I'm there with you on the Hair loss. I chopped my hair off this week because I couldn't take the psychological distress of losing it. It's a great cut and I love it, but I miss my long hair.

I'm completely bald. It’s less to mow down with Mr. Gillette!

Guess I'm lucky. I haven't had any Hair loss so far. I suppose it could still happen.

Damn!! Wow that's cool! Any tips?

I am carb sensitive- something I never knew until this surgery. I eat carbs but try to stick around 50 grams a day. Also I upped my calories to about 800 as soon as I could. I think those two factors have paid off for my consistent steady loss. Stalls happen but so far I haven't really ever had one. :-)

Are you taking Pepcid AC or anything? My Dr. wants me to take Pepcid AC for the first year at least. I haven't had any heartburn at all. It cheap to pick up the generic at costco.< /p>

Start weight 228

Surgery weight 216

Today's weight 178

Total of 50 pounds in 3 1/2 months

The only problem is I'm losing too much hair. I'm drinking/ eating all my Protein and Vitamins. Also taking 10,000 Mg of Biotin. Not sure why my hair is falling out so much. I'm so afraid of being bald. However I'm very happy with the weight loss. I'm 27 pounds to my goal. I am able to eat everything I desire so far, minus eggs. I can eat eggs but my sleeve doesn't really like it so I'm staying away from it. I can use some advice on the Hair loss, Pls...

I talked to the surgeon & the nut, they both said this is normal. Keep your protein high which will help it slow down, but to expect the hair loss until you stop losing. I am going to get my hair cut shorter to help with the regrowth.

My appointment went well. He said I was slightly under the expected weight loss for 4 months, but I am not quite 4 months yet. The exercise guy didn't even recognize me, he walked right by me not realizing who I was :) I need to get moving now that I was ok'd by the cardiologist. There is a gym moving very close to my house, can't wait for them to open!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
