Sick all the time and hair loss



Recommended Posts

I lost some hair but it wasn't a huge deal for me because I had lost a lot of hair already before surgery. So, I knew how to deal with Hair loss. I haven't ever felt sick since surgery other than a couple of times accidentally eating too much, and I got a cold once last year. My health is terrific and I feel great.

Never sick.

hair grew back faster than it fell out. And I don't even care about the hair to be honest. I wear wigs and weave anyway because that is the current trend.

How do you define sick? I haven't gotten any viruses since surgery. Sometimes I ate things that didn't agree with my sleeve and I felt unwell for a while but learned from my mistakes. I lost quite a bit of hair but it grew back nicely.

Define sick. You are having major surgery, your stomach is being cut, there are holes cut through your abdominal wall....so there will be discomfort. To this day I occasionally get nauseated or vomit.

Most people do have some hair loss but you can help that with Protein and Vitamins. I had minimal Hair loss. But honestly the weight Ive lost would definately be worth some hair loss

I guess I am one of those who is sick. I have written about it before and have tried a variety of things to reduce my pain but nothing seems to help. Dense Proteins like egg and tuna salad, pork and cottage cheese, even if only a 1/4 cup causes me pain in my tummy. This pain last anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours. I am so tired of eating and having pain. I eat slowly and chew but still get pains. I am taking Gas X and there is no immediate relief. The only thing that seems to help is to stretch out on my bed. I see the surgeon again in July. At the 3 month mark he told me that was my signal that I was full. I seriously doubt that 1/4 cup of cottage cheese makes my tummy that full. Because of this pain issue I have reverted back to using Protein Soups and drinks and only eating 1 meal of dense Protein.

@@ssflbelle Have they done an endoscopy to see if you might have a stricture?

Nope I have had nothing done since surgery in Jan. I don't even know what an endoscope and stricture are?

You need to get an appointment with your surgeon. You should not still feel this bad. Please call ASAP and hopefully they'll figure out the problem.

      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.
