Gingerish

5 months out and at 900-1000 cals. I still keep my carbs around the 25-30 range. Protein 60-70

I couldn't swallow big pills, but small normal sized pills were fine.

I lost mine between month 3.5-5 I'd say about half my hair volume. Luckily I have enough hair for like 10 people so it's only noticeable when you touch it. Also it seems to have stopped/slowed considerably recently so I hope that's over. Not fun, but was expected.

I think most people are more familiar with the term "gastric bypass" rather than roux en y

I have been getting this question a lot recently since I have seen a lot of people over the holidays who I don't normally see and it makes me embarrassed and feel so awkward. I try to change the subject or just "quite a bit." Or "I've lost track."

Congrats

Going up and down the stairs to my apartment 5-6 times in a row last night and not getting winded. I could barely make it up once without being out of breath. Success!!

Love Doctor Who! This is an awesome gift

I think I'm losing pretty evenly. My torso has thinned but I still have a tummy pouch I need to work on (exercises) but all my clothes sizes have been shrinking at the same rate.

I haven't weighed myself since last week (wednesday is my weigh day) but I didn't over-indulge on anything. I had mostly protein for the holiday and no desserts. Super proud of myself, I expect to see a slight loss since I've been pretty sick recently, but nothing major. As long as the scale is going down I'm happy.

Congrats! Welcome to the other side :*

Congrats! Me too this morning, the feeling is amazing!

Knew this was coming soon, but didn't expect it quite this soon. Woke up feeling good, decided to step on the scale and BAM! I hit onederland! I haven't seen a weight like this in so long!

My dad was convinced I was going to die and he wouldn't get my body back lol. He pretty much avoided me until I actually left to gave surgery. He apologized after the fact when he realized that I was OK and didn't die or get a disease or anything weird. Lol

I'm down about 60 lbs and most days I still think I'm a lot bigger. I have some good days where I look in the mirror and think "damn, I look good!" When I try on clothes that's when I notice it most, getting used to buying smaller sizes is weird.
