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

I read that Silica Complex by Puritans Pride really works?? Here is the link for the article I read. Actually the whole website has some good infor for post gastric bypass. ;)

I really think I am able to eat more than I should be. I had a bit of steak, some veggies, 2 small pieces of sushi and a bite of rice. I shouldn't be able to eat this much at less than 4 mo out!! I do miss those days I could barely handle a tbsp or 2!!! This totally scares me! I've gotta be able to reign this in cause I'm scared!

Perhaps you should start measuring again to get a more specific idea of exactly how much you really are eating. I quit for a while and then restarted only to discover I was WAY overestimating my Protein serving sizes but was fairly close on other foods. So I wasn't getting as much protein or as many calories as I thought. Sigh. This can be a pain in the butt!

I'm seriously gonna have to do something. I was out at a hibachi place and I was shocked when I realized what I wolfed down. I'm not even sick really. Had a bit of the foamies. Crazy and scary. I feel embarrassed and ashamed!!

      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.
