  1. Oh one more thing, Permenant hair color will not stay in my hair, it comes out in like 4 washes and I am sure its not a rinse out...lol.
  2. I'm over a year post and was still losing hair, well by this time it is now noticable. I use to have realy thick hair. I just went buy some Nioxin, I know a lot of people using it and they all say it is great. I also was lacking on my vitamins, so I just starting taking them again. I take 3000mg of biotin, and someone told me to take 4 flintstones instead of 2 which the DR. told me to take 2. My nails were peeling and I was getting dry patches on my eyelids. I hope I start seeing a difference, or I will be buying a wig soon!!!!
  3. Hi, I have a friend that lives in Grand Ilse, Vermont. Good Luck !!!!!!!! You will be feeling so much better in just a few weeks.
  4. I need to get in the groove!!!!!!!!! Hopfully monday, the weather is starting to warm up.
  5. The scale didn't drop any yet but its my own fault. I have been picking on that left over chocolate from Easter, hopfully by the end of the weekend it is out the house. I would have thrown it away but I feel bad throwing my 7 yr olds candy away for my bad habit. I just need to say no to sweets. This unfill has been amazing, this is how the band is suppose to work. I don't plan on going for a fill for a while, unless I was to gain 5-10 lbs.
  6. I never really kept track of calories but I guess it would be a nice time to start. I don't really think I eat over 1000 a day. I will have to track it for a while. Maybe I am just not eating enough.
  7. I will weigh Tuesday morning to see what the scale tells. I can eat much better now, I don't PB no more.:wink:
  8. I too was able to eat this morning. I havn't done that in months. I never had a pb. Everything is going down good, but I need to check the scale tomorrow morning. I ate boiled seafood this weekend, so I didn't want to get on the scale with all that salt...lol. I absolutly feel so much better. My DH was sick of seeing me vomit everytime I would eat. I'm glad everone else is feeling better. As long as the scale goes down I'm staying away from another fill.
  9. I just got an unfill Monday bcause I was too tight, I was starting with acid reflux. That unfill has been wonderful.
  10. I had a .5cc taken out Monday and feel so much better. I hope it stays this way.
  11. Hi Cindi, I was reading your post, I use to ride horses before I gainned all my weight. I finally started riding again. I felt the same way as you. It is so nice to feel comfortable to ride again. Went beach riding a couple months ago but it was really too cold, hope to do it again soon on the beach. It was really nice.
  12. Hello everyone!!! I just had an unfill (.5). I was having acid reflux. Anyone experience that? Doc said if the unfill didn't help it could be the gallballder. I just hope if it is that my insurance will pay for it.
  13. I need to restart also. I think I would need to go see the dietician for a brain refresh about the foods I use to eat, you just start getting off track when you start trying other foods and forget about the healthy foods I was eating. I think that would help me out. I have like 13 lbs to go and it is the hardest.
  14. I went yesterday and get a slight unfill. I was starting with acid reflux. My doctor told me if the unfill didn't work it could be my gallbladder. I was slimming all the time and the other day could hardly eat ice cream, so I new I better go in. I had never had heart burn since surgery and my last fill it started again.
  15. I think I need a slight unfill. I have been having acid reflux, really gassy and can hardly eat meat at all. I havn't been being faithful to my exercise program either. I don't know if I have a gallbladder problem or I'm just to tight but I don't like the feeling I'm having.
  16. OK I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that bounces around 1-3 lbs. I usally weigh about 2-3 times a week just to make sure I don't shoot up 10 lbs. The weight loss is really slow right now, I feel like I will never get to my goal.
  17. Having a sweet tooth and can't get rid of it. Does anyone have any suggestions? This all started around the Holidays and I can't get rid of it. Before the holidays it didn't bother me at all. Now I feel I have to have something sweet everyday.
  18. This is this pass weekend. This was 1 week post-op. I still need to go down a few more but it has been so hard. Everyone is just looking so good!:blushing:
  19. Wow you are doing great! I am in Lafourche Parish. Nice to hear from someone, its been a while.
  20. Just checking in. I have been really bad the pass few days. I had a sweet tooth and ate things I shouldn't have. Been working out about 2 times a week. I have been bad on that too. I just hate the cold weather and can't wait for it to leave. I'm such an outdoor person. I will be getting more active as it warms up here. Hope everyone is doing great!
  21. You will soon get to your right fill. I think after about 12 I have mine. The last one about 2 weeks ago is really restricked. I have been throwing up. I been doing protein shakes and can barely put those down. I don't know about you guys but I can eat better at night. During the day it is very hard to even put liquids down. It took about a week for the last fill to kick in. That is so weird how that works. Well keep up the good work.
  22. I'm about 30 miles southeast of New Orleans. It just made a year for me on the 23rd of Jan. Good luck to everyone! I went to Southern Surgical with Dr French in NO.
  23. I refinanced my home for lesser years and got money back.
  24. WoW! I woke up this morning and the scale finally started moving again. I am still on track. I had hurt my back for a few days but I didn't give up. Went to the Chiraprator and I am feeling better.
  25. I guess I should be on this thread. I have lost on average 5.8 lbs a month, but the scale is not going down since lifting weights but I can tell the inchs are coming off. Just remember this is a life long decision we have made. No need to try and drop it all in one year.
