Oof, I'm 3 months post op and my hair just started coming out in clumps I really hope it stops falling out/grows back soon.

Hi there,
Generally doing okay but have had a couple of bad days where I’ve struggled with cramps and bloating. Drinking Water going well but some foods still upset my tummy. Weight loss has been steady. Lost 26kg ( 57.2 lbs) since my surgery on the 17th of July. Have my 3 month check up soon.

This is very good advice, thank you so much. Admittedly I think I've been weighing myself too often. I don't want to end up neurotic about the scale!

Your first stall is quite scary, most off us have the moment when we think we must have done something wrong. You will have many stalls and many times when you will gain a little. You will get used to it.
Keep off the scales as much as possible, that road leads to sorrow. You are not dieting anymore. You are learning a new way to live.

my first thought would be bloating/water retention from your period.
fluctuations are normal. so long as the general overall trend is downward, you're golden.

Good Luck! ❤️

You might be hitting a stall. I always gain a few pounds when that happens, but when it breaks, I lose everything I gained plus an extra 2-3 pounds.

Thanks so much for your reassurance! I'm feeling much better today so far, and I have a telehealth visit with my surgeon so I can let him know too.
