      Thank you both!

  2. 71 pounds down, less that 40 to go. Anything more than that is a bonus.

      Its about me

      awesome news

       

  4. Can't sleep. My mind won't shut off!

  5. Crap. I gained weight.

  6. Dropped a jean size again. Size 14 skinny jeans!

  7. Finally backing up the thousands of pictures I've taken onto disks. This is going to take a while!

  8. Found out I have a big ol' hematoma on my stomach muscle. That's why I'm in so much pain.

  9. Hair falling out but managed to lose some weight! Getting off hormone therapy so I think that will change things for the better weight wise.

  10. Having a difficult time quitting smoking. Ugh!

      Get a vape, a proper one, not those cheap drugstore ones. Go to an actual vapor store and get a kit. I've never smoked cigarettes and I use them, they are great! Also, it's a safe way for actual smokers to get their nicotine fix and their oral fixation sorted in one go instead of resorting to the cancer sticks.

      I used e-cigs to quit. I agree, don't get the cheap drugstore ones, either. I used ProSmoke, which I ordered online after much research. It's the only way I was able to finally quit.

  11. I believe I met my first goal of losing 50 lbs so far! Yay me!

  15. My hair is falling out and I stopped losing weight. Not happy.

    1. Chelly

      Chelly

      I'm eight months out and I'm still losing but my hair is still coming out.

      Some on this site recommended Juvenon for hair loss problem.

      I don't know anything really about it but my surgeons office said it was okay to use.

      I also checked with the pharmacy I go too to make sure I wouldn't have a problem with it if I started it and was told it was okay to use.

      Here's to our hair not falling out any more.

      have you guys tried biotin. it worked extremely well for me. but it isn't just surgery that will make your hair fall out. go back 5-6 mos. did you experience something stressful? i love suave shampoo the morrocan one. when my hair was falling out it at least fell out shiny and healthy looking. :)

       

  16. Over 70 lbs down. Not sure just how much until I get weighed at my surgeon's office next week.

  17. Possbile Sleeve surgery in mid-January! Waiting for Insurance approval.

  18. Quitting smoking is so hard!

  19. See the Nutritionist tomorrow to see how much more weight I lost!

  20. Started at the gym. Working with a trainer. Hope to start seeing results soon!

      I love working with my trainer. I saw her 8 weeks before surgery and lost 4% body fat and gained 10 pounds of lean muscle during that time. I was actively maintaining my weight because I was borderline qualifying for surgery. I still see her post-op and it's great. Don't worry about it slowing weight loss... if you're building lean healthy muscle you're also amping up the metabolism because muscle burns more calories than fat. I'd rather be lean muscle and healthy than skinny and weak any day! :)

       

  21. Surgery is January 20th! That's if I make this pre-op liquid diet! HA!!

    1. chasingadream

      chasingadream

      Pre-op liquid diets SUCK ( I had 2 weeks pre-op AND 2 week post-op...but you can and will do it and be successful...always remember why you chose to do this and it will get you through...good luck! :)

      Jan 20 will be here before u know it.

  22. Surgery was canceled until tomorrow. I'm very upset about this.

      I feel ur pain. Mine was supposed to be the 16th of Jan. (2014). Surgeon's office told me only 1/2 the surgery would be covered by insurance THE DAY BEFORE surgery. So, I had to cancel and look into appeal. I've lost about 15 pds. on this horrendous pre-op diet, meanwhile. Silver lining in everything?

      My surgery was supposed to be on Wednesday but I'm still waiting for authorization, so it had to be cancelled. Looks like I'll be toughing it out on the preop diet for a while longer....:(

  23. The gym is kicking my butt! But I'm getting results!

  24. Totally disappointed with my weight. It's been over 4 months with no weight loss.

      Are you tracking your food? That information will be helpful when you see your doc or nutritionist. Make sure you see either one of them soon. They can help.
