Still losing slowly. Idc, as long as it doesn't stop or reverse!

[Oliver's Mom 258]

I am still losing s l o w l y too!! Then this am when I weighed myself - I had lost a pound overnight. I am just keeping along the path, exercising regularly (6-9 times per week), following my food plan, keeping the Water & Protein going in. I just figure it will come off at the rate my body determines.

Surgery on 12-6-12, down 58 lbs., but hardly eating. I can't seem to get more than 1 to 1 1/2 ounces a meal in.... Frustrated!

I seem to have a small sleeve too. It is getting better. My surgeon promises that at a year I will be grateful. The hardest thing for me is getting fluids in. I'm allowed to drink 45 min after eating. But the reality is that I can't drink for almost 2 hours after eating due to fullness. I run out of hours in the day to get all my Protein in and still not much more than 48 oz of Water.

The bad news is that my hair really started falling out at 3 months. I started taking Biotin twice daily but feel I am already behind. I had thin hair to start with. I hope it doesn't get too bad.

NSV. I got some new (smaller) bras. Looked great with a large size sweater today and jeans. My birthday is Monday and my goal is 195. Today I was 196 so I think it might just happen!

i was sleeved dec 8 and it seems this past month that i can hardly eat anything!just a few bites of whatever...doesnt matter what it is ...and i feel a heavy fullness in my upper tummy. it really discourages me to try and eat again ltr in the day . i used to be a huge fan of the premeier Protein Shake , but find it a struggle to even drink them . is is possible our tummys shrink even more. it seems up until this past month i could eat about anything ...like a lg quantity ...and now , im lucky to get a few ounces in !!!!My 20 month old grandaughter seriously is eating more than i am ! lol ! Anyone else have this problem?

Could you have a blockage?

[Sadlers1999 169]

I didn't start to lose my hair until I decreased my Protein about 3 weeks ago. I asked my nutritionist about it and she said hair was pure protein and my body was revolting because it was not getting enough. Not sure if that is why' date=' but good information.[/quote']

My NUT said that regardless of what we eat/vitamins we take, we are ALL bound to lose some hair..usually between 4 and 6 months post op. the only thing we can do is try to get the hair to regrow in a healthy manner by eating right and getting our Vitamins. Hair loss is related to the surgery and the shock to all our systems immediately post op. some people are luckier than others with regard to the amount of loss and length of loss, but I think this may be a function of age and health outside of our being obese when we had surgery. For example, my hair has been much thinner since becoming hypothyroid 10 years ago. I take medicine for the hypothyroidism, but it doesn't help my hair. So, regardless of how much protein I eat, I didn't have great hair to begin with. I take the Biotin in the hope it will help a little.

We have a similar trajectory. Surgery day I was about 10 lbs lighter and I am about that now with our current weights. The only serious times that I stall are during my periods. Probably Water retention.

I think you should ask your doctor. I eat about the same amount as my 2 1/2 year old. What is concerning is that you used to be able to drink that Protein shake and now you can't.
