15 Weeks Out Gastric Sleeve Surgery....

[iiPinkxLoveii 0]

Hello everyone,

I am almost 15 Weeks out of having my VSG and I'm happy because I have lost in almost 4 months 60 lbs, but I am also paranoid. I feel like I have stretched put my baby tummy because Ican eat a little but more than what I used to and I can eat a little faster. Is this normal? I would sure hate to find out if I have stretched my tummy out even though I don't eat like I used to. I am also a little blue because I feel like I have hit another stall. For 3 weeks I have not lost but 3 lbs. I'm trying not bring myself down too much because I know I have lost weight but I guess I just feel scared that I will gain that weight back and this surgery would be another fail on my life. Anyone out there at 4 months experiencing similar things?

I also have another question. Hair loss has me going bananas! I know it's normal to lose hair but I dwell with all the hair I'm losing I'm gonna end up going bald. When does it stop?

Hello,

My surgery date was 8/3/11..I have been feeling exactly the same...My hair is falling out at a rapid speed .If my doctor didn't warn me about it I be freaking out more than I,ve been ..I have noticed I can eat more than before and thats been freaking me out..I'm so afraid the weight will come back after this first year.. My weight lose is 53 lbs..I was at a stall for like 3 weeks..but it just started to come off again..I was thinking that was it..,And i don't want to be a failure ..I don't think were any different than each other..It must be the phase were in..Keep in touch

Hello Barbara,

Thanks for your reply. It's sad to experience what we are experiencing but I'm glad I'm not alone. How much more are you about to eat? And drink? I used to be able to take sips only before but more I can swallow 2 normal sips without feeling like it's gonna come out. I am also able to eat maybe a cup now compared to the 4 Oz I was able to eat after surgery. I just hope

this tummy doesn't stretch out much. I'm trying so hard not to let that happen. The hair issue, I'm just trying not to stress about it. I just hope I don't end up with bald spots lol

Thanks again for your reply and keep in touch as well. Best of luck to you on your journey!
