The hair loss will slow once you up your protein intake. Also try Biotin. You can find it at Walmart or a pharmacy. I take one in the am and pm. You have to think you didn't go this whole process to not be successful. You have to motivate yourself. It's hard to go thru this surgery. All the preop stuff is not easy or cheap. Try to aim for a walk a few days a week. It will get better. Your averaging almost 4 lbs a week. That's great.

Hi there. Today is my one month surgerversary. Im down 22lbs but I also feel stuck too.Not sure if its because I'm trying new foods but Im thinking about going back to just liquids for like two weeks to see if that helps. Will also increase my workouts to about 5x per week. Hope this helps.
