So..... Is it like noticeable? Temporary? Preventable? Bound to happen or just a small possibility that it may happen.?

Did it come back nicely? Different?

I love my hair.< /p>

hair loss... It is inevitable. Most of us will have it. Some very little. Some, it may be about half the amount of hair they have currently. But know this, it is temporary. It will grow back. Some say Biotin may help it. I currently take it and use Nioxin. The Nioxin is a Shampoo that makes your hair look thicker and may promote faster growth. You will notice the thinning more than anyone. It starts around 3 months and should stop around 6-9 months. From what I am told, it grows back the way it was. It's a small price for me, but this happens with most surgeries. Good luck.

Some say it is from the anesthesia. Some think lack of certain nutrients, and of course the Protein. We are supposed to get 60-80 grams of protein a day. Most get that amount. And of course we are all told to take a small meal's worth of Vitamins.< /p>

Everything I've seen points to protien deficiency. Unfortunately, while in the clear stage the #1 goal is hydration and very few ppl consume enough protien to meet their needs. I was very persistent on getting protien in even going as far as breaking a few rules. I can say, my weight loss has been slower than some, but I'm 46 days post-op and haven't experienced a stall or hair loss yet.

I also feel I should add I have learned a few things from this forum, that I now believe I could have done this within the boundaries of the diet plan that was given.

Nothing special, no tricks or anything, just stuff like Isopure clear protien drinks, Unjury chicken Soup, mixing unflavored protien into Jello and such.

So...are you saying without the sleeve? I was following a high Protein low carb diet prior to my surgery. This is similar to what I'm following, however now I'm eating smaller portions. I don't have the free will to eat larger portions like I did before or have a carb breakdown.

**I just noticed your starting weight. I can understand why you feel that way.

Good Luck to you.

I'm confused.

I have no idea what you might have read into my post, or what you think I feel, or what said feeling might pertain to . Or what my start weight might have to do with whatever feeling is being addressed here.

Just for the record, I may be wrong, I think my loss is pretty average given all the variables. I'm 45days post-op and down 43lbs (both as of yesterday) so that's just just under 1lb per day. I so far haven't experienced any stalls, nor have I seen any hair loss. I'm pretty happy with that

Yes and the Protein shots that are 35 g and small

Admittedly I'm not really familiar with the protien shot, but I have read here in the forum that many if not all of them use collagen as the source of protien, and are not usable by our bodies. Whether or not this is actually the case, I don't know, but if you are using them as a protien source you may want to check into it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
