Feeling so hungry for the past 3 days. It scares the **** out of me. And it seems like I can eat more at one sitting.

My god I hope this is temporary. :(

Yes I hate that ive been like that too nd it is really scary afraid of the weight gain....

My hair has been thinning' date=' but it seems to have slowed down a bit. I've been taking Vitamin B12 & started Biotin. I hope it's working and that my hair will grow back and get thick again. A friend of mine who had three surgery two years ago said her hair stopped falling out and grew back. It took awhile. I'll ask her how long.

I am the same 5'3" and my doctor said 150. I really want to be in the healthy range of 130. My neighbor had bypass and says that she struggles to stay above 140 so I'm hoping I have that "problem". The bad thing is she has lost so much hair. I haven't seen her in a while so I'm not sure how she is now. I'm very scared about that. Everytime I wash my hair I am worrying about hairloss. Have any of you noticed Hair loss? Is it ok to die your hair after surgery?

I didn't know my natural hair color because I've been highlighting it since I was 16 so I died my hair dark brown before surgery trying to match my eyebrows. It turns out my natural hair color was actually dirty blonde so now I have light roots with dark brown hair. It looks so weird' date=' but I'd rather have weird hair color that no hair at all LOL!!

Good luck ladies!! I'm counting down the days till I get below 230. I've been stuck in the 230s for about 2 weeks now.[/quote']

I'm kind of stuck, too. I so want to get below 200, but it seems so slow & I'm stuck at 235. It's annoying. I'm trying to stay positive.

I have been coloring my hair. It seems fine. I added Vitamin e, too. That helps too I think. Consistency is the key.

Hang in there!

I started Biotin just in case too. I finally broke out of 230s but just barely. I'm at 227 and I feel like I'm eating next to nothing and no carbs at all. How are you doing?

Biotin is a Protein that is supposed to promote hair growth. My dietitian recommended it. I get the chewable kind so it's easily absorbed.

      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.
