Am crying so hard. I can't deal with this Hair loss. I'll be bald in a month if this keeps up. Aaaaaahhhh!!! My scalp literally hurts.

I am so with you, mone was so stringy, I had lost about half my hair. I cut mine off today, feel pretty good about it, glad I own some hats.

@@layknee its okay baby it will grow back. When I was going through my depression, I went a month without combing or washing my hair and when I finally combed it, I kid you not I lost about half the hair on my head. I chopped it off before surgery because I wanted it to grow along with my weight loss, now its grown but it is way thinner. My mom says I'm lucky I had a lot of hair to begin with but now its just thin and I'm like whatever. Today I had 65 percent of a snack wrap and I kind of dumped but it was worth it, I'm trying to eat more because I need energy to start working. I also had beef again and it was kool Beans with my pouch. I think I'm also getting used to dumping like it only last 30 to and hour so I'm okay with it. I'm starting kickboxing in 2 weeks to tone up and I'm also starting the gym in march, I hope I can get my arms to stop looking like jelly.

Oh my gosh Luna! If you would have said "I'm dumping!", the first thought I had and he would have to, was when Maya Rudolph ran out into the street in the movie Bridesmaids and 'dumped' in her wedding dress! He probably would have thought that you were trying not to crap in your pants! I was laughing when reading yours and Beni's stories. It's not funny when it's happening of course, but it's what we are all scared of, so it's kind of a comic relief for the tension we hold about eating when we are out of the house.

Here is my haircut day 2, the way I will wear it, don't do poofy. I am much more comfortable with it this way, and the adverse psychological effects from seeing all that hair coming out by handfuls.

I am so sorry your feeling frustrated and sad about your Hair loss. I've always used Nioxin products. And I added Biotin to my daily supplement routine. I hope this helps. Hang in there! You're gorgeous, intelligent and deserving to be your best!

Misstvb, I share your emotions! What a victory, and I know its more to go to become victorious! I started my weight loss crusade at 321. I weighed today at 234. 13lbs to 100lbs lost. Too surreal! Logically, I know im losing. I'm doing well in this transition, BUT I don't see it yet.. do you have those feelings?

Yes, I've yet to feel a difference. I think it will be one of those things where you wake up and look at yourself and say, "oh my, look at me, I did it".

      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.
