this site is SO FRUSTRATING! it takes forever to go from page to page and it won't let me edit my tracker, so I tried to do a new one and now that is not working either!! GRRRR. What's going on? This is such a great place to come to find out things, but it's useless if you can't look for things since it takes 5 minutes just to load a page!

How are all my fellow May sleevers? I had my operation May 17. With 67 pounds down with a goal of 100 total to lose. So I am almost 3/4 there. I have been experiencing the Hair loss for the past month. I am starting to add back a Protein Shake in a day, any other suggestions for the hair?

I had surgery May 16th and I have lost about 60 pounds post op. I have noticed my hair feels finer, like it's hard for it to stay in a ponytail, it just slips out! I think bringing back a Protein Shake would be a good idea. I am going to try that. I have been terrible at tracking my food and Water so I really want to get back on track with that. Chrysler, have you tried taking any Biotin? I think that is good for helping hair regrowth. I know it's inevitable we lose some hair, but it will grow back. ;)

I just heard on another thread about Biotin. I will have to research it. Ive only been on the one a day shake for a few days so I will give it a while longer to see if the Protein is helping, I do know it cant hurt lol.Congrats on the weight loss, sounds like you are on the right track! Feel healthier? I know I have more energy and it feels better clothe shopping thats for sure!

Yes clothes shopping is MUCH better! But I feel like I don't want to buy alot because I don't want to be in the size very long! haha. And some jeans fit better than others. I am so happy though to be out of the "plus" sizes!

Congrats on your weight loss. As to hair loss i wish there was something out there that really works. I have been taking Biotin and two Protein Shakes a day since my 2 month post op and still have hair loss. I have read many post and we are all different but i too pray it stops soon.

I have taken the biotin now for about ten days.... not working. called the dr and they said it is just a phase that usually occurs at the 3-6 month mark. i know I cannot wait until its over with. my hair is getting so thin its ridiculous. My hair was already thin to begin with sheesh. I wish you the best of luck with your hair problem. It is just a phase...it is just a phase...

What kind of excersizes are you doing may I ask? I need to kick it up over here.Just got over a small stall again. I am soooo ecstatic to be out of plus sizes as well! Makes you feel a whole lot better about yourself. We were walking in front of a store the other day and I am no longer afraid to see myself in the glass. It was a solid moment of true happiness and bliss.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
