Jen in SoCal

I was just on this website reviewing an automatic refill on my supplements that I CAN NOT afford this week. I honestly don't remember signing up for the automatic refill program but oh well, the damage is done and my vitamins are on the way to my house. $75 dollars that could have gone in my gas tank! LOL Anywho... I noticed they have a program that sends a text message to your phone to remind you to take your vitamins. What a great idea! Has anyone tried it out yet? It looks like I need to go in my PC to set it up but I was just wondering how dependable it is.

I have just 15 pounds to go till I reach my goal. And bit oh boy are they coming off slowly but I have noticed one thing...two it three pounds lost is so much more noticeable now. Imagine losing three pounds from a 211lb body compared to three pounds off a 139lb body. Huge difference! Just look at these last few pounds as the icing on the cake! You have come so far and now is not the time to feel discouraged. You've had awesome results and you look marvelous!

Mine is too and I think are surgery dates are were very close. I'm really trying not to stress about it but I get so much conflicting advice I'm not sure what to do to make it stop!

Best of luck to you. (((((hugs))))))

OMG your daughter is adorable!!!!! It so awesome to be able to play with your little ones, isn't it? My daughter is 5 and for a few years I avoided taking her to the McDonald's play place because I was afraid I'd have to go in the tunnels after her. Now I just avoided it because their food is garbage and there's nothing there for me to eat! Lol

I think you are such a beautiful woman! :-)

All I can say is WOW!!!! You look amazing!

Hottie!!

I have the same problem. It started when Iost about 40 pounds. I really can't sit for a long time. Luckily for me ( not really) I stand on my job my whole shift. The really horrible thing for me is, and sorry if it's gross, but I can literally FEEL my tailbone ewwww!!!!! My fiancé commented on how I squirm in my seat now. But I can't help it! It's super uncomfortable.

Half a piece of chicken.... Ugh darn spell check!

I don't really think a half a price of chicken will cause your liver not to shrink. DON'T STRESS! You're gonna do great! :-)

The place setting certainly looks festive! Happy birthday!

I flew to Hawaii four weeks out. It was a six hour flight and I did ok. . Just be sure to pack your snacks! Bring powdered protein drink mix with you. And drink lots of water.

This week I'm 151. I kept thinking the scale was wrong. LOL

I think you look amazing! We will never look like we did when we were teenagers and we have to come to terms with that. Our bodies change so much after children and sometimes where we carry our weight shifts. In my opinion you are already at a healthy weight and yes, you are damn sexy! You are doing great!

"uniboob"LOL! You're too cute!

Sure, why not? Are you having trouble eating them?

I read the fine print and it days it stop hair "falling" from breakage. That's not my problem, mine is falling out by the roots. I'm going to save my money and not buy it.

I think I missed weigh in last week. I've lost three pounds since weigh in on Sep 14. It's not much but it's SOMETHING at least. Today I am 156. 21 pounds from goal and 78 pounds lost since last March at my highest weight of 234. I feel like I've lost a lot of inches in those 3 pounds. It's a great feeling.

I just remembered, a word of advice... Don't buy the bariatric advantage shake mix from them. It's so marked up!! You'll pay 75 dollars for what you'll pay 40 on the bariatric advantage website. I learned my lesson the hard way. It's not a hard sell. Just tell them you're not interested.

I got mine for free when I bought some bariatric advantage protein shake mix from my surgeons office. Of course it was $25 dollars more there than on their website so I guess it want really free!

I'm five months post op and my hair has REALLY started to fall out. My hair has always been very fine textured but I had a lot of hair. Now it's just a mess. I used to get compliments almost daily because my hair was so shiny and silky. People would literally walk up behind me and stroke my hair at work! Now my hair is dry and dull and getting so thin! Today I decided it was time to color, lots of gray. I had been putting it off because of the condition of my hair so I bought one of the semipermanent colors thinking it might be safe. Wrong! I was startled and horrified to see how much hair was coming out! It literally looked like someone pulled my weave out when I rinsed my hair. I know all the advice, up my protein, take biotin. I'm doing all of that. Ugh!!!!! I'm so frustrated and I feel a little ashamed that this is something I did to myself. I'm wondering, anyone else that's experienced this, will it stop? Will my hair grow back? I guess I'm just looking for a ray of hope here. Skinny and bald is not sexy! LOL!

I will be 5 months in a couple of days. It's been up and down for me as far as how I've been feeling but I'll tell you right now I'm feeling great! I'm 21 pounds from goal but I only had 99 to lose. It might not sound like much but I've lost 78 pounds so far which is absolutely miraculous to me! I can't believe how much weight you've lost in this amount of time. It's absolutely awe inspiring to me! I was so super excited when I bought size twelve jeans a while back. ( i think they must've ran large) But im bummed to say that I put them on today and they were pretty baggy looking in my saggy but. LOL! My fiancé told me to put on a belt but I don't have one that fits me any more! I'm kind of sad that so e of my favorite clothes don't fit anymore, including the ones that I could never squeeze my pudge in. I've learned my lesson though, I'm not shopping till I get to goal! I wear uniforms at work and I've bought three more pieces and I won't replace the other ones till I get one or two sizes more down.

I experienced this for about two or three months post op. it was crazy! I would sleep in warm pj's and a hoodie and two blankets! I was still shivering. I live in a warm climate so my family thought I was nuts. Im 5 months out now and it seems to have subsided somewhat.
