    Girl you are right on track. And you are doing better than me! My highest ever was 313 lbs. Starting weight was 296.4 beginning of preop, I'm now 244 lbs. I had the vsg on aug 14...so 3.5 months ago...only lost 48 lbs....compared to you who lost 40 lbs in only 2 months. Great job! And now I'M jealous haha

    I guess but sometimes it definitely doesn't feel like. I was originally suppose to have my surgery August 16th but my insurance company dropped me because I graduated from college and they needed proof that I was going back to school full time.... Smh so my surgery got postponed by one month. You 're close to that 50 pound mark! That's all that matters lol people say they see the weight loss but I don't see it yet. I can definitely see the inches going down but that's it. I think I'm just being too hard on myself.

    I don't think you are failing...but we just have to work on being more patient. What are your stats?

    True..... it's hard but true! So I was sleeved on 9/20/2017. I was 299. So basically 300.... But definitely over 300 if I was full [emoji23]. Now I'm 260. I have had 2 stalls already were I didn't lose any weight for like 2 weeks

    Girl same! I am a month and a week post op and have been stalled for the past 2 weeks. I have lost 13 pounds since surgery on September 12. I am so discouraged because I honestly could have gotten this far without surgery, but I know that I am still healing and that the weight loss will continue. I have been fighting with the same 3 pounds since week 3!

    Girl same! I lost twenty pounds the first 2 weeks and these last 2 weeks I've been in a stall. I'm so scared I messed something up with my sleeve (but realistically I know I haven't). I'm trying to figure out how to get my body out of this funk and to restart the weightloss. I'm going to start going to the gym again and hope for the best...... fingers crossed!

    I had Hair loss and my hair got pretty thin, dry, brittle and had a lot of breakage. This happened even though I got plenty of Protein, took Vitamins, lab work was normal and I took Biotin. I tried tons of different shampoos, oils, and essential oils.
    What finally worked for me was I started taking powdered marine collagen mixed in my Water every day and I drank a cup of bamboo tea once or twice a day (bamboo tea is high in silica and is good for skin hair and nails). This combinations stopped the hair loss and my hair over a course of about two months got shinier and the breakage stopped.
    I am almost three years post op and my hair is back to normal. I occasionally drink bamboo tea just to help it out plus I like the taste.




    Thank you for the great advice!

    I'm 7 months out and it's bad. Like a hand full falls out everytime I shower. You can pretty much see bald spots on my head when I put my hair up in a ponytail. I pray that it will slow down here soon.

    Have you been using Biotin or hair gummies? When I was going natural I used Jamaican castor oil on my hair because it helps unite hair grow. If you do a oil treatment and massage unite scalp to stimulate out that may help! Let me know if these work for you!
