@@L.Harmony Are you taking Biotin? I do but I have noticed this last week more strands of hair on my clothing than normal. No handfuls, at least not yet. The hair loss is supposed to get better after 6 months. Glad your doing well with the weight loss!

@@steph_anie wow, you are doing amazing!!! I sometimes wonder why I was so scared of the surgery to begin with!! I had the Roux N Y. Lots of sleever's on here & everyone seems to be doing well with both surgery's!!

Has any one else noticing some hair loss? Mine isn't horrible but I just started noticing at 3 months more hair on my clothing. No clumps just more strands than usual. Taking Biotin everyday, & getting my protein in. I'm at a stall right now, for 2 weeks. I haven't been walking as much, so I know what I need to do! Hope everyone else is doing well!!!.

Hi all. I was just at my surgeon yesterday. I'm 10 weeks post op. Even though I'm a November RNY, I just love all you peeps from the October group. So, I'm jumping in! (Been lurking for months now)????

My surgeon stressed a lot yesterday about possible hair loss. He told me it most likely will be the worst in months 3 through 6. It will come back! So far, I'm ok, but 3 months is around the corner!LOL I'll keep you updated.

Wishing you all the best!

My hair is long so the thinning is noticeable to me- not sure if others notice though. It's not like people are going to mention it! Lol

Still having problems achieving a 'balanced' diet and getting in my protein. My NUT keeps telling me to eat more veggies and carbs but I'm like protein first means I'm usually full from protein. The struggle is real!

I've been in a stall but I am plugging along, following program and trying to get in my water. I know it'll move eventually but man- it's easier to feel motivated when the scale is moving!

Keep this thread alive October people! (And amazing November people who want to join us! :)

I'm right at 3 months and is starting for me. I'm adding a hair skin and nails. And vitamin e oil helps too ive read.

I have noticed hair loss in my brush, but nothing dramatic… yet, that is! Being just past the 3 month point myself, I presume that I may see an increase soon. I am getting my protein and taking Biotin, as well. I guess that is all we can do. I know that my skin is doing much better post surgery, so that is good :) Probably has to do with cleaner living, less sugars, etc. ;) I have been in a stall too… i dropped below 200 at Christmas, but I've been stuck in the mid-190s. I too need to walk more. I have only been walking about 3-4 times a week and I should be walking at least 6 :(

I hear you. I joined a gym this week but so far I haven't included exercise into my program at all. I need to make time for exercising! I think as a mom of young kids (3&5) I forget about self-care. And exercise will likely help push us through these stalls.

Ok I'm committing to actually entering the gym I joined! Haha

I actually joined a gym today too! Lol. And because I have to pay for it, I will go!!

I went today and it was amazing. I forgot how much I missed going. (Haven't been in almost a year) I'm hoping this gets me off my stall.

Ok! You've inspired me! I will go to the gym and not just talk about it!!! :)

I joined the gym last week and this week stuck in the house because of blizzard. I had my 3 month appt last week. Labs look great, I had to cut back on my B vitamins and my cholesterol is 120! I am losing hair too. I have lost 28% of excesos weight. They don't like to set goals, but told me at 6 months they like to see 40-50% EWL. I think once I get in the gym. I have been snacking a bit much being stuck at home. Trying to drink plenty of water. The struggle is Real!

I'm at a stall.... I started school about two weeks ago and it has interfered with my gym time. That and I've been going to physical therapy for my foot. I miss going I miss having the time to go. I need to get back in there. I just need more hours in a day.

@@SleeveandRNYchica You can tell by the pics its coming off!!!! Yea!!!! I've been snacking lately too! ;-(. Hunger has come back some!!

@@L.Harmony It must be really hard having to have therapy on your foot & school to get any exercise anyway! For some reason & maybe its just this cold weather were having I can't seem to get myself back on my walking schedule & the scale is showing me with the stall I need to! Like @@SleeveandRNYchica said the struggle is real!!!
