I told you all that I did go to the salon to get my hair cut. I already have fine hair. She cut off all the yuck and added some layers. Now don't get me wrong, it is thin -- for now. But it is sooooo much healthier. And I haven't noticed nearly as much loss in the shower. Or when I style. I am using cooler temps to dry and style. Basically babying my hair. But it is better. Keeping up the Protein and Vitamins and supplements and praying that it will bounce back here in a few months -- around that 8, 9, or 10 month mark that everyone is talking about. Hoping for 8 :D

I use an over the counter chewable gum mid type Vitamin, peach flavored and very tasty! I also take Calcium, B12, b1, Biotin and zink. All over the counter but good brands. On my labs I was. Low on b1 so the doc and nut told me to take that. Also added chewable Fiber gummies to help with the Constipation issue!

I'm getting too much Calcium, my doc told me to stop taking the calcium citrate about 3 months ago. This month my blood work showed I still have too much calcium, so they are doing a thyroid test next week. I'm not sure how they are connected but my family doc and surgeon both agree that I should get this scan to check it out.

Hello everyone. So I am a little sad because my hair keeps falling out a lot!!! I am in another stall again!!!! I have decided to go back to the basics like when I came home from the hospital after surgery. I also have to get my mind back in the game. A lot if training at work so that has been throwing me off my game!!!! And again the hair thing is really bothering me!!! Congrats to everyone and keep up the great work!!!

Hi there for me, my hair is also falling out. We just have to hold on to the fact from others that we won't go bald and it will grow back! Follow the food plan, take our Vitamins and keep our eye on the prize!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
