It's kind of gross when the hair runs down my body in the shower, ick. Hopefully it slows down soon, fortunately I have long thick hair so it's not noticeable.

I thought I was the only one who noticed it running down my body...lol

I started losinf at 3 months. I'm at 5 months now and it seems to be less and less. Or at least thats the way it seems when I'm cleaning it out of the drain. When I started losing the hair, I increased my Protein. I usually get between 8o and 100 grams per day now.

I'm in Baltimore too. Sleeved on Nov. 5th.

Thats great! I can eat a lot more then a few bites though. I get full at 1 cup of food. I feel like my weight loss is slow but I 'm not exercing like I should be. I can tell in my clothes that I've lost weight. I've had to start wearing old clothes that I saved. I was about a 22 -24 and I can get into a 14 now but I don't like the way it makes my stomach look so I wear 16's and they are starting to look a little loose, I have to wear a belt.

Do you take pictures of yourself? I usually take a picture in the same outfit on the 9th of each month. I haven't posted them but I think I'll do that tonight.

We should talk more often, I could use someone to keep me in line lol.

I'm tatu31 on MFP

Hi, ya, that would be great. I haven't been on here much lately. I've been using my fitnesspal.com to track my calories, exercise and weight. So how are you? Are you feeling okay?

I think your nurse is nuts! Great job!

8\9\12

start weight 282

current weight 227

I stopped exercising when I went on a trip about a month ago. I need to get back on track ASAP!

I eat anything and everything, Protein first, I don't eat bread, rice, patatoes, Pasta or corn.

I'm slacking on my Water. I need to get that back on track also.

I feel good and I am very glad that I chose the sleeve.

Good luck.

Date sleeved: 8/9/12

Start weight:282

Weight today:235

What you eating and how much daily: most days 64 oz of Water. 1egg for Breakfast, snack- peanuts 2oz or a pack of 100 cal beef Jerky it has 18 grams of Protein. Lunch- I piece of tilapia 19 grams of Protein. snack 100 cal greek yogurt vanilla 13 grams of protein. dinner 4-5 oz turkey or chicken or a piece of fish.

Daily work out: not enough but usually 3 days a week. 1 hr on the tread mill at about 3mph then I work on strength training on either arms legs or stomach for about 30 minutes

How hungery are you?: not very, mostly head hunger. When I'm not busy I tend to want to reach for food

How you feel physically: better then I have in a long time.

How you feel emotionally:torn, somedays are really good and others I want to eat like I used to or I want the weight to come off faster. Its crazy.

Are you glad you chose the sleeve?:I'm glad I chose the sleeve

Anything extra to say?: I often wonder if I will be one of the people that stop loosing weight after I have dropped 50 pounds and I always worry that I will be one of the people that gains my weight back.

Yay, I have a new buddy!! I'm in Annapolis. Well, we probably won't be going to the gym together but we can definetly compare and share and just talk if need be. You can reach me on here, by email or you can call me. I'll inbox you my info. So how much weight have you lost, are you going to the gym?

Congratulations, It's going to feel great on the losers side. You'll be in my thoughts today.

Congrats! You're on your way to a healthier you!

I can finish 16.9 oz of Water in about 30 min. I don't know what it means. I guess I should always be getting my water in.

Welcome! you'll find lots of info on here along with some really supportive people. Good luck!

Nothing taste as good as skinny feels! I'm 7 weeks post op and down 39 pounds. This will be you soon, hang in there!

I wish I could lose that much, I'm 7 weeks and only down 39 pounds. Whatever your doing keep it up and fill me in!

Wear it out NOW!!!!! You look great!!!!

My surgeon used a 38 and I have never been sick. I eat whatever my heart desires. I just don't eat over 4oz and I choose not to eat bread, Pasta, rice, corn, potatoes or sweets. I am down 39 pounds since 8/9/12 .( I need to update my ticker) I do get a weird feeling near my sternum if I eat to quickly or even if I eat 4oz but its a very dense food.< /p>

I was told nothing carbonated.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that you guys are feeling this way. I had my surgery 8/9/12. I had nausea one time but it subsided after I took the anti nausea medication and it's never come back. I feel pretty darn good except sometimes I'm a little tired. I can eat just about whatever I want. I choose not to eat bread, Pasta, rice, corn or potatoes. I eat about 4 to 5 ounces at each meal and 2 or 3 Snacks a day. My Snacks are never over 100 calories. I don't drink anything unless it's Water, skim milk or artificially sweetened. I have a hard time with the shakes also but sometimes I drink an EAS shake 100 cal 17 grams of Protein. It's not to bad, it's not thick and it's something I turn to when I need more Protein for the day, it's also pre made in like juice box. I do have a hard time getting all my Water in and to be honest I've gotten in the 64 oz on 3 occasions. I usually get about 5o oz in. I need to work harder at that.

What types of food are you eating and do you take something to reduce the acid in your stomach?

I hope you both start to feel better, good luck!

Hi all, I'm looking for people that want to share and compare their ups and downs with the sleeve. People that I can talk to or meet, maybe even go to the gym with. I'm in Anne Arundel county.

Lol, I love it! Good for you.

Hopefully you are gaining muscles from all the working out and thus the weight increase. keep working out!

It was 13000 just for the bills from the hospital not including the surgeons fee. I found one EOB currently looking for the other cause I'm kind of curious now.

I love it also, started at 1 mo.
