Hi my surgical twin :) I am also december 2 lol

My hair is totally thinning like you

Say yours is. I have huge hair balls in the shower drain. It's worse than after having my babies.

I looked over the 5 day pouch jump start. It makes sense and there is a lot of great recipes. I googled it, but I believe someone has a link to it on here.

I too had a stall, about a month. I felt like giving up and that all my work and surgery was for nothing. I was super depressed and felt like a failure. But today I feel better and started dropping again.

Please send me an email or text 678-497-5820 or tamnic75@gmail.com Tammy

I'm a December sleever! I'm 16 weeks post op, and have lost 44 pounds. I feel great. I'm at a plateau, but I believe that this will pass in a few weeks. I really have no craving other than for peanut butter!

By the way, had the sleeve surgery on December 23.

Sleeved 12/29, down 76 lbs, feeling energetic, my brain won't shut down when I need to sleep, I haven't been getting anywhere near my goal in Protein or Water the past two weeks, and my hair is falling out like crazy!! =/

I'm 4 months post surgery, sleeved December 17th. Down 47 lbs, and I feel better than I have in years.

I may be loosing a little bit of hair, it's hard to tell because of the menopausal Hair loss I've had for the past year. I'm not sure how to tell the difference. I had a little bit of bleeding gums, but I increased my Vitamin C with a chewable and it seemed to do the trick.

I feel so good, I have no complaints. I'm happy that I made the decision to have this surgery.

July 11 will be 7 months post op. I'm down 92 pounds. I'm finding I still perceive myself as really overweight. Picking out clothes is a little shocking as I go down a size every 30-45 days.

I was sleeved December 30th 2014 and have lost 48 lbs. About a month ago my hair started falling out like crazy, thankfully I have very thick hair so it hasn't been that noticeable but hoping it slacks off soon! I feel like my weight loss has been so slow. I am thankful for what I have lost but it is very frustrating going a month and having lost only a pound.

My Hair loss has evened out. I also had it cut short (a little too short) but it will grow out before it gets cold. You are probably losing inches. I stick to Protein and veggies. I hardly ever eat carbs except for a sandwich once or twice a month.

My Hair loss has also slowed down. I've lost 113 lbs since surgery on 12/29. I was stuck at the same weight for about a month, at 6 month, but I lost major inches within that time

      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? 🤷‍♀️
