I'm also having major Hair loss, I think I have to up my Protein intake. I've also noticed mucus build up after eating. Still unable to eat more than a few bites unless it's Soup. HW 454 SW 419 Weight as of 10/20 332. I'm happy with my results but worried about my hair, thank God it's thick.

My hubby had to clean the drain in our shower and I swear there was as much hair in the drain as there is on my head!!!! I need to remember my Protein Shakes more often I am afraid!!

I get discouraged sometimes because I feel like I haven't lost as much weight as I should, but today I made a side by side of myself and was blown away by the difference. June 1st surgery date.

Having major Hair loss. Cut 6 inches off my length, hoping that taking some of the weight off will help.

Me too! I'm freaking out! Surgery was 6/12. I am down 75lbs, but getting super self conscious about my hair :(

Took another 6 inches off on Saturday. I can't quite tell but I think my hair is coming out less. Most of my loss is in the front. I can actually see my scalp. I think I might be turning in to Homer Simpson. Weight loss has been good. Have loss close to 90 pounds. Had sleeve surgery on June 10th. Feel good, just need to exercise more. How is other "June Sleevers" doing?

This was my fb post for today:

I am sooooo excited!!!! I finally got out of bed at 6:10 after a really bad nights sleep and followed my morning routine. Went to bathroom, then I jumped on the scales, I can't believe the number!!!! So I weighed myself three other times, and still the same!!! Sleepless night is no match for being so excited!!!! I am DOWN 76 pounds!!!! I have been really watching what I eat and drink the last week because of the holidays coming up and didn't want to be set back. I guess it is working and the scale numbers are dropping to prove it is working!!!! I celebrated by giving the girls money to stop and get a drink and a donut or something. Figured they could Celebrate for me!!!! I am only about 20 pounds away from my goal!!!!!

I was sleeved on 6/25. I'm down to 177lbs. SW 235 it feels great.. I too am having major Hair loss. It is really hard for me to wash and brush my hair. It's a little scary. I had a lot of hair. I also cut a lot of length off of my hair to give it a fighting chance. I also noticed the other day that my legs are getting all wiggly. Like loose leg skin. I've picked up the Protein and the workouts. But that is somewhat disturbing. I guess wiggly skin is better than fat legs and bad health.

I had surgery 06/24 and have lost slowly. I lost 40lbs before surgery and 43lbs since surgery.

I have lost about 40% of my hair judging the size of my ponytail and its really scary!!

I have been losing it for about 3 months now and I keep praying every day its going to end soon and I will start seeing regrowth!!

Hey all you June sleevers...we are at or close to the six month milestone. Where is everyone? What is different for you? Are you happy? Would love to hear from everyone.

I, myself am so glad I had the surgery. I feel so good. Have had some rough obstacles like Hair loss, some depression, and I so miss my Diet Pepsi but I have lost 100 pounds. My life improves daily. I wonder what the next six months will bring?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
