Did you lose tons of inches first?
No More Shelly Belly replied to cushy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a little over 2 months out. I had an extremely slow start. My face was the biggest indicator of the lose of weight before the numbers. Everyday someone new asks me how much I weigh (I was very open about my surgery). At first I was proud to tell them but now the numbers are staying the same but my clothes and confidence are improving which gets me noticed! I've lost 37 lbs ( not great compared to most) but I only have to lose 70 total to hit my regular BMI. I have major health issues and still do. I feel great even though the numbers and docs say I have a long way to go! The scale will eventually move but I have learned to "skirt" around the numbers people are very curious to know about! I like being mysterious now! -

I had a cranberry juice with water! Technically it is a mixed drink and no one even knew that I wasn't drinking! -
Sleevers feedback wanted!Will I lose my hair after the Sleeve?
No More Shelly Belly replied to Gr8fulMiniMe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was terrified of this side effect! I started losing my hair early too...about 1.5 months out. I have super fine hair to begin with. It started in clumps but has since trickled to loose hair shedding ( slightly more than norm. I found a (don't laugh) hair powder at Sally's for about $20 that fills my part a little bit. It's amazing! Doesn't come out unless I wash with shampoo. It's called Toppix hair fibers. ($20). Worth every penny! Got a super cute hair cut, and have been getting so many compliments! There are plenty of products out there! No worries! Your gorgeous mane will grow back eventually! I can't really get in all my protein but take biotin religiously! My doc said I'm completely healthy and I look great! Isn't that all that matters? -

OMG...the scale moved! 173.8 -
This is my first post so I'm very anxious about putting myself out there. I should start by saying that I've lost a total of 21 lbs but most of this weight was from pre op. I am stressing myself out about not losing that I don't even want to eat any more. I am still hungry all the time. I take more pills than I did preop, my hair is already falling out, I cry all the time for no reason, my acne is back, I walk at least 2x a week ( long walks) but fall asleep before I can shed out of my workout clothes, AND I have nothing to show for it! I have not gained and everyone says my body is just adjusting and is about to start losing some major weight....uhhh, it's been 5 weeks! No weight loss really? And I just got started! What if I never lose weight? I'm so confused! My co workers try to be supportive by saying "I think I see it in your face". I don't believe them. I'm just so confused/angry/sad! Anybody out there not lose right away? How is this possible? I can only eat a few bites of anything!

5 wks out and stll in stall!
No More Shelly Belly replied to No More Shelly Belly's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks for the replays. I will try the hydro whey. I tried a protein shake again w very little powder and milk and got sent home bc I threw up all over my shirt at work. (This was yesterday) I'm embarrassed. I told everyone about my wls. Maybe I should have waited. People think I'm crazy bc other co workers are on diets and have passed me up. They are very smug that they could do it without surgery. I feel like a fool and I even question if the surgery even happened. -

Oh and pooping is never an issue! I keep track and I have never had to take anything. Things are moving along there! -

Oh and I drink my fluids plus more each day since I sweat when I think Im going to exercise. Now protein shakes don't agree with me. I have thrown up every brand listed and have spent a lot of money. I have donated all my shakes so I compensate by buying any foods high in protein. Yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, soups (I add unflavored protein to anything I can) ,
