    Recovery room question

    I woke up in the recovery room and shook my head. The nurse asked if I was in pain and I said yes. She gave me meds. Then I woke up in my room.

    freezing!

    Presurgery I was always hit and would sweat at work if I got busy... Embarrassing. Now I'm always freezing! It's Skinny bitch problems, lol
  3. I thought I was losing a lot of hair but I'm not compared to yours. I'm so sorry. Are you taking biotin? And I've been also using a hair repair shampoo with keratin. I think Suave makes it.

    Anyone still on here?

    It sounds like everyone is doing good overall. I am 5 pounds out from when I was the smallest the last time about 12 years ago. Started in a 20 and into a 12 right now.

    I use my fitness pal. My doc didn't tell me to track either... I just do. Mainly started tracking for protein but obviously it does calories too.

    I have been sticking to about 60g a day and 500-800 calories. Drinking my water... This last week I have been naughty because I started my cycle and was craving chocolate and salt. Over the past 3 weeks I have been bouncing between 170-173 pounds
  9. Starting weight: 241 Current weight: 170 Total loss: 70 pounds I have lost 16 inches in my waist, 14 inches in my hips, 8 1/2 inches in my chest. I am actually at my goal weight but would like to lose 10-20 more pounds because we all know there is regain. I have been yo yoing for the past couple weeks. Just kinda checking in...

    Any nurses out there?

    I took 3 weeks. Glad I did so I could get used to eating soft food before I went back. I work a busy Labor and Delivery unit

    Body by vi is it a fad?

    My nut said if I have the shakes I can use them. But I wouldn't buy them again.... They are pricy and you can find a good alternative.
  13. I'm 5 months out and I struggle with water... Makes my stomach cramp and sits like a rock unless it's a cup full of ice with a little amount of water.
  14. If your not having pain from the stone they usually aren't a big deal and docs don't do anything..... Unless it actually becomes painful.
  15. Starting Weight: 241 12 weeks out: 194, 47 pounds lighter. Lost another 5 pounds this week!
