I am post op 10 months now. Taking biotin and flax seed oil tabs for a few months now. Still losing lots of hair and thining out. I guess I still am not getting enough protein in. It is hard when my food portions are so limited. I have lost 60 lbs.

Congratulations Michael!!! That is truly amazing! I am 9 months post op and have lost 60 lbs. I seem to be at a standstill for a very long time now. But of course I know it is my own fault. I am losing will power daily!!! I must get back on track soon or else!!!!!!!! Do you have any before and after pics posted? I would like to see them. Take care and good luck towards your goal! I know you will do it!!! Such courage and will power you have!

I hope you feel stronger and painfree with the upcoming weeks. You are doing so great on your journey and you are a true inspiration to all of us! Thank you so much! Take care.

What do your 3 meals consists of and snacks? That isn't many calories. The protein shakes will boost it a little. Sounds like your gettin alot of protein so I am curious what you are eating with so little calories. Take care.

Enjoyed this blog very much. Made me laugh! You are very talented. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. Very much appreciated!

CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THEY ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM? MY HAIR IS THINNING AND FALLING OUT. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT? I AM GETTING MY RECOMMENDED AMT. OF PROTEIN SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I AM HYPO THYROID THOUGH. ANY SIGNIFICANCE? I TAKE MEDS FOR IT. I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL!!!!!!!!

I HAD MY CHECK UP TODAY. I LOST 7 MORE LBS. YEH!!! I DIDN'T THINK THE SCALE WAS EVER GONNA MOVE! BUT IT DID! I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO ONDERLAND! I ALSO GOT A .5CC FILL TODAY TOO. I HOPE I HAVE BETTER RESTRICTION NOW! SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I COULD EAT A HORSE. LOL

Sounds like alot of fears. No fret, we all have them. But it truly is a good decision. The wt. will come off, maybe not as fast as you would like, but it will. You will be pleased.

Congrats to you! You will do just fine. PLease post and let us know of your progress. Good luck and take care.

MAYBE YOU NEED ANOTHER FILL? BUT PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE GETS TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE AT A STALL. IT IS NORMAL. DON'T FRET. IT WILL PICK UP AGAIN YOU WILL SEE. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

YES I OCCASIONALLY GET THE SHOULD PAIN AS WELL. I HAD IT REALLY BAD RIGHT AFTER SURGERY TOO. I GUESS I KINDA GOT USED TO IT AS I DON'T NOTICE IT SO MUCH ANYMORE. IT USED TO BE VERY ANNOYING. I TOOK TYLENOL GEL CAPSULES FOR IT WHICH HELPED. GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND I HOPE YOUR PAIN GOES AWAY SOON!!!

OH BELIEVE ME, YOU'LL LEARN SOON ENOUGH - LOL JUST TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY.

MY HUBBY AND I WENT BIKING TODAY. WE BIKED 5 MILES IN AND 5 MILES BACK OUT. WE WENT ON A TRAIL WHICH IS OF COURSE EASIER TO RIDE BUT I GOTTA TELL YA - I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I COULD EVER DO THIS. REMEMBER I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA. LAST TIME I RODE MY BIKE WAS 2 YRS. AGO AND I WAS 50 LBS HEAVIER AND COULD ONLY DO A TOTAL OF 4 MILES AND IT JUST ABOUT KILLED ME FOR REAL!!! SO 10 MILES TOTAL BIKE RIDE TODAY IS JUST UNBELIEVEABLE FOR ME!!! YEAH ME!!!

I was tasting the chocolate reading this blog. LOL Very inspirational! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Shonette! Sorry to hear you have been having some difficulties. I get sliming and stuck from time to time too. I hate it. My band is so ornery! We fight all the time! LOL. I have been at a stand still for the past 2 months! Ugg!! No wt. loss. Depressing. But I have slacked in exercising though coz of my fibromyalgia causing me some grief lately. But oh well, I just keep plugging along, taking one day at a time. It seems it will be a slow process for me as well. Take care and keep us posted on your progress!

Well said Lovethenewme!!! Sounds like you have this whole lapband journey down pat! Congrats to you! You are truly an inspiration to others. You are very wise! Thanks for taking the tinme to write so often to encourage others. It is truly appreciated.

Hey - so what are those baileys marshmellows shots anyway? Looks good! LOL. Looks like you are having fun. That is good. We need to do that. Life is hard and sometimes we all forget to have fun! Take care.
