You look wonderful!

Hello Jen, and everyone,

I go for my 1 year app on the 28th of this month. I am currently at 174 and would like to get to 160. It's been a struggle the last few months. I'm happy everyone is doing so well.yay

Holly, the sleeve has been good to me but my friend had the bypass and got to goal in six months. Just putting it out there.

Lol, double post.

I totally understand. Good luck. Are you getting the sleeve or gastric bypass?

Hsbower,

I didn't have a waiting period. I just had to have a review of my medical records proving my weight for the last 3 years.

I have blue cross

Hsbower, why r u going to a surgeon in Richmond

I had my surgery with Dr. Terricina as well. I had no issues.

Well I think a lot of is have PCOS. I think this is why we have been a little slower to lose. I did hit a lot of stalls along the way and it was very frustrating. I did go to the nutritionist and talk to them they really never said PCOS makes tou stall more but I think it does. Are you eating or dring much dairy? That seems to stall me. We can exchange numbers if you like. I am not sure how to do that privately. I'd love to talk to someone in the area going through the same journey.

I had my surgery October 7th 2014. My starting weight was 234 pounds I did not have a pre op diet. I now weigh 171 pounds. I have been a bit of a slow loser but I'm okay with that. I am still hoping to lose 15 more pounds and then have plastic surgery for a Tummy Tuck and a breast lift. Do you go to weight loss support group meetings and how do you like those. The couple I have gone to have not been great but they are okay.

Can you tell me your start weight and where you are now?

So when did you have your surgery?

I've gone to support meetings at Mary Immaculate hospital in Newport News . 1st Thursday of the month at 6pm.

I'm from Hampton VA

Looking good girl. Congratulations!

Heads look bigger, lol.

I have relaxed hair and had some shedding between months 3-6 but not a lot. Just take your Vitamins and make sure your Iron isnt low. If you are anemic, you will definitely lose a lot of hair. Best if luck to you all.

I am 50 and took one week off, never had pain or any issues. I am a slower loser but feel and look great. Good luck in your journey.

I don't think I can meet the weight chart recommendation of 130 - 140

I have a lot of skin om my stomach. Twins and 3 c sections. I am trying to get to 155. Good luck everyone.

Twinmom, wow size 8!

I had my surgery on October 7 2014 240 pounds now I weigh 178. I am 5"3 and wear a very loose 12. My surgeon wants me to lose 30 more pounds but I am struggling. He said it will be difficult but its possible :-) I am 50 and he said thats slows the kids being older I want to lose at least 20 more pounds to get my Tummy Tuck :-)

Twinmommiesrock, how has your journey been? I am also a mom of twins :-)

Lol, I don't like dumping.

I have noticed if I eat a high amount of carbs at one time say for instance a donut smile. I tend to have something like a drop in my blood sugar where I feel very dizzy and sweaty for a few moment I'm not sure why that is happening I guess maybe I shouldn't eat donuts. Has anyone else had this issue if so let me know thanks.

I have had a lot of energy. I had labs at 4 month and they came back very good. My Vitamin D level and my Vitamin B12 were very high. I will have labs again at the end of June to see how things are doing I was a little bit of me Nick but not very much so and I am taking Iron tablets now. I am starting a new workout regime at the gym so hopefully that will help it starts on Monday good luck and keep me posted.

I am happy you are doing so well after the fall. Can you tell me your average meals and calories for a day? I am stuck it seems.

that is wonderful news I hope everything goes well with your move good luck in the future.

Totaloser, that is great news. Please tell me your starting stats.

Cornhusker, that is awesome! Everyone is doing so well. I'm hoping to reach my goal by one year as the weight hasn't been moving that quickly. Thanks for the inspiration everyone.
