4 months post-op and the hair loss is honestly hitting me harder than anything else. I knew it could happen, but I didn’t expect it to be this intense. I’m shedding so much it actually feels like I’m going bald.

I used to have really thick, full hair, and now it’s gotten so thin that I barely recognize it. It’s affecting how I see myself a lot more than I thought it would. I don’t feel like myself anymore, and it’s been really depressing to deal with on top of everything else post-surgery.

Did anyone else go through this around this time? Does it actually get better?

I’m 4 months post-op and I’ve gone from 253 lbs to 200 lbs (I’m 5’1). I know that’s progress, but lately my weight loss has slowed down a lot and it’s starting to stress me out.

My goal weight is around 130 lbs, which is healthy for my height/age, but right now it feels so far away and I’m worried I won’t actually get there. I keep thinking maybe I’m doing something wrong or that my body just decided to stop losing.

Has anyone else experienced a slowdown around this point? Did things pick back up for you, or did you have to change something?

Any advice, reassurance, or tips would really help right now.

53 lbs down at 4 months post-op and i still struggle to see a difference most days. putting my before/after pics side by side definitely helps a bit, but mentally it’s like my brain hasn’t caught up yet. body dysmorphia is honestly such a pain.

trying to trust the process and remind myself that progress is there even if i don’t fully see it yet. really appreciate this community for keeping me grounded and motivated. stay safe 🩷

losing weight and still feeling ugly is such a weird thing to experience. i genuinely thought once i lost the weight i’d finally feel confident and happy with myself, but mentally i still see the same person i was before. people compliment me constantly and i appreciate it, but none of it actually sticks. it’s like no amount of external validation changes the way i see myself. i’m so tired of this.
