I had bypass on 4/23/18. My starting weight was 340lbs. I'm currently 221lbs. That's a total weight loss of 119lbs! I honestly can't tell you a time I remember being this small my entire life. I'm so happy! First goal: 250lbs [emoji818] Second goal: 225lbs [emoji818] Third goal: 199lbs ...*pending* Final goal: 160-170lbs I never worked out until this month. These last 22lbs until onederland are stubborn. I'm also doing keto and intermittent fasting. This surgery changed my life. I'm almost positive I would be closer to 400lbs by now if I didn't have this surgery. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

340lbs to 227lbs! 8 months out. I'm hoping to be in onederland by my 1 year anniversary! (4/23) Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Long story short, I shaved my head due to MASSIVE hair loss after bypass. I was losing clumps of hair every day and had a very obvious bald spot. I bought a hair topper wig to cover it with but it only helped for 2 weeks before it no longer covered the growing baldness. So I said screw it.... and shaved my entire head! I feel empowered. It's something I've always wanted to do. I'm also 248lbs currently! My starting weight was 340lbs. Worth the hair loss Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I take pictures every first of the month. I shaved my head 9/1/18 Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

My hair started to grow back in literally immediately. It kinda pissed me off! For some reason when I had long hair all I did was lose it. I shave my head and BOOM growth. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I can't even tell where the losses were previously but it's probably because I shaved my entire head lol Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you everyone for your support and compliments! I'm not 100% a fan on my hair right now but it's coming along. I started losing my hair about 3-4 months after surgery. Honestly, it was my fault. I got sick after surgery and could barely eat. I didn't keep up with my protein and vitamins either. I lost a good portion of my hair within a month span. When I say I just a bald spot, I mean it was so bad that a top hair piece couldn't even cover it. I had no choice but to shave my head. I wore a wig at work and no one noticed. I hated these last 3 months but i'm happier now. Hair loss It'll be okay! Make sure you're keeping up with your vitamins, eating enough and getting in that protein!!! I was not.

Update on my hair growth! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm at 234lbs... I didn't lose anything in November and half way through December i'm only a pound down. I've been in a stall for a month and a half. Old eating habits are starting to creep back in & I'm scared. I think i'm going to reach out to a therapist & a nutritionist. I don't want this opportunity I've been given to go to waste. I'm a total of 106lbs down & that's amazing. I never thought I'd be this far! But i'm ready to lose more. I want to hit onderland! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I just reached 6 months 5 days ago and I'm 103lbs down. I went from 340lbs to 237! I'm proud but the weight loss has slowed down immensely. I need to start working out![emoji24] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I don't really experience hunger pains throughout the day. I eat because I have to. However, a new "symptom" appeared. If I don't eat after a certain amount of time my stomach starts to hurt until I do eat. It's the worst in the morning. I need to eat almost immediately when I wake up. Anyone else experience this?

Thank you everyone! It sucks that I lost a ton of hair but screw it, ya know?! I'm feeling good & felt like it was the best move for me! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm really digging it! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had surgery in April. It's been 4 months. I went from 340lbs to 255lbs, which is a total of 85lbs down. I'd rather have the weight loss than the hair anyways but... I just need a moment to mourn the loss of my hair! I'm literally pulling clumps out every day. Some people say they can't notice their hair loss. You can 100% notice mine. I hope it stops soon otherwise I won't have any hair left over! I'm going to buy a wig topper this weekend. Sighhh.... can't wait for regrowth. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I just bought a wig topper this week! It's really nice. Looks very natural and was about $180. I'm still losing a ton of hair but at least I have my confidence back... for now! I lose the most hair after washing it so i only wash it once a week. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

So, right after surgery my period came early. Now my period is like 2 weeks late. I have literally NEVER missed my period since getting it at the age of 12 (as much as I'd wish it would) My period is more reliable than any of the previous men in my life! Now... nothing. Happen to anyone else? Also, definitely 100% not pregnant due to the fact that i'm single af & not the random hookup type Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
