Congrats! You look great!

TE (telegen effluvium) is part of severe calorie restriction and quick weight loss. Mine is finally growing back. I'm 2+ years out.

I eat all low fat Proteins on the planet except soy for the most part. And most of my Protein is animal based rather than plant based, although I do eat 1+ lbs of veg per day and there is some amount of protein in those plants.

The ones I love:

eggs/egg whites

2% cottage cheese

non fat Greek yogurt

Premier Protein in coffee = proffee lattes

Fairlife Core Power chocolate blended with ice and nonfat Greek yogurt to make a milkshake

tuna in pouch (water packed)

salmon in pouch (water packed)

sardines in Water

Boar's Head Turkeys + Lacey Swiss roll-ups/wraps

Oscar Meyer Naturals Ham

tuna salad made with pouch tuna + cottage cheese + hb egg + green onion + dijon + vlasic dill relish

salmon

shrimp

basa fillets

chicken breasts

turkey cutlets

ground turkey

ground chicken

pork loin/tenders

lean beef

90/10 ground beef

ribeye steak trimmed of visible fat

turkey pepperoni

turkey sausage

venison all cuts

lamb lean cuts

reduced fat cheeses

fresh mozzarella

nuts/seeds/nut butters

nonfat Fairlife milk

nonfat buttermilk

low fat sour cream

temporary Hair loss is extremely common with bariatric surgery. But....it'll grow back. I lost hair (but not a lot...) from about month 6 to month 9. For most of us, you're the only one who'll notice it.

      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
