I haven't really had any hair loss either. I'm only 5 months post-op but I've been told this is when it usually happens. Maybe it's because I have thin hair already and my body doesn't want to traumatize me any more on that front 😅🤣. I've hit a plateau but its my own fault because with the stress of the holidays and my family schedule, I haven't been in the gym nearly as much as I should be. I plan on remedying that soon.

Thanks for those words cmackpmp. I am still too hard on myself. Everyone else sees my weight loss except me. I would definitely rather my skin had more time to tighten up. I feel better. Thanks for making my Friday better 😍

Good for you! I feel like a loser now only losing about 60 lbs so far and I had my surgery the day before you lol. Owell, everyone is different. Whatever you're doing, keep it up! Just don't forget to eat

I had that between 5-7 weeks I think. I don't have it now and I am just short of 4 months post-op RNY. 75 lbs!! That's awesome, good for you! I'm stalled right now. I don't think I'm eating enough, and I need to up my gym-game.

I believe the weight comes off as safely as it can. It was never about the weight going away for me, it was the Diabetes going away, and I'm still working on that one. I'm only down 45 lbs since surgery so we are almost the same. Keep on truckin'!!

Thanks everyone for the helpful info. Since posting this I have added Weight Control, Low Sugar Oatmeal to my breakfast regimen and it's keeping me cleaned out YAY! Still working on trying other foods, protein moreso. Had a horrible experience with a blockage 3 weeks ago and thought I was dying so I have become very leery of eating too much of ANYTHING. I go back for my 3-month check up next week so we shall see what they say.

I was never a big caffeine drinker per-se. It wasn't hard to switch to decaf in the morning, but what I miss is my Diet Snapple with peach. I dilute EVERYTHING I drink, before surgery and after. I just want a little lick lol

I most definitely need to start incorporating fiber for sure. But my dietitian has told me to stay away from tea, or anything with caffeine. But then she contradicted herself by saying, "but if you are one of those people that needs caffeine in the morning to get up and go, you can have it". So, is tea bad for you or not? I mean, all tea has caffeine in it. I also pour some powdered stool softener in my decaf coffee in the mornings to see if it helps.

Bellasoo, I don't see my progress. I'm down almost 50 lbs and I still see the old me, before surgery. Yeah I can wear different clothes, but it doesn't quite sink in. My friends think they have to put me in therapy lol.

Hi there cmackpmp. I stalled right around 7 weeks I think, and it last just a little over a week. I really don't think about food and that was probably my problem before. I eat when I think I'm hungry. I do love my protein shakes (wal-mart brand of Premier rocks) and I love baby meats. I find that some Progresso soups do good as well. I'm struggling finding meals I can cook for the whole family that I can eat. Until I do I will cook separate things for everyone. I'm almost down 50 lbs but I need to up my gym game that's for sure. I use my Fitbit Versa to watch my resting heart rate more than anything. Dealing with constipation now and not sure what its coming from lol.

I had my GB on July 17th...would love to connect.

Had my gastric bypass surgery on July 17th, how are you doing?

I'm just short of being 3-months post-op and the last week I have been getting extremely constipated. Anyone else have this problem? Or have had this? Is 3 months to soon to eat things like Cheerios? I am trying to figure out what is causing it. For the most part I don't think I even exceed 600 calories a day and its mostly still soft foods. And I seem to have become intolerant to eggs, yay me.
