Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[Nick'sMom 54]

Has anyone noticed an increase in hair shedding yet? Its starting to freak me out even though only i notice it. I will admit I am vain about my hair haha

Yes! I hate it. I've uped my Biotin and have also read that extra Iron can help. But then I read other sites that say nothing helps, your body just has to adjust. So frustrating!

Not yet. How far out are you?

I was sleeved on 9/5...i guess maybe im just more aware of the natural shedding as i never psid attention before lol

I have heard there isnt much you can do either...i take extra Biotin to help the other hair stay healthy and grow faster lol hopefully it wont b noticable to others.

I am noticing extra Hair loss as well. I was sleeved 9/24. I am trying not to be overly paranoid but I swear my hair is thinner and I can see my scalp more. I was told the Protein helps. Every doctor is different so I dont know what really helps.

My hair is coming out by the handful, I try to get all my Protein in but it's not helping. I heard it only lasts a couple months so hopefully I'll still have some hair left.

That is AWESOME!!! I was sleeved the day before you but have only lost 30 pounds. But I have not gotten on the exercise bandwagon yet which I am positive has a huge part in my slow weight loss. Hope to get that extra energy and motivation soon. Life is getting in the way with school, work, and kids....sigh

Trust me when I say you will feel motivated when the lbs start flying off!!

I started simple-just a 20 minute walk with the dogs and kids. Then I kept feeling like I had more and more energy. Now I walk about 6 miles a day and weights 4 days a week.

I also take Coenzyme Q10 for energy production that my surgeon recommended. On the days I've forgotten it I have totally noticed.

Keep up the good work. Just think-in our "old life" we would have said" OMG-I lost 30 lbs" so be excited about your accomplishment!!!

Darn it - I'm in a stall Stuck at 40 pounds lost. Going to up my calories a tiny bit and increase my walking a bunch. Cuz it's no fun if the scale isn't moving DOWN!

Surgery was 9/10 - hair shed is the same as usual so that's good.......

My surgery was 9/6. I started noticing more hair loss this week. I was washing it and looked at my hand... it was covered in hair. I have enough hair for 10 people so I am sure it won't be noticable to anyone but me.

Our church has a turkey dinner every year. My husband went and got a to go meal for himself. I just plucked off a little bit of turkey, mashed potatoes and dressing. (tiny bit of the carby stuff). It was so delicious and I was so satisfied! I said to him... "I love my sleeve and the Holiday's are going to be a piece of cake for me this year. I won't over eat and will lose"

Lovin my sleeve....
