shmily

Mine is still falling out but has slowed some and I will be 8 mos the 26th. The surgeon said sometimes it does not stop till about 8 mos. I have taken biotin since wayyy before surgery but it is not to prevnt loss but rather to help speed regrowth. I have new hair coming in everywhere. I almost lost all my bangs but I have an inch or more of new hair there

Now that it is here and I cannot delete it, I am not going to repost it since men can also look there as well.... LOL

My mom has been gone since 2006.....I wish she was here to worry

I said ladies only but I knew that woudl intrugue you men!!! OK...bottom line....I will be 61 next month, I had surgery Feb 26 and I have lost 86 lbs. I feel like a new woman but....my libedo has hit rock bottom!!! I have only been married almost 8 years this time around and this is so unlike me after massive weight loss.......anyone else??? Feedback please.....my poor husband!!!

Slow lately but I haven't worn this dress since 2008 and it fits better now than then.....down 84 lbs

Would you believe my doctor called in sick so they cancelled my appointment??? I am so much better today though. Thanks

Hi and thanks for the reply, no this is not the first flare up since surgery but for sure the worst. Not being able to do my walks or ride the bike is killing me too, it all works together....better today and see the doc tomorrow. Hoping for it to go away.

Thank you for the one reply. I meant to say BioFreeze...not BioFlex

As much protein as I get I don't know how I could be losing muscles. You too I hope. I don't think I could even get on a massage table.....much less stand to be rubbed and I LOVE massages. Hoping for a better day tomorrow for us both

Surgery Feb and have lost 83 lbs but I had a flareup of the fibromyalga and have ended day 5 of muscle spasms so bad I cannot function. About three days ago, they moved over to one side, like behind my rib cage on my back/left side. I have not been able to do anything, I can hardly get up and down out of the chair..........I have been hot tubbing, using bio flex and got some muscle relaxers from a friend (I know)...they helped a little but I guess if I am not a whole lot better tomorrow I will go to the ER. My doc is 2 hrs away and I can't ride that far, I am not sure I can even get into the vehicle. So depressed from all this...

Thumbs up for the squatty potty

I call those "butt rockets". I eat so much fruit, it makes me wonder what it would be like without it

But how does this work after RNY if we cannot absorb nutrients from food???

I love the Premier Protein bars and they have 30 gr protein but 290 cal. I think only 2 gr sugar. Variety box available at Sams or Costco. I try not to eat a whole one, but carry one in my purse and eat a half if I am traveling and need a lift. I also like the Hydroxycut Bars 18 gr protein and 190 calories

IBS with constipation before surgery. Miralax gassed me really bad so someone here suggested sugar free Milk of Magnesia. I got Walgreens brand, tastes awful so I put the max dosage in my morning smoothie (no pun intended) and works good

Thanks everyone. I saw my surgeon last week for my 6 month check up and he was thrilled. Everything is going well, I will see him at 1 year and he wants me to be at HIS goal of in the 140's......he said "lose all you can, it's like money in the bank". I already have sharpea dog butt and thighs LOL but I am healthy!!!

I started using SF Milk of Magnesia, couldn't find it at Walmart but get the Walgreens brand at Walgreens, taste like $%## so I put it in my smoothie, does not gas me like Miralax did

My doc said Florettes only as the stems can get stuck, same with cauliflower

Pure awesomeness.....

Surgeon asap, something is not right

Surgeon, OB/GYN and NUT asap

Thank you

I have lost 82 lbs and about 60 inches.......I lost diabetes, high BP, high cholesterol, chronic pain & my walking cane !

I eat quite a bit of fresh fruit like apple, grapes, cantalope, fresh pineaple, blueberries, mango, orange. I limit banana because of the high calories and carbs, I just put a few frozen slices in my shake. I buy in season and freeze where I can have them losose in a bag and keep them in the freezer. I also eat fresh peaches as we grow them locally. I am fortunate to have 28 apple trees. I love greek yogurt and cottage cheese and that goes quite well with some fresh fruit.

I am almost 6 months and I still keep it pretty simple. You might try lean lunchmeat ham or turkey etc wrapped on a low fat cheese stick (string cheese) I don't really enjoy meat... check out recipes from theworldaccordingtoeggface.com She has some realy good ones
