Hair is seriously shedding!!!

Hey Chilo, what Protein shake are you taking...I have been thinking about using them as a snack to see if they help my weight loss... I occasionally have a Protein Bar for brekkie but I am reluctant to buy the powder in case I don't like it cos it is really expensive!

Tiff, I can see the difference you mentioned with your hair, but to be honest, the dramatic weight loss overshadows it completely... I showed my husband the pics and he didn't even notice that your hair was fine, just said 'Bloody hell, where did she go?'

So I guess the moral of the story is that, those who know you/us will be drawn to the weight loss not the Hair loss and those who don't know us will just think we have fine hair... everyones a winner...

Hey Coops! I use either build up from nestle or complan (boots) they are cheapish and cost around 4 or 5 pounds i think, and come in a box of 5 sachets. I like the chocolate and vanilla, what I do is I make like a milkshake, blend with coffee, skimmed milk, and I bought a sugar free hazelnut Syrup from starbucks and 1/2 or a whole sachet of the Protein Powder. I bought a strawberry one sculptress which came in a huge container, was expensice (about £17 1/2 price at the time) but i hate it!!

Nice one... I noticed your ticker had gone down again... how did it go? What did he say? I bet he was chuffed with your progress.

I'm still in limbo... lost a pound last week, will offically weigh in the morning but I think it is aound this week too...*boo hoo* So since the pnuemonia I have managed to get rid of 6-7lb... I know I haven't done as much exercise but I have been doing some and I am a little disheartened... but I ain't beating myself up like I did a couple of weeks ago!! It has been hard work to be honest, but without the sleeve I would have put a lot of weight on... so that is a bonus!! =]

Hmm I'm a bit scared about the Hair loss. I have fine, thin hair as it is. I don't think I'd look good with no hair. I guess I'll cross that bridge when it gets there and hope for the best.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
