Sue I did not get one pinkdrink1993@yahoo.com or Lisa Abell pic of a clown thanks

Had surgery in Jan Snohogal and my hair loss has finally subsided and I got 2 hair cuts to boot! It is horrible to experience but it does get better. My hair stylist said we get a double whammy with the Anesthesia then the weight loss. There is a pot of gold at the end of our rainbow, we get to live a healthy happy life. We do go through some things but in the end the WL is well worth it hang in there! You got this.

pinkdrink1993@yahoo.com please add me Lisa Abell Lissa picture of the same one on here thanks

I have not had any caffeine since December 1st that was a gift to myself for deciding my life style change was going to work for me. My BMI officially went from 42.17 to 21.76. Following diet is important for this life changing event. To thine self be true. When you cheat your only cheating yourself. For Snacks I have grapes, Water melon and grape juice. They say that the juice will make you fat but 240 to 124 I beg to differ. Water was becoming horrible so I treat myself to juice. please add pinkdrink1993@yahoo.com to the group if anyone reads this really want to participate in the group. Thanks!! Good luck to all upcoming sleevers!! You got this!! Lisa

Hi everyone hope your having a blessed day!! A FB group could be kept secret as well as closed to people other then this group and you could see updates as they are posted. Less confusing but I also would love to see all phases grouped together so we can support and give direction if people ask for it. :) Congrats on your surgery yesterday sounds as your doing well!

After reading the side effects I would not even think of taking a medication like this : Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as: feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion; chest pain, feeling like you might pass out; swelling in your ankles or feet; pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest; confusion or irritability, unusual thoughts or behavior; feelings of extreme happiness or sadness; or dangerously high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision, buzzing in your ears, anxiety, chest pain, shortness of breath, uneven heartbeats, seizure). Less serious side effects may include: feeling restless or hyperactive; headache, dizziness, tremors; sleep problems (insomnia); dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth; diarrhea or constipation, upset stomach; or increased or decreased interest in sex, impotence. As with any drug or procedure that you decide on for losing weight there are possible side effects these do not happen with everyone. However, each person is different and unique but even the mild side effects of this drug seem too much of a gamble for me. I have seen to many put on more weight then they started taking the drug for. My daughter took it and ended up taking more because after a while she would end up tired and agitated and needed more of it. Just not something I wanted in my life. God bless and good choice on getting surgery instead of snow balling into something that may become a habit.

Congrats on your weight loss and praying for your continued success You got this stay strong I had surgery in January and I know what you mean by your body punishing you. I sometimes struggle by eating too fast. Hope that we both get over this, but at the same time maybe that will keep us on track I am down 120 lbs going back for check up this week! God bless you sweet dreams and angels on your pillows!
