I'm nervous because I don't have problems with anything. I eat chicken' date=' beef and pork. Sweets don't bother me. It's odd.[/quote']

That's a blessing. I went from loving everything to full out aversions. I haven't tried alot of sweets so I don't know how that would work. chicken makes me ill thinking about it.

My hair comes out by handfuls too luckily I have very thick hair to begin with so I hope it doesn't get too bad ...I remember this also happened with the lapband for a while then just stopped falling out one day. ..I'm also getting acne which SUCKS ! I haven't had acne in years lol hope that doesn't last long either but as long as the weight keeps coming off I'll deal with acne and some hair falling out lol

Im the same way. I dont even want to try to eat some things because the thought of it makes me sick. I havent had any sweets as I am afraid of dumping since the Cereal incident! Dont know if its a good thing but I am content with the few things I eat and the weight is coming off. I only have cravings or really "feel" hunger every once in awhile.

I can eat anything...never had dumping! Wish i did since that was my main reason for choosing RNY over the Sleeve! Dori...my primary care doctor said there is nothing that will stop the Hair loss. It has to run it's course. She re-assured me that it will grow back. Just found out I'm post menopausal also (explains the sweating episodes) and that will cause hair loss also. I'm going to invest in a few cute hats so i don't have to look at this mess on my head :/

Dumping was my deciding factor for rny too! It helps to know that if I eat something bad, there may be consequences! ;) I am glad to hear that the hair will grow back! Im sure that doesnt help right now though when you are going through it. I keep waiting and waiting for mine to start coming out. ; ( Hang in there my friend.

Yeah I know that I've done all I was told about measures to try to prevent/decrease hair loss. Guess it's just gonna happen. I hope it does stop eventually and I know I complain about it but I guess overall I'd shave my head bald if it

Meant my losing the weight. The acne now..it's scars I'm afraid of. These little pimples hurt too.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
