Has anyone experienced an excessively itchy scalp? No dandruff and the hair falling out has decreased but my scalp itches like crazy.

I eat between 900 and 1100 calories a day.

I have been getting my extra Protein in by eating yogurt two times a day with a scoop of GENEPRO protein added to it. This was the only way that I could get it in. I don't like the shakes or the Protein Bars. I try to eat a little beef Jerky during the day as well. Protein has been a bit of a struggle for me.

LisaCO I always hated pictures of myself before too. Now I am not so resistant to them. I'm slowly gaining my self esteem as I slowly lose this weight.

I just got back from a long weekend in Maine, then stopped in CT to see my mom, brother, sis-in-law and got to watch my nephew play baseball. It was an absolutely wonderful birthday weekend. And, surprisingly, I lost 3 pounds!

I stayed at my friend's B&B and he is a world-renowned chef. Although he doesn't know the details, he does know that I have lost over 80 pounds. Therefore, he was BRILLANT (he happens to be Scottish so that was my imitation of him) with his food creations for me... Very high Protein... very low (or non-existent carbs)... fresh fruits and veggies. One night, he served all the guests a 7 course Indian extravaganza with wine pairings (yes, I did have wine)... I sampled every course, however, I did not FINISH any course. (I told him in advance and he totally understood and didn't take it personally). Well, I was in heaven....

Given all that, I truly was amazed that I actually lost weight! Must have been the amount of walking and exercise I did. Or, as someone on one of the posts mentioned, "change it up to shock your system"... Indidan food can shock one's system. :)

It was a spectacular birthday weekend!

I woke up 2 pounds lighter this morning. I hope this means plateau is over.

I do believe if you have lost, that would be the definition of "not a plateau" ;-) congratulations! 2 pounds is amazing!

Hey, I have itchy scalp and dandruff. My hair is also falling like crazy. I am in the weight stall from hell too. It seems like every pound I lose comes right back the next day. Today I am at the 6 month mark. Shouldn't complain too much because I did lose 84 lbs. It's just in the last month it was less then 2 lbs. I also noticed I can eat a lot more then I used to. For example, I went out with friends for lunch, I had a salad with salmon and usually I could only eat 1/2 of the portion. I ate the whole thing today over 1/2 hour period. It's a reasonable sized salad but that's a new one for me. It used to be I couldn't eat more then 1/4 cup of food at a time.

I have the itchy scalp and sort of dandruff too! My Hair loss is slowly decreasing, but still comes out alot. But the scalp thing is a new thing, I just started noticing it last week. I was in the shower and my scalp felt tingly and then itchy...after that it's like every day I'm scratching my head!

Beni, I have noticed that as well. I can eat way more than I feel like I should be able to. My ditz of a PA doesn't seem to think that's an issue. Idk. I don't like it though. I feel like it's going to bring in old habits, eating too much, always being hungry. :-(

Beni and Luna, I was up to eating about a cup per meal and my PA said she was happy with that. My thought was "no way". I've decreased my meal size and I'm still full and satisfied. I was getting to the point that I was eating because it tasted good and that's an old habit that got me here in the first place. It's a realization that really scares me.

My stall began at the six month mark too, I was October 8th. It's easy to say we should count or blessings but the reality of it is you worry that this is it. That was a constant worry. I'm feeling back on track, at least hopeful that I am.

As for the itchy scalp. Ugh, I try not to scratch in public and have switched conditioners twice. I'm also not coloring. Oh hello grey hairs. Sigh.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
