Don't compare yourself to other people byebyefat. Your journey is yours alone. Since my last reply I'm down about another 15 lbs. The total is about 46 now since my 9/14 surgery. How your doing well. I am exercising more now. The wit is coming odd showy and that's fine with me. My SW was 234. My CW is 187. Don't want to lose much more. I feel great. My hair is coming back. I was low in Vitamins A & K. Was laying hair by the handfuls but now I think it's normal again and my hairdresser told me today she sees lots of regrowth. Thank Gawd! How is everyone doing? I haven't been on here in a while.

I'm in. thumbs up

246.2 :-\

I switched my surgeon, the insurance coordinator from my Dr's office, did all of the phone calls and paperwork, and I had no delays , I switched after I got approved 2 and half weeks prior to surgery, I was sleeved

On this day exactly one year ago, I had my first consultation with my surgeon. (I picked the only surgeon I ever consulted with. I had done a ton of research online before.) I was terrified and almost backed out. I weighed in at 322.6 pounds. This morning I weighed 204.8 pounds. I just got an email from my NUT (after meeting with her yesterday) saying that I have lost 64% of my excess body weight (not sure exactly how that is calculated) and telling me I am officially NOT obese. My diabetes is in remission. I have actually taken a boxing class (which almost killed me but I did it.) I have actually been referred to as "skinny" by a few people (though they are a bit biased as I am far from skinny). Oh and I am unemployed after a layoff. (Not at all WLS related but certainly a shock and hanging on to the hope that it is a blessing in disguise.) I can honestly say that on this day last year, I could NEVER have imagined this is where I would be on this day. I can't wait to see what next year will bring...

Any update on this, @@Alex Brecher?

Hi all, this is my first post - I just had my pre-op appointment and my surgery was changed from January 26th to February 9 - the emotional roller coaster is definitely no fun but everything happens for a reason.
I do have a question, did anyone where individual lashes during surgery or will I need to have them removed? Thanks in advance ????

thank you, my calories have never been above 1, 000 but twice in the last 4 months and I meet all my protein and Water goals and exercise , I truly don't understand what's wrong with me that I'm not losing weight

So me # 7 and # 9 is a detox that will clean out your system and flush parasites,wastes and fat out of your system and strengthen your liver.
Google it.
Sonne # 7 and #9

Your thyroid may be an issue .Also a holistic dr prescribed Sonne # 7 and 9 detox.

Once you detox you will be fine.The Sonne detoxification will help.

Thank you☺

What a JERK!! Sorry you were treated that way. It is disgusting.
Regarding stall with Constipation my nutritionist said to take Vitamin they want me to take (Opurity) one day and next day a Multivitamin with low to no Iron. Keep doing this and it worked. No more constipation. We figured it was the Iron and once constipation ended the weight stall ended. Another thing that helped constipation is lying in bed, rub your hands together to warm them up and then rub your stomach in circles, starting around belly button and then get bigger around whole stomach. Do 50 circles total. Be firm but not too hard and this helped me as well. Sounds silly but it works.
I hope things get better for you but DO NOT let the Dr discourage you and keep up the good work!

Your surgeon sounds like he is lacking in the bedside manner department. I don't think you are a failure but there is something wrong here. What is your daily calorie intake? You should still be below 1,000 a day and exercising a minimum of 20- 30 minutes day. Where are you getting your Protein? I was 220 when I had my surgery in 2010 and I averaged around 10lbs a month for the first six months.

It is sonne detoxifant.I am going to order some today.
