Ah! That's what snow crabs look like. No wonder everyone loves them so' date=' we have something similar here in Australia, sand crabs, but the legs are minuscule, those crabs look awesome!![/quote']

They get really big!!

191 this morning!! Was 193 last week.

I haven't seen a lot of discussion about hair loss with this surgery' date=' but it s one of the side affects I am most afraid of. I have a lot of gray hair so go in for color every six weeks - will I be able to continue that? I am in a position where I have to look and dress professional and just thinking about gray thinning hair is giving me nightmares![/quote']

I'm 4 Mos post op and My hair started falling out at about three mos. I asked my support groups dn they said to up your

Rote in to 80-100 gra,s a dayand take Biotin. I did and I'm happy to say that it is still coming out a little but nothing like it was!! I thought holy shot I'm going to go bald!! But now it's a lot better. Plus my doc said he had never seen a bald bypass patient. Phew!!

I always thought I was big boned too!! I've lost 75 calories and I can say that I really don't think that's true!! My wrists are small' date=' my hands are small and my neck is actually swan like!! My legs are actually looking pretty Shapley and I never have liked my legs!! I'm 191 now and started at 266. I'm in a 14 pants and large top!! I never ever thought that would happen!!! I'm also 4 mos out!! Whoo HOO!!! Loving this new me Nd new life!! I want to loose 25 more lbs to get to a normal BMI.[/quote']

Whoops!! 75lbs!!!

That's funny! Lol

I keep noticing my shoulders - they look downright petite if you don't look a little lower and notice the bat-wings! And is anyone else finding that some chairs are not as comfortable anymore? Evidently we have bones in our butts! Who knew? Lol

I hear you on the shoulders and the butt bones!!

Try upping your calories and Protein. I stall all the time but I am now getting anywhere from 70-100 grams a day and almost 1000 and been loosening like a lb a day the last two days. I am sure I will stall again. It seems to be a pattern with me. I'm almost 4 mos.

Before surgery ~ 298

After surgery ~ 329 (fluids and swelling)

Current weight~ 150

So a total of 179 lbs

(doctor said I wouldn't loose over 105 lbs)

Wow!! That's great!!

Terry' date=' they have a specific portion of the Menu called SkinnyLicious. It's all lean foods and they state the calorie count under each meal.

They even have Splenda cheesecake. I about fell flat on my face with happiness.

OMG.

Has anyone noticed how thin their wrists are getting?? I have thin wrists and collar bones and can cross my legs now! Down from 22 to 14!!

Surgery May 27, 2013 STart weight 266, surgery weight 232 today 192.6.

Great job! There are many more Portland races/ walks ahead! Dropping sizes like that is wonderful!

It is great! I felt wonderful!! I'm doing the Jingle Bell run 5k in December too!! That one will be fun too!! I can't wait to get dressed up in Elf outfit!! Or something like it.

I walked in the Color Run in Portland Oregon last Saturday!! My first one ever in my life!!! Went from a size 22 to 14 and I'm not done!!! Whoo HOO!!!!

Just had to share!! Morning losers!!

Whoo HOO!!

Ya that's always best to ask your doctor. I am just anal that way. It helps me feel in control. It also helps to know what calorie level I'm at so I can make adjustments as needed.

I eat the Fage zero yogurt 1/2 cup it has alot more Protein than other yogurts. I add Splenda and Kashi extra protein crunch Cereal. Yum!

Not cooking for me but my husband needs to eat:)

My husband kicked me out of the kitchen for 4 weeks!! He did all the cooking!!

I count everything! I want to know what I'm getting each day and that us the only way I can do it.

Should i b eating a certain amount of calories though?

My doctor advised to get up to 1000 cal a day now. I'm three mos post op. by year up to 1200 a day.

Lol' date=' what can I say, I have stubborn fat. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I'd stall right at 200. I haven't been <200 since high school! I think they have a pool going at work to see how long it takes me <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6[/quote']

I stalled at 200 for two weeks!! Happy to report that I am now 197.8!! It will go but you might have to trick it!! I ate more calories then dropped it down for a day! Did the trick!!

I'm choking down nectar. I have a chike sample I can try' date=' and I haven't tried Unjury. That's my plan, increase my meals and 2 shakes a day. The plan is still far from reality, but I have to start somewhere![/quote']

One thing I tried was to add orange crystal light to the vanilla one. Tastes like a cream cycle!! You can add things to those shakes to make them better. Some people add those sugar free Torini to them but I never did try it. You will find one that you like hopefully!! The Unjury is pretty good.

That's awesome. I'm 3 months out as well & 79pds down (35 before surgery). Tomorrow is my 3 month doc apt so I wonder what that scale will say.

Congrats!! We are doing awesome!!
