Minimel got a reaction from kar12345 in Hair Loss
Mine started at 2 months and quit at 9. Fortunately I have enough hair for 2 people so it wasn't traumatic for me but it was unsettling to see so much hair in the drain after a shower. Only took regular bariatric supplements. My dr said nothing would keep it from happening. My eyelashes were already very thin (I'm 61 and that's normal) but I started using latisse which is rogaine for eyes. Works beautifully.

Minimel got a reaction from Dashofpixiedust8 in WAS TOTALLY AGAINST PLASTIC SURGERY UNTIL I WOKE UP....
Mine just keep getting longer but I think I'll just keep slinging them up with a bra. My arm wings on the other hand have got to go.

Minimel got a reaction from RockDaisy in Conflicted feelings about losing weight and sudden change in how others treat me
I agree our attitudes have a lot to do with it but I can't help be a little pissed off when someone says "now you can date again". I must have been horribly undeserving when I was fatter. But...it is an ego booster when the vet walks into your cat's appointment and says "wow, you're pretty- I mean that's a pretty sweater"

Minimel got a reaction from Dashofpixiedust8 in Surgeon says I should only focus on losing 50-70% of excess weight -Boo!
@@careya123
We could be twins. My goal is to shop in normal size stores and departments which I reached a month ago (within 6 months post surgery). I'm only at 60% of my EBW and people are asking if I really want to lose 40 pds more. I know I do but I'm not panicked about this stall. Yet...

Minimel got a reaction from ginabee38 in ADD and struggles with weight loss...
I do have ADD. Weighed 200 when I was diagnosed and started meds. Weighed 250ish when I had to quit meds because of blood pressure. I think it probably contributes to poor impulse control but I can't point to anything else specific that it effects.

Minimel got a reaction from lelewatson in Grazing
Well, I'm a grazer and not all that concerned about it. I build my grazing habits into my fitness pal daily plan so that I stay within my limits. I'm officially down 60 pds today since 2/29/16 and am very happy with my progress towards my 100 pds goal.

Minimel got a reaction from JAM72 in Anyone starting weight at 200 lbs? Help :)
I was where you are now 20 years ago and ended up at 271 (290 at my heaviest) with high blood pressure and cholesterol and blood sugar. If I had realized where I was going to end up, I'd've done this then. I was sleeved on 2/29 and am down 42 pds. I'm losing 2 pds a week (NOT keeping my carbs under 50 grams) on just under 1,000 calories a day. Blood pressure is normal and not on any meds. I'm completely satisfied with what I eat and 8 pds a month is perfectly fine with me. My advice is to go for it now before you end up where you really don't want to be.

Minimel got a reaction from heidikat72 in What to eat
I got a food saver and I love it. It's impossible to cook our sized meals so now I make an entire roast or pork tenderloin and divvy it into small portions and vacuum seal them for the freezer. They keep forever and I have lots of variety cuz I don't have to eat what I cook for a whole week now.
