I’ll be a year out on Saturday. I’ve lost 82 lbs so far. I’m proud of myself. I had the Sleeve done.

Feel free to ask any questions

As you get further away from your surgery date how is your appetite? Has it increased, if so by much?

What was your longest stall? How long did it last?how did you break it

Congrats on your success

Did you lose your hair? I’m so scared... my hair had been really growing nicely, and now all of a sudden every time I run my fingers through my hair I have several strands between my fingers. My hair was looking so pretty and long, and I just don’t want it falling out. I have been using Nioxin shampoo since before surgery (gastric sleeve and hiatal hernia repair), which was on 9/11/17, and I’ve also been taking biotin, zinc, B12, and also I take my multi vitamin twice daily and calcium, as well as my iron, omprazole, and also started taking a collagen to help with hair, skin, joints, etc. The collagen is supposed to help hair, but it’s been since I started taking it that I’ve noticed my hair coming loose. Also, I’ve been at a standstill for about two weeks with no weight loss. Please help! Thank you!! Congratulations on your weight loss!!

I can only eat 4oz or 5 oz about every three hours now. At first I could only eat a few teaspoons of food. At about two months I was up to 2 1/2 oz of food. So for the life it should be about 4 to 5 oz.

I think I have a stall every couple of months. It’s very normal. My first stall was at a month out. Body was playing catch up. The second stall I had to increase my protein to break the stall. I’m a slow loser also

Congratulations!! It’s normal for the hair to come out. Mine started at three months out. It grew back thicker which is a good thing. I take all my vitamins and biotin too. Some people get lucky and don’t have hair loss.

When you have a stall, your body is playing catch up. Don’t stress over it. It’s normal too. If you continue to stall try increasing your protein. I had do this. Hope this helps

Congrats on your success

It depends on my day or mood. Also depends on if I’m at work. Work days I eat at 6:45am. I eat protein first. That could be a yogurt or egg or oatmeal or even chicken. Lunch I can eat a salad or chicken and a vegetable and same for lunch. I eat my last meal around 7 or 8pm. I eat three meals and two snacks. I have coffee early in the morning. Small portions are s key. I do cheat sometimes. I don’t deprive myself of anything. I have my lemon drop cookies. I even have my chicken strips from Popeyes. My cat [emoji250] helps me eat those. Lol

What was your starting/current weight and how at all are you?

Congratulations on a year and a wonderful weight loss. Dec 18 will be mine. Could you recommend a protein shake. There are so many to choose from.

Congrats!! What was your longest stall? I'm almost at 5 months post op and I've been in a stall for like a month...
