My hair started falling out last month really bad and I started eating more protein...got a shorter cut and its doing alot better.

I feel so much better. Today I ran up two flights of stairs and back down and wasn't out of breath. :) My husband thinks I look sick and likes the first picture I refer to as the fat pic. :( I don't know what to do to make him see how much happier I am. I couldn't get attention from him fat and now I find out he likes me better that way. UGH. I'm not going back !

Don't worry he will adjust. It's just shocking to the people around you. I bet new people don't think you look sick.

Amazing. Well, my DH did not always think I looked great during the losing phase either.

But I do have to say...are you following your surgeon's diet plan. You are consuming way to little calories at this point and this will make you look (and feel) sickly. Sounds like your body could be in starvation mode with such few calories. Those who are not sleeved will not understand this...but EAT to live healthy. We all had VSG to lose weight but more importantly to be healthy.

So, eat to survive no matter if you do or don't feel like it. My hair (even with high protien & Biotin) fell out too for about three months. Stopped and then started growing back. Today I probably have thicker hair than before.

Your husband is only concerned. He may be frightened of who you are becoming. Really sit down and talk to him to see what his real concerns are and help him out. You are morphing into a new lady. Congrats!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. My husband is overweight but nothing like me. He is 6'7 about 260#.

What I eat is always on the go. Its usually whatever i can throw in the microwave or eat on my way to work.

I wish they gave classes on cooking and eating after the surgery .

      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.
