I think it's going slow. I'm down 59 pounds since surgery. 5-18-12. That's 4 months. I feel like I'm not doing as well as I should. My hair is coming out by the handfuls but the weight isn't coming off. I work out 5 days a week & eat less than 800 calories. 70-90 Protein.

I'm really stressed. How r u doing?

Hope you don't mind me chiming in..that's an average of almost 15 pounds a month,,I think that's amazing progress and you should be so proud of yourself. As for the Hair loss, unfortunately it goes with the territory for some and you have to just let it take it's toll. From what I've heard, it grows back.

I appreciate the chiming in! I know you are right. I try not to compare myself to others (but I do!). And some are just killing the weight loss. I am trying not to stress the hair cause I truly believe it will stop & grow back, however it's hard not to freak out when the same large amounts come out daily.

I understand that..I'm almost 9 months out and feel like my loss should be higher but I'm hoping taking the slow road will limit the loose skin. I can relate to the Hair loss too, my sister is a stylist and was cutting my hair..she told me I had 4 bald spots. I've been stressing over it ever since and that doesn't help. I'm making sure to take my Vitamins and supplements daily as well as biosil. She's going to do scalp massage therapy on me but I don't know if any of that will help but at least my scalp will be as healthy as it can be for new hair.lol

I was sleeved by Dr. Weiss back in February, and I've lost just over 60 lbs so far...i was hoping for more loss at this point, but I'm hoping that part of it is that I've lost over half of what I wanted so it's slowing down. I just started noticing some Hair loss about a week ago, so I guess I should be happy it's taken this long to start falling out! :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
