Im A May Sleever!

Anyone else going to have their sleeve in May? I'm excited and now the nervousness has set in. I am reading a few posts that people are in the hospital for like 3 days. My dr said I would only be in the hospital one day. And that I would walk the same day as my surgery.... Is this something they tell everyone or should I plan on more than one day there? Either way, my life changes May 16th and I'm excited :)

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!

May 16 and 46lbs down (;

  • Author

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.
