I am also losing my hair in handfuls! I had tons of hair so I don't notice it yet, just when I shower and pull out all the stands but I am going to add a second Protein Shake to my day and see if that helps. Doc is running blood work to see what Vitamins I am low in too. Any ideas? Any sept sleevers seeing Hair loss yet?

Surgery was 9/10. Total lost (including from pre-op diet) is 47. Not any Hair loss yet - some breakage but I think that's just from coloring, heat styling, etc. I'm getting about 60 gr protein/day without fail and 64 oz fluids without any problem.

Unfortunately, I seem to be able to eat more than just a few bites and I do feel "real" hunger (it's NOT NOT NOT head hunger - even my doc agrees after i spoke with him - it may or may not ever change - BIG disappointment there!!!).

Did well last week. Had just one bite of several things for Thanksgiving dinner and that was it - lost 3.4 pounds so I'm pretty happy about that!

Surgery on 9/13/12 and I've lost 30 lbs since surgery making it a total of 50 lbs total.. went from a size 3xl top and 18 pants to a med top and 9/10 pants. Putting me 30 lbs from goal weight.

But the biggest achievement is my diabetes is in remission. Yay!

9/21 surgery weight 286 and today 246. I see everyone dropping sizes, but I haven't really yet. All my clothes are big on me. My jeans (18 ) I can pull on and off without unbuttoning or unzipping but 16 is still too snug. I just want to drop a size!

Hey fellow Sept sleeves...I was sleeved on 9/12/12 and I am down 47 lbs and I feel great. The only problem is I 'm starting to feel comfortable withy sleeve. Sometimes when i eat my thin crackers I may drink right after a few sips with no problem. I also have had a few sweets. Buy other than that I'm doing good.

Now I have to start working out to help with losing the weight and toning up.

P.s. if anyone haven't tried Emily bites you should. I am hooked. I have tried the lasagna and taco, with my little twist , and they are great!!!

Honestly I'm not going to give the best advice... But I had surgery 9/7.. I'm down a total of 70 lbs... 20 pre op, 50 post op. I eat what I want, when I want, obviously not like complete crap, but I pick high Protein and make sure I get it all. But if I want pizza, I eat pizza. If I want some crackers, I have some crackers. I get all my Water in, I feel like that's the secret. Good luck! Add more calories in.. When I stall... I eat more... Sounds crazy, but it works!

      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.
