Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[N/A 96]

Hair loss as well for over two months. Think it's starting to lessen.

Currently 75 lbs lost. 29 to go for goal. Pants size around 14/12. Tops are large to medium.

Next dr appt is 4/11/13. He wants me at 150 at that appt. (Will be six months post op 3/19/13.)

becca say it aint so. we are both at 6 months with no Hair loss, do that mean it could happen to me right now? omg

green love love the new pic. my nut put me on a 1200 cal plan soon as i was on solid food. excuse me 1200 or more lol. anyway i barely get that in some days i get up to over 1200 but that means i ate something i was not suppose to. my nut also said just eat balanced meals while in losing faze. its so hard to balance because i look out for sodium. if i get in all the cals i got to much sodium if i get in to little carbs not enough calories. now im working out at least 5 days a week so i need to increase to see results. sighhhhhhhhhhh

My Hair loss was from month 2 to 5...and its now a normal loss where i find a few hairs in the shower and on my hair brush etc. It SUCKED though for two of the 3 months and it was very depressing lol Now i have a ton of little hairs growing in and i think overall i lost about 1/3 of my hair but it was only noticeable to myself so once i got used to the hair loss it wasn't bad. Hang in there it DOES get better!

Also as far as calories go i eat 1000 to 1200 a day. Some days it might be on the higher end and some i might not make 1000. I see my NUT and Dr for my 6 month follow up this Wednesday so ill find out what she says.

I dont know my body fat but i would like to know actually. I have a WW scale and i believe it will tell me my body fat, Water percentage etc. Ill have to check that out. I am 5'7 and had surgery at 256 about there so id be happy at 35% body fat lol

Sadly' date=' it's Hair loss time for me.... Can't stand it.

I'm almost 6 mo this out. I eat lots of Protein and take all the Vitamins. I guess there is nothing to so but endure it. I read that it's due to just loosing weight. The drop in nutrition / calories is what starts the process.

I will see my Doct later this month an will ask about how many calories we should be eating to continue weight loss but minimize loss of nutrition.

Just wanted to know if any of you have had this discussion with your surgeon or NUT???

I currently eat about 800 cal a day.[/quote']

Yea had the discussion and his answer was it will eventually slow down and the hair will grow back. I too will be 6 months out on the 10th and am shedding every day!!

[newgrandmother 725]

green thanks. well i have an ear infection and my throat is fine. how is that possible but my ear do hurt now and its clogged ouch

[greenfamily004 172]

Time for real talk.... Hope this isn't TMI.

I'm not going..... Ugggh!!!

I know I don't eat enough veggies but by the time I fit Protein in there's not room for much more.

I can go over a week without going. That's just not healthy. Ive taken Milk of magnesia and Mirilax. It will eventually happen with the aid of a chemical product but I hate that I have to take them do what should come natural.

I even thought that maybe I'm eating too much Greek Yogurt???? (Lots of protein in that stuff)

Is anyone else having this issue????
