And have only lost 49lbs since my surgery and 59lbs from my highest weight in the beginning the weight was coming off fast but now I feel like I am only loosing about maybe 2-3 pounds a week.

And I am having a hard time getting all my recommended Protein . Protein powders make me sick to the stomach any ideas on what else I can drink to get my protein in?Help I need help

Boy I wish I was losing that much! I had my surgery 3/14 and have list 44 pounds total... But recently I've only been losing 1/2 pound each week if that...sadly I'm still 60 pounds from goal so it's going to be a long haul unless something drastically changes.

I did alot of walking in the beginning and I go to the gym 2 times a week now. I do alot of walking now too. Maybe You should up your activity.

So the Hair loss DOES stop at some point, right?? I've been losing so much these last few weeks and I really don't want to lose any more because I will end up bald! Lol.

Hey sleevie wonder, how are you going? My hair has just started to come out. I have lost tolerance to the shakes for about three weeks so I dont know if that is part of the reason. My chair at work was covered, I just brushed the Wookie off and put it in the bin before anyone could see, yuk. I am glad it is temporary.

Hi, I hear you there, I started noticing Hair loss about a week ago. :( I've heard it lasts about two months but I sure hope not or I'll be bald too.

My hair is thin, but I have (had) a lot of it. Now every time I get up from the computer or my beadwork table I'm cleaning up strands. Hope it slows down ... I've been pretty careful about my protein... But if it all falls out I'll get a couple of wigs. Hair loss is nothing compared to feeling so good.

Fingers crossed, my hair is hanging in there. I keep a short bob and I wonder if that may cause less stress on the follicles. I've always taken Biotin and I keep getting my 60 grams of Protein. I've got a little hair to spare, but I still keep an eye on the bottom of my shower.....

I've been getting 60-G protein since day 3 postop, take all my supplements, including biotin. I'm believing if it's gonna happen it will.....seems like I did everything possible & still happened :(

I've decided I'm going to cut mine short as well. Right now it's pretty long, at least halfway down my back and now that it's thinning out it doesn't look too good.

My haircut will be planned for when I reach 199lbs though! Gotta keep then goals going lol. ~30lbs to go. Hoping by August.

      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.
