What size are you now?
When I started I was 26-28 pants and 3-4x tops, surgery in October. Right now, 20 pants and 1-2x tops. Feels great!!

The shedding has started....not the lbs, but the HAIR...
Ughhhh, my hair has started shedding. Hopefully since my hair is so dang thick, it won't be noticeable. Been getting in as much Protein as possible and taking Biotin 2x a day. Any other suggestions. Has anyone used Nioxin Shampoo/Conditioner??

Weight loss and stalling
Just look at all you have accomplished in 6 months! 100LBS, girl that is awesome!! Just clear your mind, try a protein shake week or a liquid diet week, see if that helps. I know stalls are frustrating, but they're gonna happen, just go with the flow, you've come so far.

whats the deal with caffeine?
I started back on coffee about 6 weeks out. My Nutritionist said caffeine is ok, just in moderation since it is a diaretic (however you spell it). I have one cup of coffee (regular, not unleaded) a few times a week. I got a Kureg for Christmas with a box of Kcups, but I think once those are used up I will switch to decaf. And I do use sugar free french vanilla or hazelnut creamers and splenda in mine, and it is just yummmm.

Insomnia
My first month or so after surgery, my sleep was off. I would wake up more often thru the night. I am 3 months out and sleep pretty well now. I have "upped" (is that a word lol) my workouts now, so I do sleep alot better. I think it just takes your body/brain a while to adjust to everything.

Boobies!
I was a 46C, right now I'm a 42C, but could probably go down another band size, just don't want to spend the money yet lol.

shopping
When I started I was in a tight 26 too... this weekend I actually bought two pair of pants from Old Navy in a 20, I was so happy!! I have also found some good consignment stores in my area, with great prices that has helped...
