4 months post-op - stall and hair loss.....urrrgh



Recommended Posts

I am 4 months post-op and I was doing awesome up to the 3 month point....I lost 62 lbs...but have not lost another pound in the last month. I know stalls happen but I am very annoyed right now and needed to vent. Not to mention I am really losing alot of hair. I also heard this was normal but I am really starting to get concerned about the amount I lose each morning. I guess it's a good thing I had alot to begin with because if I didn't I think I would be bald by now! I am really not complaining because I really do love my new 'life style' and I feel great but I have another 85 more pounds to go and I don't want to waste any time getting there and a stall for 4 weeks is really annoying.

Anyone else stall around the 3-4 month mark and are you losing alot of hair?

I did and met with my nutritionist. Turns out I wasn't getting enough Protein. I was sticking with soft carbs because it was easier and didn't hurt. I started taking juice plus Vitamins and writing down my Proteins and I am better now. Even my hairdresser noticed. Try writing down what you eat to see if you are getting enough Protein and make site you have Vitamins too.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
