You look terrific. I have a question., any significant hair loss? I have noticed most people of color (AA) don't suffer Hair loss as much.

I have a little thining of my hair but no real hair loss.I also make it a point to do protien, protien and more Protein. Gets boring but since I can't eat much doesn't really bother me.

Can you share if you had any stalls along the way and how you handled it if you did? Also, if you did, how long did it last?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Let me start by saying i believe it is very important to speak with your nut when you are going through a stall they are very equiped to talk you through to a solution. I have this far only had one stall that lasted for 2 weeks weight loss i was still losing inches. Mine was because my body was starving so it was storing the fat i still have. So i needed to up my Protein and slow down a bit on the exercise. Who would have thunk that exercising too much would have been a problem. But i can see how it is now i still cannot eat much so I have to be very aware of my protien intake daily so i can still get my exercise in, it is my stress relief.

It has been almost 10 months since I had the sleeved and I am down 171 pounds 14 sizes down and total body loss 127 inches. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it and follow the program. The sleeve is not going to do all of the work for you but if you work for it you can achieve your desired results. Wish I would have done this 10 years ago.

Well almost at initial weight loss goal 2 pounds to go. My surgery date was November 16th 2015 pretty positive I can get to onederland prior to that date just keep working at it chipping away a little at a time. I am really proud of myself and you should all be proud of yourselves too. There is nothing easy about this journey but with the hard work the rewards are that much sweeter. :-)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
