Hello September post-ops!! Congrats to everyone!! Keep up the great job!!

I'm a November WLS. Seeking advise on what worked for you, did you get weak/fatigue and hair loss. Any suggestions.

My progress:

WLS 11/14/13

SW 266

CW 233

GW 165

I'm averaging 2 lbs per week, no exercise due to knee injury/pain. Doctor is happy with my progress. I'm too, my battle is to have enough energy to function upon getting up to hey ready to drive to work and get through the day.

Issues I've been experiencing feeling tired, fatigue and exhausted. I eat all my water/ meals/proteins/vitamins and average 600 to 900 calories daily, try to eat more to get energy levels up, helps some days.

I'm 3 months as of Friday 2/14/14 and I've stated losing globs of hair especially after I Shampoo. So I'm washing every other day. I was expecting this may happen, but so emotionally distressing and nerve wrecking to see it come out so much so quickly. I'm totally freaked out. Praying it slows down soon.

Anyone else feeling exhausted and losing your hair??

I take juice a Plus every day and make sure I intake plenty of Protein. The only time I had Hair loss was when I slacked-up on the protein.

I hope you discover what the issue is-it's wakeful to lose your hair.

What is Juice a plus?

It's capsules that provide all the phytonutrients of fruits and vegetables without eating all the USDA recommended servings. I'm a firm believer this has helped me with some of the deficiencies that are so common. I take 2 fruits in the morning and 2 veggies in the evening. The only ingredients are fruits and vegetables-nothing else-i've watched a video on how they do it and it's pretty amazing.

And, BTW, spellcheck wreaks havoc again! I was trying to type "awful".

SAMs Club sells a version called juice Festive (in the Vitamin area). It's much cheaper than Juice Plus and I think just as good.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
