Hello all my surgiversary December people,

we are officially 6 months post op!

what an amazing journey this has been for me. I am down 70#’s and still loosing. I am hoping to hit 150 and stabilize at 160. Eating around 900 cal daily, still struggling getting 80g protein and 64 water in. I feel like I always have something in my mouth!

This past month my hair started falling out, I mean, AT THE ROOT…. It’s been a bit terrifying honestly but I know it will grow back. Luckily I had thick hair already, I just hope this ends soon.

Working out, skin is sagging,and all that fun.

I feel a million times healthier, energy level is great, sleep is good, etc

Enough about me… How are you all?

Congratulations!

Up your protein to save your hair.

Up your Protein to save your hair.

As you are saying you are struggling to take in 80 grams of protein a day, which is more than my 60 grams. I feel I must say that there is no research that this works. Also specialised hair products and medications are also shown not to work.

The hair is dead already, what we shed after surgery is a symptom of that body shock. It is a speeded up process of what we would normally shed months in advance.

Glad you are doing well! Same for me, almost! Losing hair, I've lost a little over 60 lbs since sleeve surgery on Dec. 2, 2024, have sagging skin, but overall, I am very glad I did it in hopes I can KEEP it off this time. I'm eating 900-1100 most days I think. And have upped my water and protein since hair has thinned. Praying it comes back like normal soon. I have recently begun working out with resistance, etc 3 days a week and 5 days a week I have a goal of 10k steps. On day 2 of this. LOL! Just need to make it habit again like I did before. It helps!

They said at my already-scheduled one year visit on Dec. 2, that I should probably be around 166. But my own goal is 154. So gotta up my game!! LOL! Then they said ultimate goal should be low end 115 and high end 125 lbs. Cannot imagine being that small. Lowest I ever got to was 155 as an adult and was there about 5 minutes. LOL!

Thanks for doing a check in for us December Peeps! That's my month. Birthday and Christmas all in one! And now surgiversary too!!
