Hello everybody, I am still dealing with Hair loss, but have started using lemongrass oil and coconut oil to see if it will strengthen my hair folicles. I had my surgery on 6/24, I am down to 315 lbs, HW 454, surgery weight 419. I am very happy with my results. So many things have changed. I am now working, I was unemployed for a long time due to the weight.I have run into people who I haven't seen in a while...they took a minute to realize who I was...I felt fantastic! I am thanking God everyday for this surgery, my doctors and for giving me the strength to do this.

Ladies at office were very supportive prior to my surgery in June. Now they don't mention it or bring up. Dont know if it's just my head but they treat me different now that I have lost 105lbs. They are kinda snooty to me, and just had my BFF tell me she felt like my success is making her unhappy with herself.

Reduced Body Fat reason for bruising
Body fat is the body's own natural cushioning system. Thin people or people on a quick weight loss plan are more prone to bruises for this reason.

@@nikkimapr Wow, seeing the feed back I'm getting, I think I will definitely stay at my 2/3 cup. Thank you for your response.

I weighed 350 December 2013. Today I weigh 203. I hope these pics are ok. I had trouble attaching them.

Just hit my 5 months post op. Nut still has me at 3 meals a day 1/2C each. No snacking. Mostly each Protein each meal, at dinner maybe bite or 2 of vegie. 2 Centrum chewable a day. Bloodwork came back normal at checkup except having to add a super b complex vit each day.

I started bruising 4 months out. I just had my 5 month bloodwork done, no deficiencies except b1. Not sure why it's happening

Feeling Great! Sleeved 6/23/15

I had surgery May 21st my HW was 298 SW 70 CW 214 looking forward to each new day. First picture day of surgery. Second picture last week.

We have a wedding to go to this weekend. Opened the closet and realized all my dresses were way too big since my June 2015 surgery. So hit the mall. First was amazed I didn't have to shop in Womens section, so that was a change. Then decided I needed new shoes and tried on a pair of calf boots and they fit!!! Never have worn calf high heel boots.

Getting closer to done!
