My hair started falling out last month really bad and I started eating more protein...got a shorter cut and its doing alot better.

I feel so much better. Today I ran up two flights of stairs and back down and wasn't out of breath. :) My husband thinks I look sick and likes the first picture I refer to as the fat pic. :( I don't know what to do to make him see how much happier I am. I couldn't get attention from him fat and now I find out he likes me better that way. UGH. I'm not going back !

Don't worry he will adjust. It's just shocking to the people around you. I bet new people don't think you look sick.

Amazing. Well, my DH did not always think I looked great during the losing phase either.

But I do have to say...are you following your surgeon's diet plan. You are consuming way to little calories at this point and this will make you look (and feel) sickly. Sounds like your body could be in starvation mode with such few calories. Those who are not sleeved will not understand this...but EAT to live healthy. We all had VSG to lose weight but more importantly to be healthy.

So, eat to survive no matter if you do or don't feel like it. My hair (even with high protien & Biotin) fell out too for about three months. Stopped and then started growing back. Today I probably have thicker hair than before.

Your husband is only concerned. He may be frightened of who you are becoming. Really sit down and talk to him to see what his real concerns are and help him out. You are morphing into a new lady. Congrats!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. My husband is overweight but nothing like me. He is 6'7 about 260#.

What I eat is always on the go. Its usually whatever i can throw in the microwave or eat on my way to work.

I wish they gave classes on cooking and eating after the surgery .

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
