FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved



Recommended Posts

I talked to the surgeon & the nut' date=' they both said this is normal. Keep your Protein high which will help it slow down, but to expect the Hair loss until you stop losing. I am going to get my hair cut shorter to help with the regrowth.[/quote']

I'm also losing a lot of hair, check o you tube for natural hair regrowth treatment. I started using onions and apple cider vinegar so far I see new regrowth it stinks but worth it. Check it out!

I can't read what you write unless I highlight it. Maybe it's the color font you have chosen

Psychologically, I'm at the worst stall ever!!!! Been weighing in between 201-202 for a week! Why can't I just hit ONEderland already???

Technically I don't even think it's a stall, it's just torture! Lol

Weight loss -wise I'm doing great!

SW: 264

CW:201-202

Surgery 2-12-13!!!

And just discovered that edamame is one of my slider foods... *sarcastic* woo!

I love reading everyone's progress!! Keep it up!!

Start weight 228

Surgery weight 216

Today's weight 178

Total of 50 pounds in 3 1/2 months

The only problem is I'm losing too much hair. I'm drinking/ eating all my Protein and Vitamins. Also taking 10,000 Mg of Biotin. Not sure why my hair is falling out so much. I'm so afraid of being bald. However I'm very happy with the weight loss. I'm 27 pounds to my goal. I am able to eat everything I desire so far, minus eggs. I can eat eggs but my sleeve doesn't really like it so I'm staying away from it. I can use some advice on the Hair loss, Pls...

When we lose enough protein in our diet to lose our hair it takes 3-4 months for us to lose hair. So the hair you are losing now (myself included) is probably from around the time of our surgery. Keep doing what you are doing and be mindful it will take a few months to notice the diffence.

5'2 1/2"

Weight day of surgery: 183 (I didn't do the post op diet)

Surgery date: 2/28/13

Current Weight: 138

I have had a little bit of Hair loss but then again, I have always had thin hair. I have been excercising since 6 weeks after my surgery date. I feel GREAT. I have annoyed my family by telling them my weight every time my weight goes down. It's so exciting I want to tell every stranger I see out in the street. I have to admit, I haven't followed a specific diet. Whatever i want, I eat although it is just a bite or two.

I enjoy reading everyones progress. Congrats to everyone!

      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.
