A Little Discouraged
Not sure why but it’s been a very slow month in terms of weight loss. The last week my scales said I actually gained a few lbs. Not sure why. I get a bit depressed at times wondering where the 30lbs a month that I’ve heard so much about is. Only had one vomit session this month so that is good but had a few dumpings. I still need to learn to eat more slowly. The worst thing is the last week I have been losing my hair. I know I was told it was a possibility at about the 3 month mark but was hoping it wouldn’t happen to me. Apparently it’s your body’s response to the stress of the surgery and the so few calories you are taking in the first few months. I dread brushing my hair in the morning because there is so much in the brush when I’m done and on me. It’s only supposed to last a few months and there isn’t much I can do about it. The nurse said I won’t lose ALL of my hair and that it will grow back. Work has been very stressful so I am also wondering if that could be the cause of the very little weight loss.

So have things picked back up yet? My daughter had the surgery a year ago and she has lost 130ish pounds. But during this last year the weight loss came in fits and starts. Sometimes she would loose 30 a month. Then she would go weeks without loosing. Now I keep hoping she can stop loosing because people are commenting on how skinny her arms and legs are! It’s kind of frightening really. She did loose some hair too. Not in the third month or so like doctors said, but after 8 or 9 months. It is slowing down now thank God. My kids are pressuring me to have the surgery but I STILL don’t know. Thank you for your diary. I hope things are going well.
