My hair has been coming out for about a month, I'll be 3 months out on the 13th. It's horrible how much hair comes out when I wash it. Going out tonight and have no idea how I'm going to do my hair so I don't look bald :(

my nut explained it as not fallen out. when the body is missing nutrients it pulls from everywhere. our body says it dont need hair so to perserve whats important it will stop the hair from growing and your daily strands of loss you usually lose seem like more because there is no hair growing and the hair will appear thinner, ihope i explained it correctly.i am 3 months out i get in all my protien and i take the top baratric Vitamins and no Hair loss yet, no more than the usual daily shedding.

I know it's confusing. I use the one at home because I know when I go to the Doctor or Nut that I'm going to weigh more due to clothes, food and liquids.

The bathroom scale is a in the morning in the buff body reading. Lol!!!

Newgrandmother did your nut say when it would regrowing? I try to get all my Protein in but averaging 60 grams a day but I'm suppose to have 90. When I washed my hair about 30 strands came out from the root each time I squeezed the Water out. This is so frustrating and I just want to give up on everything. I didn't think I would be yo-yo dieting after having surgery. I have gained 5 pounds this week and its not that time of the month. Ugh!

@ newgrandmother.....way to go girl on losing the weight.

I think the Hair loss is either gonna happen or not but if we stick to eating our Protein I think our bodies will replace the hair that is lost.

NGM - Way to go!!!!

I went shopping today for new jeans and am a bit disappointed. 18's are too big and 16's are just a little bit too small....... Guess I'll need to wear baggy jeans for another couple of weeks.

Oh well at least I'm losing and I'm good with that!

NGM- buy the 16's anyway. Jeans today are so stretchy. They will be tight when you first put them on but they will stretch.

I got I to my first pair of 14's and yes.... I was so doing the happy dance!!!!

I haven't seen that size in over 20 years.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
