6 months out need info!

[mbissi 1]

I'm 6 months out from my surgery. My weight has stalled for the past 3 weeks. I started working out doing kickboxing 3x a week for the last 2 wks. My hair is also falling out in clumps! Anyone else that is 6 months out or more, can u post how many calories you are taking in and what your experience was with this????

I'll be 6 months out on the 27th and honestly, I'm having the same issue. I have been playing around with the same 4 pounds (up and down, up and down) for the past month. My hair is also thinning.

So frustrating. My calories are anywhere between 900 and 1200 and my Protein is between 80-100. I mostly walk and walk and walk for exercise and some yoga and weights.

I'm 6 months as well - my hair started falling out at 2 months and is starting to slow down now. Yes, it comes out in clumps. I can see new growth (my doc approved Biotin and Folic Acid; I also use Nioxcin shampoo).

For the stall - if you haven't experienced a stall yet, consider yourself lucky. I have lost 3.5 pounds in the past 8 weeks. Talk about frustrating...HOWEVER, I'm taking my measurements and the numbers are coming down. I'm exercising and building muscle, I can see it.

As far as calories, I'm doing 1000-1200 per day. I've started drinking shakes again, at least one per day, at my doctor's suggestion.

I love the hair, skin and nails Vitamins by ItWorks. Lots of Biotin and vitamins and all natural. Had to stop them for surgery but will start them again as soon as I can. Someone just told me today that my hair and skin looks great and she didnt know I had been taking the vitamins. I also Shampoo with nioxin.

Most of us have the Hair loss thing. Just one of the inconveniences of WLS. But, when you have reached your goal weight and you are healthy and in control of your eating habits and enjoying a much better quality of life, you will barely remember this grrrrrr hair loss! It's a little different for everyone, but YES, it does stop falling out. I think generally, most people by one year have most of their Hair growth back (or coming back). Hang in there, be patient, it's still all worth it. . .
