Hi

My hair is falling so much I don't know what to do any help

Unfiortunately, it is common and tough to avoid I understand. But there are some things you can try to do to try to minimize it or help it grow back a bit faster.

How's your daily Protein intake? Are you taking Vitamins?

Recommend adding Biotin and zinc to Vitamin regimen.

Sleeved may 29th and have lost 57 pounds. Loving my sleeve. Eating a fairly normal diet now just no flour based products and rarely make it over 800 calories a day. Start weight 135.5 kilos, current weight 109.3 kilos.

Life is good.

Wearing a size 16 skirt today.

A good tip I picked up from a vsg member in my hospital support group is to eat a wee little bit every two hours or so - I have weeks where I have the hungry rumblies in the little sleeve - this really helps - babybel cheeses do wonders lol.

My surgery was 5/21 but I count my 8 weeks on Saturday which I will do on the 21st of every month.

HW: 318

SW: 274

CW: 238

Down 36 since surgery - lost 44 pre-surgery. But this info is always in my sig :)

Great job May sleevers!

I am 8 weeks today and down 20 lbs... Was down 23 lbs and gained 3 lbs back. Plus 15 of those lbs were in the first 3 weeks prior to my first stall. I make my Water and Protein goals 90% of the time. I am trying my best to not to get discouraged. Will the weight eventually move faster or will it always be this slow??

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
