@@BLERDgirl, thank you or all the information.

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

Looking good girl. Congratulations!

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.

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.

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 :-)

Rfriends, I am sorry that person said that to you. I heRd the same sort of thing myself before surgery. People kept telling me horror stories about weight loss surgery. Well I didnt listen to them. I am doing just fine. You will do great.

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.

That is awesome, I will try it oon as I'm traveling for work next month. Congratulations to s all!

Lessofme, I am wishing you the best. Go straight to the doctor even if its in your town. Someone will find out eventually and that's fine. Do the safest thing. Get us posted.

@@kathy, my hair never shed very much, maybe a few weeks of minimal shedding. I take the ha, skim and nails Vitamin s by Andrew Lessman at HSN. I have taken them for a few years. I think they helped but can't say for sure. The body pump class is lifting light weights for a lot of repetitions. I love it :-)

I finally made it under 180! Just under, but it's a good motivator. I have been in the 180s for over 2 months. The nutritionist told me to add more calories on the days I workout and I think it worked.
Everyone here seems to be doing great. I must admit that during my slow loss, I was getting more carbs than I should. We can do this!

Kathy, that was hair, skin, and nails Vitamins.< /p>

I was sleeved on 10/20, and I am down 50pounds, since surgery. My current weight is 230, and I am 5'11. I have started running. I joined the group cubicle to 5k. I run in intervals. I am currently at run 1 min, walk 30 seconds. I can do a lil over a 13 min mile. I have so much energy now. I am wearing a size 14/16.
I have stopped tracking my food, and realize that is my issue so started back today, I know I have not been getting enough Protein in so working on consciously improving intake. I have also sucked at the Vitamins. I know I know....I have always been horrible with medicine,
I have no idea what my final goal is but I do know I want to be under 200 pounds.
I do wish I can see myself the way others do, I still see the fat girl. My running coach thought I was an athlete....lol! My boyfriend says my legs are muscular and those of an athlete, he said he would have wanted my legs when he played football.....I stare at myself and just can't see what they see.....I know there is a difference because all of my old clothes no longer fit. I just don't know how to get over this hurdle.
Very proud of everyone's success!
