Made it to the 250's today, 72 pounds down and less than 100 to go!

The look of shock on my friends face when she saw me tonight was amazing. It made me so happy she was so proud of me. I have the most supportive friends and co-workers. I am thankful for that.

Still can't get used to the fact my thighs no longer touch when I walk...can't even remember when that was last possible..l.before high school?
-
Bought a handful of smaller clothes yesterday to get me by for a bit. Great feeling being down from a 32 to a 22!

Surgery tomorrow...eeeeek!

Hello 240's! Haven't seen you in decades.

First visit with the PCP today, a month out from surgery. Off BS meds immediately after surgery and she is reducing my HBP meds. Did bloodwork to check cholesterol...will see when results come in. Feeling great!

I am still finding it hard to believe that I actually gave up my diet pepsi and all caffeine. That was the greatest step for me. But I guess as far as food the hard thing to give up for me is bread but I know I can never have it again and will trade that any day for a small pair of pants....lol The big job for me now is to learn how to cook differently. Pintrest is my friend these days.

And the hair shedding has begun...good thing I have really thick hair lol

The biotin CAN make the hair grow back faster but it will not prevent hair shedding. I am told by my NUT that this just happens as the body adjusts to the suddenly lower calorie intake and the rapid weight loss. I make sure I get all my protein in every day which is all you can really do. Some people don't experience the shedding at all and some really do. I am a heavy shedder anyway so I knew this would begin for me at some point. I would rather be skinny than have every strand of hair I currently have. lol I know I will come through this fine, just don't want any clogged drains and vacuums! I already have two dogs that shed lol
-
Thanks Ladies for this info. I will just have to wait and see what happens when I get to that point. But at least now I know that it might happen and why. I hope you both get hair back and in the way you like it. I love curly hair and have to curl it each night. So if I did lose any and it came back curly that would be a nice surprise for me. You are both doing great with weight loss. I go tomorrow for my 1 month weigh in of 6 months of the supervised diet. I hope the DR is happy with my weight loss.

So the peach has shrunken a bit, made it to 100 pounds down and and it through Thanksgiving! Had to have gallbladder surgery on the 19th so have been a bit tired. Been absent for a bit and thought I would drop in for an update.

Thank you ladies! And yes, I have decided there is nothing I cannot do as every day I must make good choices. Good to know I can even when temptation is at its highest. In response, yes I haven't skipped a beat without my gallbladder. Just some discomfort but I am doing great and continuing to lose. The nice thing )if there is one lol) is that our WLS dietary changes are the same as for gallbladder surgery so no major changes on that front!

9 months post op and the loss is so agonizingly slow but is still happening. I have always said I am in this for life so trying to stay focused.

Got the opportunity to meet Kelly Clarkson last night before her concert here in Atlanta. When I looked at my pic with her, I am very close to her size. An eye-opening moment. This journey is incredible!
-
Down 69 pounds and I still hate exercise...ugh I tell myself sweat is fat crying but so far my sweaty body says "yeah not so much" Started weights yesterday, I am determined to do this!

You CAN do this!!! How else are you going to exercise your heart muscle....LOL!!! Let's leave sex out of this
Now that' you've started weights, try not to let any small weight increases bum you out because it is just part of the process that our bodies go through. Increased muscle tone = increased metabolism = more #s lost = more inches lost (not necessarily in that order). You're doing great!!!!
