Need post-op advice hsir loss & fatigue



Recommended Posts

Hello post-ops!! Congrats to everyone!! Keep up the great job!! I'm a November 24, 2013 WLS. Seeking advise on what worked for you, did you get weak/fatigue and Hair loss, Any suggestions!? My progress: WLS 11/14/13 5'7 Female 47yrs old. HW 268 size tight 20 SW 266 size 18 CW 233 size 14 GW 165 I'm averaging 2 lbs per week, no exercise due to knee injury/pain. Doctor is happy with my progress. I am too, my battle is to have enough energy to function upon getting up to get ready to drive to work and get through the day. Issues I've been experiencing feeling tired, fatigue and exhausted. I eat all my water/ meals/proteins/vitamins/biotin/omega fish oil and average 600 to 900 calories daily, try to eat more to get energy levels up, helps some days. I'm 3 months as of Friday 2/14/14 and I've started losing globs of hair especially after I Shampoo. So I'm washing every other day. I was expecting this may happen, but so emotionally distressing and nerve wrecking to see it come out so much so quickly. I'm totally freaked out. Praying it slows down soon. Anyone else feeling exhausted and losing your hair?? When goes the hair loss stop?? Is it growing back??! How long did it take??

Congratulations on such a great success.

I have no recommendations on fatigue because I din't really experience that. Plus I had the benefit of taking 3 months off after surgery.

I DID have hair loss. A lot but I started with a lot. My Doctor recommended Biotin supplements. I don't know about timing but it did stop within a couple of months and it has all grown back. Although it seems to have more curl in it.

Keep the faith, and doing the work. It all gets better and better and better. Until one day soon. WOW you are going to feel sooo good and look sooo good.
