Able to eat just about anything, I haven't had any issues holding down any food. Except Orange juice, but stomach instantly said NO. However I think I"m "overeating" meaning that I get to the point where my stomach is hurting before I stop eating.
Am I doing too much? I guess I don't know how to "stop" eating before I get to the point where I'm like UGHGHGH my stomachhhhhh.. for the next 20 minutes.
Any suggestions are welcome!

I would suggest taking more time between bites, I found that when I wait I can get a feel of how much room I have left before I am full it also helps me stop eating before I accidentally overeat

Hi Everyone!

I am going on vacation at the end of this month and I wanted to if there is anything you recommend I bring so that I can stay on track for my weight loss journey, I also wanted to see whether drinking while on my vacation is something I can do. It is my first time traveling since surgery and I am nervous.

WOOHOO! Congratulations! You will be there before you know it.

There is nothing you can do for Hair loss but be patient and it will grow back. It is natural and can be accelerated by multiple things. Some people lose hair just from anesthesia, Iron deficiency, etc. It is common in WLS because of the lack of calories, your body "dumps" the easiest thing first when fighting. Kind of like why your toes and fingers get frost bite first.

There are a ton of supplements but they don't stop Hair loss, they just help regrowth.

Don't stress it, just keep up on your Protein, fluids, Vitamins etc. and you will be just fine.

Wishing you the best!

Thank you so much, since I've gotten the procedure I have been on these forums and it makes me happy to know that other people going through similar journeys are so supportive of newbies like me.

I was sleeved in September but i still have a ways to go - I’ve only lost 25 lbs - can i ask what you are doing? Are you doing low carb? Just wondering if i can do anything to accelerate my loss - congratulations on your success!

I agree that everyone's journey is different! Before my weight gain, I did have a pretty fast metabolism, as far as what I am doing now is just prioritizing Protein and trying to stay away from carbs.

Hey guys, I recently got my sleeve in October and I am now so close to my goal weight! I am just scared of Hair loss and would like to know tips or tricks please
