October List of Surgery's



Recommended Posts

It's been interesting for me.... today is day 75, I finally went and got smaller uniforms at work, which I had been putting off I didn't want them to be to tight. My job can be physically demanding. Plus who wants to be Stuffed into clothes for 8+hours. I've been wearing the new ones, but even they baggy. Since surgery I've loss around 37 pounds. I go to the gym for at least an hour 4 times a week, mainly cardio for now...I'm still having an issue with my hair. It used to be so thick and now I run my hands through it or take a shower and I have a whole handful in my hands.

HW: 298

SW: 252

Current: 215

Good luck everyone

@@L.Harmony Are you taking Biotin? I do but I have noticed this last week more strands of hair on my clothing than normal. No handfuls, at least not yet. The Hair loss is supposed to get better after 6 months. Glad your doing well with the weight loss!

Has any one else noticing some Hair loss? Mine isn't horrible but I just started noticing at 3 months more hair on my clothing. No clumps just more strands than usual. Taking Biotin everyday, & getting my Protein in. I'm at a stall right now, for 2 weeks. I haven't been walking as much, so I know what I need to do! Hope everyone else is doing well!!!.

Hi all. I was just at my surgeon yesterday. I'm 10 weeks post op. Even though I'm a November RNY, I just love all you peeps from the October group. So, I'm jumping in! (Been lurking for months now)????

My surgeon stressed a lot yesterday about possible Hair loss. He told me it most likely will be the worst in months 3 through 6. It will come back! So far, I'm ok, but 3 months is around the corner!LOL I'll keep you updated.

Wishing you all the best!

My hair is long so the thinning is noticeable to me- not sure if others notice though. It's not like people are going to mention it! Lol

Still having problems achieving a 'balanced' diet and getting in my Protein. My NUT keeps telling me to eat more veggies and carbs but I'm like protein first means I'm usually full from protein. The struggle is real!

I've been in a stall but I am plugging along, following program and trying to get in my Water. I know it'll move eventually but man- it's easier to feel motivated when the scale is moving!

Keep this thread alive October people! (And amazing November people who want to join us! :)

I have noticed hair loss in my brush, but nothing dramatic… yet, that is! Being just past the 3 month point myself, I presume that I may see an increase soon. I am getting my protein and taking Biotin, as well. I guess that is all we can do. I know that my skin is doing much better post surgery, so that is good :) Probably has to do with cleaner living, less sugars, etc. ;) I have been in a stall too… i dropped below 200 at Christmas, but I've been stuck in the mid-190s. I too need to walk more. I have only been walking about 3-4 times a week and I should be walking at least 6 :(

I hear you. I joined a gym this week but so far I haven't included exercise into my program at all. I need to make time for exercising! I think as a mom of young kids (3&5) I forget about self-care. And exercise will likely help push us through these stalls.

Ok I'm committing to actually entering the gym I joined! Haha

I actually joined a gym today too! Lol. And because I have to pay for it, I will go!!

I went today and it was amazing. I forgot how much I missed going. (Haven't been in almost a year) I'm hoping this gets me off my stall.

I joined the gym last week and this week stuck in the house because of blizzard. I had my 3 month appt last week. Labs look great, I had to cut back on my B Vitamins and my cholesterol is 120! I am losing hair too. I have lost 28% of excesos weight. They don't like to set goals, but told me at 6 months they like to see 40-50% EWL. I think once I get in the gym. I have been snacking a bit much being stuck at home. Trying to drink plenty of Water. The struggle is Real!

      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.
