Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

My hair has been coming out for about a month, I'll be 3 months out on the 13th. It's horrible how much hair comes out when I wash it. Going out tonight and have no idea how I'm going to do my hair so I don't look bald :(

my nut explained it as not fallen out. when the body is missing nutrients it pulls from everywhere. our body says it dont need hair so to perserve whats important it will stop the hair from growing and your daily strands of loss you usually lose seem like more because there is no hair growing and the hair will appear thinner, ihope i explained it correctly.i am 3 months out i get in all my protien and i take the top baratric Vitamins and no Hair loss yet, no more than the usual daily shedding.

ok the scale is moving again i think. my home scale 2 days ago said 242 but the drs scale said 243 244ish. so i got on my scale when i got home and moved around on it lol. and it seems if i lean foward it gives me thier number but if i fall back a little its mines so i did both lol, and either way its down dang it. lol so the 243 is now 241 and the 242 is 240, i know crazy right?

I know it's confusing. I use the one at home because I know when I go to the Doctor or Nut that I'm going to weigh more due to clothes, food and liquids.

The bathroom scale is a in the morning in the buff body reading. Lol!!!

Newgrandmother did your nut say when it would regrowing? I try to get all my Protein in but averaging 60 grams a day but I'm suppose to have 90. When I washed my hair about 30 strands came out from the root each time I squeezed the Water out. This is so frustrating and I just want to give up on everything. I didn't think I would be yo-yo dieting after having surgery. I have gained 5 pounds this week and its not that time of the month. Ugh!

@ newgrandmother.....way to go girl on losing the weight.

I think the Hair loss is either gonna happen or not but if we stick to eating our Protein I think our bodies will replace the hair that is lost.

NGM - Way to go!!!!

I went shopping today for new jeans and am a bit disappointed. 18's are too big and 16's are just a little bit too small....... Guess I'll need to wear baggy jeans for another couple of weeks.

Oh well at least I'm losing and I'm good with that!

NGM- buy the 16's anyway. Jeans today are so stretchy. They will be tight when you first put them on but they will stretch.

I got I to my first pair of 14's and yes.... I was so doing the happy dance!!!!

I haven't seen that size in over 20 years.

      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.
