Good for you Kim. I am from mid Michigan and have been awed and praying for those out searching in this challenging weather.

Good to hear you had a positive meet, RJ.

Catharine Gray...good for you for your persistence. Holidays are rough on everyone! Lots of stuff gets overlooked!

I am 3.5 months out. Started out at about 180 and am down to 150 give or take a couple of pounds. Holidays showed me just how easy it is to return to poor eating, grazing habits. Wine, super diluted, has replaced beer, and Water has replaced diet pop. I walk a thin line of blowing this wonderful opportunity versus embracing it and the good it will bring me!
I still feel hopefull, but am angry with myself for succumbing so easily to bad eating habits.

I am amazed at how thin my hair has become and am thankful for thick hair. I am wearing hats and headbands so I don't get hair in food etc. Saw my dr for three month check and he said it was due to lack of Protein, however, I am getting protein in. I think if it happens it happens. But, I did start 5000 mg of Biotin. I use hairspray to hold everything in but lose enough to plug up the shower. No bald spots but, totally different for me. Hair dries in moments.

Very motivating! You are beautiful!

I tolerated toast early on in the game. 1/2 slice. As what others have said, there are so many other yummy things to eat, that are much healthier, so I just avoid it. I noticed that dry and crunchy is a slider food for me so I really should try to make peace with abstinence.

Thanks for the update, Cowboy. Sorry about the NG tube, but if it works, give it a little caress from your peeps at Bariatric Pal. Will keep you in my prayers.

You have lost 5 pounds more than I did at that time... Not that we should compare but, sometimes it feels good!! I went to dr today for my 3 month. I have lost 27 pounds since day of surgery. Not sure what I list pre op. I could not make eye contact with the scale!
Dr and nurse were pleased with the loss although I was concerned that I had ruined my stomach also...be kind to yourself. Don't give up. Eat your protein!

nprcowboy... How are you doing?

I have been losing SO MUCH hair. Drain plugs up during every shower, and I am wearing hats when I am in kitchen so hair doesn't fall into the family food. The right side of my head is more affected. My weight loss has really stopped also. 4 pounds in 7 weeks, so I have some crap go in' on. I don't have bald spots... Yet. Does this happen?

I had two c sections and total hysterectomy. My sleeve recovery pain was the worst... I think because of scar tissue adhesions from all the surgeries in that region.

I have been in a stall since two and a half months myself. I can't wait to see dr and nut this Monday! Some is of my own doing and some just a stall. I too appreciate the comments.!!

Sigh....I just read this thread start to finish.

I like the syntax nectar Fuzzy Navel. It is not thick. 2 scoops is 200 cal and I drank it all day long. I would mix up two scoops in a Tervis tumbler and then pour over ice which would dilute it.
Premier Protein are good. vanilla and chocolate.

I lost half a pound also after 4 weeks of staying the same. It was awesome!
-
I just looked at my holiday challenge numbers and I was on a 4 week stall. It certainly seemed longer. So many fears that that was all I would lose! But, am feeling more optimistic. Hope you see the scale move soon!!

Hope all went well!!

I would run, not walk, to look seriously into this surgery. I think it is a wonderful TOOL. I am still and wil always struggle with emotional eating but this process has given me hope and success. I had a BMI around 37. I think it is now 29.8. I am 5 feet tall, older, and a slow loser. I have no regrets.
You can reclaim your life and look forward to amazing years with future children.
I would suggest doing your research and medical appointments without involving your mom or anyone who may not get it. It is often a long enough process that you as the patient get the chance to decide if this way of life is for you.
I wish you great success and enjoyment of the whole process!
