Good luck!! You got it figured out more than most of us who already had the surgery haha. I hope it goes well!! -
Vitamins for stopping hair loss. Yes or no?
qtdoll replied to happynewbie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was taking 100% of the vitamins I needed to take, taking Finasteride, getting my full protein intake & I still dealt with hair loss around the 3rd month. It's nearly unavoidable. -

Struggling to envision weight loss
qtdoll replied to mcipanda's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
YES I fully understand this. I was in the 160's in middle school & I now weigh in the 140's. It's insane to think I'm now smaller than I was as a CHILD! -
Is anyone struggling mentally after the first few months?
qtdoll replied to Heathernyc's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have not seen the majority of my family since early 2022 & 100+lbs ago & I am SO nervous about this exact thing. I just know they're going to make a huge deal about it, be dramatic, ask endless amounts of questions & I'm not ready. I wish everyone would act like everything is normal but I know that's not gonna be the case -

"Incentive shopping" and body dysmorphia
qtdoll replied to Jillian K8's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Wow what a bummer! Especially from Target, I definitely wouldn't spend the $70 on that as there's a chance you will only fit in those for WEEKS. It's a cool idea but definitely go cheap! I used to wear 3/4x clothes, bought 1x to enjoy my weight loss & left it behind in 2 months. I'm now down to Mediums & regret spending that $$ on the XL's! -
Wow that's rough. I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you recover soon 💜
-
WOW I'm glad tho things ended up working out for you! You lived through a wild ride. Congrats!
-
I started working out after the 3rd month. With how little I was eating, I simply did not have the energy to do anything more than walking. Stick to walking until you feel you have all your energy back!
-
Hope your recovery is going well!

Anyone else lose so much you ended up with Neck Waddle
qtdoll replied to jenforr108's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah I got it. I dislike it but when I wear my hair down I've been enjoying hiding it with face-lift tape! -
PROTIEN BARS AND YOUR PLAN
qtdoll replied to heatherdbby's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yeah that's definitely unique. I personally had trouble eating protein bars for a few months (3months) so hopefully that goes well! -
When will I see results?
qtdoll replied to CathyMol's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely be patient!! My highest weight was 295 & no one really noticed till I was down to 190. That's also when I finally started buying new clothes. It will take time but you will DEFINITELY see the results physically too! -
Gastric Sleeve on 3-30-23
qtdoll replied to emilee925's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations!!! & Don't over buy! Tastebuds changing after surgery is so common & you don't want to stock up on something you might end up hating later 😊 -
Nervous after kidnapping
qtdoll replied to Blossoming1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I mean, I understand where you're coming from & the ultimately the final decision is up to you. However, I'd never shop at any Walmart again if I based all of my decisions based on what I see on the news lol If you truly do not feel comfortable going anymore, I would look for a facility in the US. Chances are you WILL be fine, but the news only amplifies anxiety more. -
California!

One appointment left before scheduling surgery
qtdoll replied to Mrs. Stewart 2023's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Become as well versed on your post op vitamins as you can. I find that many people become confused about that! -
I hope all is well now!
-
Oh yes absolutely. Protein shakes & bars are lifesaving on those days. Especially busy days, I just can't be bothered

Is anyone's spouse against WLS?
qtdoll replied to MrsGreen's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Keep at it. People will never truly understand what goes into this until they see all of your hard work first hand. He will come around! -
Yes you absolutely can!
