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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
