  10. I am so with you!!! I am currently on a shopping trip and don't even want to shop. I don't know where to go, what style to buy, and don't feel good spending money on things that I hope won't ft soon anyway. I'm down 90 pounds with about another 100ish to go so I need new clothing but also still have a ton to lose. I actually hate shopping now. And I sued to love it.
  11. Totally makes sense. I'm also experiencing it after losing 90 pounds. My body shape has changed so much and I'm carrying weight very differently.
  12. I have suffered with anemia for years. Do you have heavy periods? That can be a major cause. Try to find an Iron supplement that works for you - it took me a long time to find one that didn't give me side effects that made me not want to take it. Also, take B12 as mentioned above Yes, you might be getting lots of iron rich foods, but probably just can't eat enough of them with your tiny tummy now. And is women have it worse as we lose each month. Good luck!

  16. Same here! I don't let myself sweat over small gains but daily keeps me accountable and let's me know about a stall quicker so I can bust it.
  17. I have had a few drinks a few separate times. I was a cheap drunk....2-3 over the course of about 6 hours.
  18. You are likely stalled because you ar not eating enough food. Your body is in starvation mode and holding on to every calorie it gets to help you survive. Same thing happened to me. I had to push myself to get 1000 calories a day on a regular basis in order to start losing regularly again.
  19. I'm down just about 90 pounds (about another 100 to go) and feeling great. Weight loss is substantially slow now. Maybe 2 pounds a week instead of what used to be 5-7....but at least it's going in the right direction. Also still constipated at times but less frequently then a few months ago thankfully!!
  20. Almost identical situation here. Started falling out a few weeks post op and at 5 months is still coming out like crazy but o can see some new growth coming in now. I take Biotin religiously! It's super thin. Used to wrap my elastic band around twice, now I need to do 5 times.
  21. I seriously questioned my Dr as to if he had done anything. I caught a cab and went shopping ;8 hours post op! Lol
  22. Stay the course. A stall about 3 weeks post op is totally normal! [emoji3]

  25. That's so smart! Thanks!
  26. My wedding ring is too big and I won't be able to wear it for much longer. It's a good thing cause I'm getting smaller but also a bad thing as I don't want to have it sized multiple times so I will have to go without it for a quite a while until I get to goal

  28. I have been struggling the last two weeks. Lose a bit, gain a bit. But basically stalked for 2 weeks. It's so frustrating. I know it's part of the process and I'm trying not to let it get to me but it's starting to. The only thing my tummy doesn't like right now is almonds. Shrimp is iffy so I've been avoiding it for a few weeks. I'm down just over 60 pounds since Mar 30 and lots of clothes are too big so I've bought a few smaller sizes. My wedding ring is almost too big to wear now too...so not sure what I'm going to do about that! I'm also grumpy at times - the hormones are no joke! From fine to almost crying over nothing. So annoying!
