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 :)

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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
