I was sleeved on 8/13 and have lost 64 lbs. to date. I was feeling pretty good up until about 4 weeks ago where I just stalled out AND I started loosing hair--big ole clumps of hair. Not only was I frustrated that my weight wasn't moving, I was frustrated that hair was starting to go just when I thought I had avoided that side effect! I thought I was working the plan . . . journaled my food intake, exercising 4x weekly, Water, Protein etc. Then, I decided to log on and research hair loss and weight stalls since I don't have a support group option near me. Many people said hydrate, up your calories, get your protein in. So I have been consciously doing that for the past few days and FINALLY the stall has broken

So thank you my little online support group. You helped without even knowing it

Congrats!!! Stalls are the worst.

Congrats!

You beat the stall. Woohoo!

I was sleeved in June 2014. hair loss started in October. I hope it will slow down soon. I feel you're pain:)

And you've had fantastic weight loss! Congrats. Any ideas how long the hair loss lasts?

Thanks, I do my best to follow the people that have been successful. Last months news letter from my surgeons office said you can loose hair up to 6 months after it starts.

@@geelynn I'm just curious how much protein do you get a day?

Hi! I try to get between 70-90 g per day. I track my intake on the Lose It app on my phone (love it) but a lot of people like My Fitness Pal as well. I drink 2 Protein shakes a day--one mid morning and one about 1/2 hour before bed. This really helps to up the protein. Hope that helps!
