Surgery 8/21/12
52 pounds total weight loss.
:-)

Basically, it's the luck of the draw; or blame genetics. I had all my Protein plus, drank, took Biotin, my supplements, AND am a slow loser....and my hair fell out in my 4th month. Sorry- i wish there was a magic potion, but there isn't. Some things work for people, but I honestly have my doubts that a product really helped. :-)
So...buy cute hats, get a snazzy haircut, buy a volumnizer product. It won't last forever. .

Really? Ya don't know what you are missing!!

My answer isn't going to be the popular one.....I personally would not have the surgery. Recently there have been people with horrific outcomes. Probably because the surgery is becoming more popular, so stats go higher. There is no guarantee that everything will go ok, there just isn't.
I needed to lose 100 pounds and had severe health issues. The weight was making my health worse and it was a Catch-22. I was ok with knowing that things could go wrong because my life sucked pre-surgery.
But please know that I don't walk in your shoes. Nobody does but you. It could be life changing for you, and if you decide to have the surgery, then I hope it is. Just make sure you weigh all the pros and cons beforehand.

You look great!! I love your cute nose too!!! (Even though that wasn't part of your surgery.)
Congrats!!

Holy smokes! You look amazing. Actually, you don't even look like the same person!! Love the cat!!

Hi:
Where is your Protein? These carbs are making you hungry. This is going to be the case for anyone even with the sleeve. Have a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch, you need to get at least 60 grams of protein in and probably more depending on your current size. Once you start eating solids you will feel the restriction. Try to stop worrying about losing weight and just trust that this operation is the best thing that you've done for your heath and it will work just as you wanted it to.

WTG, OTR!! Ya just woke up the baby!! :-)
I find it amusing how irritated people have gotten w this post. So what if people want to post? As long as they aren't bashing others (which many have! W a cast Iron skillet!)
Just unsubscribe if the thread annoys you. :-)
I do have to admit, that threads like this has made the search option harder. Last year when we searched for a topic, we'd get solid info. Now there's a lot of gobbledegook to wade thru making it harder to search. And that's a shame.

We need a new forum: 'The Party is HERE! Clothing Optional!' That'll keep the fudiduddies out. All of is sitting around in our wrinkled birthday suits.

This week starts my 8th week stalled at 198. Congrats to all the losers on here! :-). My time will come.

I have a cup of hot choc too!! W whipped cream. So yummy.

Just look at it this way - you went from living in a gigantic mansion into a little studio apt. You still have everything you need, food, shelter, clothing, etc - you just have to be more efficient with the space! Don't panic, you are going to feel SO good!

Hi! Welcome!! While you are zooming around in the scooter, just remember, this will be the last time you'll ever need one!!! I loved my 'lasts' as my weight went down.
