I had about 3 mths of stay hairless. Not I have tons of new baby hairs coming in. They are about 1.5 inches long already. It will pass, hang in there. It is temporary. Just stay on point with your diet and vitamins.

I started working out consistently in January. I am running my first 5k this Saturday. I have never been into running. .. ever, but just pushed myself up to 3 miles. The exercise really helps and I am starting to see what people talk about with the endorphin high. Feels great. I have about 25 lbs to reach my goal. Started at 282, I am now 163. Best decision ever.

Also working towards doing a 5k. I am up to 1 1/4 miles so far. Trust me I have never liked running but feeling good about my accomplishment so far. Feeling prouder every time I go a little further.

Mine slowed a lot with the new year but it's picking back up by adding exercise in... . Like I should have already been doing. I Finally found a way to squeeze it in. I feel a renewed excitement add my goal is in site and feeling attainable. Smaller than my Husband for once in our 17 yrs together.

Down 115.5 so far. Hoping to Lose about 25 more and then maintain. 166.5 now from 282. Not done yet but feels great. My labs look really good too! Best decision ever [ATTACH]42643[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH]42311[/ATTACH] What a journey this is. Starting weight was 282. I am now at 168.... about 30 lbs to my goal.

Surgery date was 6/25, starting weight was 282. I am currently 172. I am lighter then my hubby for once. He has always been the trim one so i am loving it. We are same height and frame size. I am hoping to reach 135-140, with a little luck. I have been fighting plateaus more then before this month though. I am working out on my lunch bark when ever possible. Hopefully that will jump start me. Plus I am hopefully rebuilding the muscle mass I lost from this. How are my other fellow June sleevers doing?

Congrats to you as well. Feels great to be back it onederland! Keep up the good work!

I just found onederland! !! Yay I am so thrilled. .. it has been a long time

Hello onederland! It has been a long time but I finally found you! !

Lol my dog is enjoying it too

Losing a little slower is good because your skin had s better chance to keep up with the changes in your body

Shewins- I am just starting a b complex and iron to help with my fatigue and hair loss. Pushing to get my calories up. Never thought that would be an issue lol. But all in all I feel pretty good.

Marfar7- hang in there. Keep following the plan. The loss will come. We all started with different sizes and conditions and all will lose at diff rates. I have had moments of frustration but then the loss comes or inches come off. Take measurements when you don't see numbers you want. ..it often is still dropping there

I have gone from 282 to 209.... onederland is in site!

Sleeved on 6/25...I am down 73 total, 24 of this was preop. My bmi is improving. My land were good except my Iron is low and I need to raise my good cholesterol. Loosing some hair, but thankfully my hair is thick so not a problem yet. Feel pretty good other then a little fatigue from the iron. Cold a lot which is strange to me since I used to get hot real easy. But again That is a side effect of low iron. Feeling pretty good about things. Definitely glad I did this. [ATTACH]18922[/ATTACH]

Thank you so much!

Well done!

Newlife: I am definitely not reaching that high on calories. My sleeve was made extra tight and I can only take in an once at a time.

Seeing these pics together was sobering. Finally I pic I am proud of next to one I view never again to resemble. Still got a ways to go but 72 lbs down its feeling pretty great. Down 5 paint sizes!

I just got labs back today. Not sure if my surgeon had even seen them yet. I definitely have some of the symptoms after looking them up. My boss a dr wanted to give me an injection today but I wanted surgeon to see it before that was done.
