I am 56 days out from my sleeve and I’ve been doing really well. In addition to the 59 pounds I’ve lost (before and after surgery), I seem to be losing my arm hair (good) and eyebrows (not good). Did anyone else have this happen? Did they grow back? Should I add eyebrow tattoos to my list of post surgery cosmetic procedures?

My head hair has been thinning for some time and I was expecting to lose that, but I haven’t noticed that yet.

Thanks!

Yowza! My eyebrows are light in color, so most days I use a product like mascara to darken them up a bit. If I lost them, that would really be something! I'd be calling my clinic, I think.

I had very hairy legs my entire life then over the past few years I lost all the hair on my legs. I had surgery in January & since then my leg hair has come back in full. Not even sure what to say about lost hair for me it’s the opposite.

      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.
