  1. My nut just told Me the other day I should be trying to get 1000 calories a day and the days I work out to add at least 200 more calories! Eating so little And exercise will make out bodies think there starving and hold onto everything we eat! I did that and lost 3 lbs yesterday! Good luck girl!
  2. Ummmm really, wow you look HOOOTTT????
  3. Hello all, I've lost 63 lbs since surgery and I am a hair stylist a wife and a mom to 4 boys and little girl! Loving my sleeve
  4. My hair is over half gone and getting all my protien in hasn't helped the situation, my nut said yesterday that your body before the surgery is used to all types if foods and a good portion but after surgery we consume so little that the nutrients go to feed our organs that our hair suffers. I am almost 6 months out and taking bioten has helped a lot that I'm actually seeing it slow down and new hair chutes
  5. I'm almost 6 months out and I have to eat very slow....it's kinda funny I have 1/8 of what my fmily does and I take longer to eat. It's ok though, take your time...I figure there's no need to rush!
  6. It will get better, trust me I questioned myself...like why the hell did I do this to myself in the first month or two...dealing with nausea, headaches and serious fatigue, but before I knew it I was able to eat more foods that tastes good and wasn't so tired. You will get there...a year from now you'll be so glad u made this choice
  7. We have the same surgery date Anyways....I've only lost 62lbs so far...went to the dr and nutritionist today and it was refreshing. I don't eat near enough calories so I have to up mine....but it's not easy, especially when there's so many foods, snack and drinks that taste so much better than what I need to eat. I just think about why I started this journey and nothing tastes better than the reward of dropping another clothes size, and feeling so much better physically and emotionally! You can do this, and I'm sure your not the only one that struggles! Go back to the basics and get a my fitness pal if possible because it really helps! Good luck girl

  16. I am also a hair stylist and have noticed that after my surgery my hair felt more dry and fragile. I still color my hair (darker) every 8 weeks or so and it happens to make it feel better. Of course any highlighting or lightening your hair can be damaging even prior to surgery so you need to be careful what products and who does it. As far as your color not taking...med's can cause that, so I ask clients if there on medications and if so I wash the hair with dish soap before the service (coloring,perming) leaving it on for a few minutes and it helps strip the med's out of the hair! I've also noticed that even when I get all my protien, liquids and Vitamins I still am losing my hair....a lot! My hair is way past the middle of my back and has always been nice and thick but now it's a definite notice that its thinning. I have to clean my brush out after each use because its filled. I pray it slows down soon but it's pretty much inevitable! Good luck with everything!
  17. Pre surgery 272 Surgery date 2/26 264 6/14/13 218 I'm also 6 ft tall
  18. I ate two bites of bar-b-que 3 months post op and got so so sick..... One of the few things that's made me sick. I won't be trying that again anytime soon!
  19. I'm only three months out and there have been a few occasions where I gained 1-2 lbs and then a week later lost 5-7lbs. A pound is something as small as you need to go to the bathroom. You might need to up your calories too, if you get less than 700 -900 in a day you won't lose either. So god luck and don't get discouraged!
  20. Kidding maybe????? Stripper ha, I would like a stripper body
