Okay its been a long 3 months Had my Surgery feb 20th, and for a while there I was stuck at 210lbs Didn't matter what I did. I forced the Protein in drank more Water and went for longer walks and IM FINALLY UNDER 200lbs!!! I haven't been under 200lbs in 10 years.
But here is why I'm really here today- is anyone else having the dreaded Hair loss? my hair is falling out and breaking worse then a golden retriever in sheading season. I've been taking Biotin even prior to surgery. but my hair has become soo thin.
Ticks and trips that work? things you've read online? or am I rocking a ponytail for the rest of my days to come?

You're totally the unofficial Feb cheerleader! thanks for keeping us motivated!
Ive been missing these weigh ins because I'm complacently discouraged with myself. think its 3 weeks now and im dancing between 213-210
SD: Feb 20th, 2018
SW: 249lbs (or somthing close to that...so many numbers)
CW: 210...ish
GW 140-150 (although right now i just want to be under 200)
Back at work and doing well, i think work has me more on tract back on a kinda schedule, pushing Protein this week really hoping to hit those goals and see if i can push though this stall.

Thank you for that, youre right 42lb is an achomplishment but im discuraged becuase most of it was on the liqued diet preop.
Im marching forward but god this is mentally exhausting

Oh okay so im not crazy and didnt miss somthing...plus somone needs to be in chargesand keep us on track lol

Why didnt i think of this! Doing it today! Im day 5 of 14 days of Optifast. The not normally a chocolate fan but tries it yesterday and its so much nore bareable then the awful vanilla. Not sure what skinny syrup is but i know where to find mio! Thanks for the idea

Stuck at 215 myself 4 weeks post op. Havent killed anyone yet. Down 42 lbs but i am going to buy a new scale if this one doesnt start moving! Ans it knows it! Lol

Some days i feel hungry somendays i forget to eat.

*hugs* back at ya. I really dont know girl i feel like.sobbing right next to you. Doing my best doesnt seem good enough and its my compelte focus right now as im not even back to work yet.
This weeks focus is Protein see what i can do here

Okay guys, amost 1 month post op. And for about a week ive been stuck at 215lbs. 1 week ago i started pureed diet tolerating foods and now im not loosing anything which is really discouaging me ( maybe discourages the wrong word but upsetting would be a good word) starting yo feel gulity putting anything in my mouth like i shoulf remain on liqueds. Carbs are low, sugar free averaging about 500-600calories a day. Portine could be better but im averaging 30-40g a day.
I cant have done all this to only loose 42lbs.

Oh okay so im not crazy and didnt miss somthing...plus somone needs to be in chargesand keep us on track lol

Not many ppl know about mine either. Didnt know wed weigh ins was a thing! I shal hope on board next week!

Had my raux rny on feb 20th ans im still i hosp..pain is VERY managable. But i am beyond nauseated walking around but its not helping much likely going home. Tomorrow

Mine is coming up on Tuesday Feb 20th, definitely starting to freak out. This liquid diet has been a bit rough but manageable as in my head i know its only temporary i fear the pain and discomfort. Keep us posted on how youre feeling!

Im going to bed early tonight...sleep though the hunger pains. (Yes im being dramatic) 13 days to go!

Day 1 of optifast...luckily im at work so a bit of a distraction but i would be lying if i didnr say i was hungry

Its supportive words like this which are making my count down a little easier. The support in this community is unbelievable. 16 days to go, food funeral this weekend... not what i thought it would be. I'm terrified but I'm ready!

Thank you! Trusting the procsess

Thank you fpr taking the time. This is excatly what i need to hear!

Feb 20th for me!

Feb 20th for me!

I'm a little confused, I went to my family doctor recently to talk about gastric sleeve. She agreed that she liked the research i had put in to it and refereed me to the Ontario Baratric network. After some ups and downs i finally got an orientation date Nov 30th. I got my info package in the mail today and it says "thank you for contacting us about gastric bypass sugrey" Someone else on this website said they just dont do sleeves in Toronto. Now i really much rather not have to pay for sleeve operation, but all my research has been there. for some reason bypass scares me even more then a sleeve.
has anyone else gone though this? has anyone convinced them to do a sleeve anyways?
Kinda sad and confused...

I use to live in the beaches! Small world!

We are practically neighbours. I'm in the beaches

This kind of sounds wonderful. Somtimes i dont feel full. I just ate dinner and still want more. So it will be nice to have some restriction. So i dont eat as much, i think its gonna take some training in my part to eat slower and still make better choices. But if i see weightloss i wont be as discouraged. I really hope i can get this all sorted out soon. Seems like the waiting list is long here in Ontario Sent from my SM-N920W8 using the BariatricPal App
