I started losing my hair at four mos out. Almost six now and still losing it. I'm surprised I'm not bald yet. I use biotin and protien shampoo and conditioner

I do Flintstones vitamins. Not a great tsste but tolerable

Northeast arkansas! Near Osceola

I only took 3 wks off. 0 n/v and very minimal pain. I had a very good and easy recovery.

Surgery date 11-04-13

Pre weight 250 Surgery weight 239 Currently 198!!! Haven't weighed this in 3 yrs!!

I told my husband my weight. Almost 17 weeks out now and down 52 lbs. Started at 250

Good for u!! Luv urself, always!!! <3

I tried life chioce from walmart. They were ok at first, but now I can taste the sugar alcohols. Can't do protien drinks because they turn my stomach!!

I'm 12 weeks out tomorrow and..... nope. No hair loss!

12 weeks monday and down 45 lbs. I go usually half the month not losing then loose a few lbs. Been in a stall 2 weeks now. I'm still super excited. Thats 45 lbs I couldn't have lost myself! Chins up!!!

I waited 2 weeks. I wasn't sore any more and was cleared to drive too!

Salmon and trout r good too

I'm 9 weeks and 3 days out! I still have problems getting all my protein. I do hit 60 grams most days. I'm down 42 lbs. Seems like I'm losing slow, but how much would I have lost on my own? Not near that!! So overall I'M HAPPY!!

Expect the stalls! I'm 9 wks out and down 40 lbs! I stay the same for anywhere from a couple days to the longest(2 weeks). I just keep doing what I'm supposed to. It took me years to get to 250, not going to loose it in 2 months!! Good luck to u all and kerp ur head up!!

leaving behind 37 lbs in 2013! Started my journey on 11-4-13!

I've had no pronlem with Mexican or Chinese. My problem was honey nut cheerios! Spent the next 45 min in the bathroom!

Thanks for the encouragement! Ppl have noticed already. Everyone at work knows about the surgery snd r supporting me!

I'm 8 wks out tomorrow (monday) and stats: hw-250. Sw-239. Cw-213. 37 lbs so far total. I'm happy about it but it seems to be really slow. Stalled three times for about a week each

Amen to that lol

No problem at all. Bought a small bag. Ate about 1/4 of the bag. Just had the urge for some

I'm 7 wks out and ate some last week

I'll be 7 wks out monday and 34 lbs down woohoo! I went back to work after 3 wks. No problems at all. Never had thw tired drained feeling, never had gas pains. My biggest problem was getting fluids and protein in. Then at about 5 wks, no more problems with that. My only blip was my iv infiltrated on 3rd day in hospital. I was going to be released so they never did start another one and I had an allergic reaction to something. Not sure what because I've never taken alot of meds and took 4 new meds while in hospital, go figure! Overall I'm happy and couldn't feel better!

Very common! I'm almost 7wks out (monday) and I'm down 34lbs including 11lbs preop. But I'm satisfied. Usually stay the same for a week or so then drop a couple of lbs. Get used to the stalls they come and go! Stay with ur plan and get ready for the journey!
