  1. Today is my 3 year anniversary. I didn't even realize it until FB reminded me. I feel sad though when I should be grateful. I started out my journey at 260lbs this morning I weighed in at 190! That is not anywhere near where I want to be. I am still struggling with diets and still taking diet pills. i feel like my tool did not work for me I lost 80 lbs then I got pregnant which I am grateful for. My daughter is now 17 months and I haven't been able to lose weight anymore. I see all these success stories and I feel like my dream will never come true. I try not to compare myself to anyone because I know everybody has different issues but I just don't understand why I can't reach my goal and everyday I see it further and further. I haven't met anybody who feels the same way and has had surgery. I feel cheated it makes me want to cry the more I think about it. I can't enjoy food and I can't enjoy being thin either.

    My hair is falling out like crazy, it's everywhere (on my clothes, in my comb, in the shower drain, on my pillow). I had thick curly hair and now its so thin and I had to get bangs to cover 2 little bald spots by my forehead. It's been slowing down a bit ive noticed in the past couple weeks but it still sucks.

    So far I've been lucky. It's shedding but not too bad. Mine has always thinned in the hottest time of the year.
    I've also been taking 5000m of Biotin every day since two days before my surgery.
    I'm just now getting to the three month mark so my fingers are crossed!

    I have begun to have hair loss. It seemed worse when I had longer hair. I just chopped 8 inches off and it seems to have slowed down. I try to make sure I have at least 60g of protein a day. If those don't work I suggest looking into Nioxin. I had hair loss years ago due to stress in my life and it helped it to come back.

    WOW! Ten pounds is fantastic! 30 pounds is a lot of weight and you should celebrate that, your doing great and losing weight so each pound gone is a milestone. Plus you are down a size you you must have been losing inches during that time that you were not losing. I have lost 43 lbs and I am JUST into a size smaller (some clothes in and 18 are tight). I don't think that you should compare yourself to others, just focus on your personal success and you will be a lot happier. I lost one pound today after being on an 8 day stall and I am elated! I take my measurements weekly and the numbers are not moving very fast or at all from last week.

    Your doing great, your sleeve is working, you've lost a LOT of weight and your body is shrinking ALL GREAT THINGS Focus on the positive and just take it one day at a time. Be positive

    Hello
    I have lost 42 pounds and holding. I think I have hit a plateau which sucks but it happens. I am a size smaller in my clothes so I have just recently given away all of my bigger clothes.
    How are you doing?

Someone has got to be in my shoes..

Hi I haven't posted anything in a while this forum used to be so helpful now it depresses me not because its a bad forum but because all the people in it are doing better than me. I'm jealous of the people who got sleeved around the same time I did. I am 15 months post op and I lost 80 lbs the first 9 months then nothing. I was 20 lbs short from my one year goal. I stayed at the same weight after that then I get pregnant! I have now gained about 20 lbs. I visited my doctor yesterday and this month

A hairy situation!!

by clujan09 on 07-23-2013 at 10:35 AM
So my hair is falling out, its falling out pretty bad.. I had to clean my brush three times this morning when I brushed my hair. I feel really depressed today cause I love my hair it's down to my waist and I don't want to go bald or have to cut it... What do I do does anybody else have this problem? How can I stop it? Does it get better or will all of my hair fall out? Awwwww help.
