Make Sure to get your fluids in! I have heard of it happening though.

I'm almost 2 1/2 years out and have slid back into some bad habits.. Year one I lost over 150 pounds and this past year I've gained almost 50 from my lowest.. I would LOVE to have a Buddy to check in with and Share a Support system with.
Below is a picture of my one year Sleeversary.
"If it is to be, it is up to me."

Slowly getting there.

I feel like I am stalling but adjusting diet again

Hope all is well fellow sleevers! I am doing okay and losing weight. Down 30 pounds since 6-21-17. Slow and steady wins the race!

Hi all,

I had my surgery 6-21-17. I have been taking all my Vitamins and hair vitamins that my doctors nutritionist tells me to take.

My hair has become more brittle and thin out more

I get my Protein in too. Has anyone else experienced this and when will it end?

Is there anything I can do to stop it and help it?

Thanks

Mel

Okay I read everywhere that Hair loss is common. I had my surgery 6/21 and I have noticed my hair thinning and becoming brittle.

I take my Vitamins and hair vitamins which my doctors nutritionist tells me to take and I get my Protein in.

When does this she's stop and what else can I do to help my hair?

Good Luck [emoji1303][emoji256] you got this!

I need help with accountability and my struggle of eating.....I had a revision from sleeve to Bypass on May 30. In the past I have had 2 lap band surgeries....then lap band to sleeve in 2012....with not successful weight loss and recently the sleeve to by-pass.
I have no issues with dumping......I ate a cookie to see how my body would react....nothing happened.....The only time I feel any type of discomfort is if I get too full...but it seems I can eat more than most folks who have had by-pass.
I struggle with eating when I am not even hungry.......I have struggled with this issue for years which is one reason why my WLS have not been a success. I currently work out 5 days a week: both cardio and strength. I am 57 years old.
The struggle is REAL for me.......I probably should seek some type of counseling because of my "need to eat" when I am not hungry...
I feel do disappointed and discouraged that I will NEVER lose weight.....
I have lost 20 lbs, but that was my initial weight loss right after my surgery....I have not lost or gained in over 4 weeks.....

You're an inspiration! All of your hard work is paying off. Great job! Keep getting healthy. [emoji5]

Allison, I am so excited that you are ready for your new journey! Just remember to breathe and take time for yourself.
I made sure to clean and stock my pantry.
I was a little scared at first too. But looking back I would do it all again! [emoji7]

Everyone Looks AwEsOmE!!!! I cannot wait to post before and after photos!

Hi all,

I live in Lake Villa, IL. Hope all is well. I am 3 weeks post op and down 18 pounds. slowly getting healthy which is so awesome. Still sore at times but its getting better. How is everyone else?

I am in the same boat, I had my surgery on 6/21 and I was down 13 lbs and now have been holding at the same weight for 3 days. Guess I have to get more walking in[emoji12]

Hi all!

I have the sleeve on 6-21-17. I do not have a history of high blood pressure. Usually mine is well within the normal range. After surgery it was high and continues to be 140/94 it hangs around there. Plus my pulse it higher than normal. I called my doctor and was told not to worry and that they will monitor it and I should be fine. What could be causing this? Can dehydration cause HBP? My doctor checked for leaking and I am all good. Any thoughts or feed back is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mel
