Ok Mandi, You started this!

We could use this thread for September's goals.

I would like to lose at least 8 lbs.

I will exercise at least 3 times a week.

I will be careful not to eat junk food. I better hurry and eat the cheese Crunches I bought today. I have 2 days to get rid of them. :hungry:

Good Luck to everyone in September!!

ahhhh.... sounds nice! Can I come with you next time?

Don't worry, you didn't miss too much!

Absolutely!!! You, Cloe, her daughter and anyone else who wants to come. It's so peaceful amongst the mountains and the lakes. You would all love it.

WOW, your hubby made out like a bandit for his b'day!!! Yay him!

Yeah, he said he felt pretty spoiled... he deserves it.

Well, now I'm getting depressed. I haven't lossed any more weight since the week after my surgery and now my hair is falling out. I told my husband not only am I fat, now I'm going bald:mad: . I thought that I could deal with some hair loss if it meant that I would be thinner Agh!!!!:think

*hands over some duct tape*.

I hear it works for everything; smack some onto that scalp of yours!!!

Okay, seriously though.....don't worry.....it'll stop before too long and the weight will come off eventually too. It WILL be worth it in the long run. Don't get discouraged.

I know it may be easier for me to say since I didn't have any significant hair loss. I know I did have some but my hair is so damn thick it was a blessing in disguise. But just hang in there!!

Hey Wheezy, why don't you e-mail the Doc, there usually pretty good about responding. Tell em just what you told us, see what he say's. If it's getting you down, don't let it go, cause it might become a vicious circle(at least it does with me). Let us know!!

Your holiday sounds wonderful, Wheezy, and I am envious!!!

I've got a crazy idea about your current problem. Both my friend who is a teacher and my brother who is a doctor say that they gain weight when they are working even though they eat the same. They claim that this is caused by stress. My teacher friend says that stress is very fattening! Are you feeling any stress? Could this be interfering with the band? Stress can also cause hairloss. This same friend of mine lost a bunch of hers while she was going through a stressful episode.

Do get in touch with the TLBC about lack of weight loss.

Wheezy you might be on a stand still for 2 or 3 wks. Then you will start losing again. Be patient. My hair is getting thinner too .

Wheezy, we are in the same boat! not losing fat but losing hair! whaassup with that? it's kinda depressing since i have thin hair already, and a great big scar on my head from ear to ear ( a car accident when i was young).

Thanks for all the encouragement. I will give it one more week and if there is still no weight loss, I will contact the Dr.

Green, am I stressed? That's an understatement. It's so stressful at work, I would really like to tell them to kiss my butt and walk out of there and never return.

Oh Yeah, remember that crazy lady I work with, she is sweet as pie to me. What the f....ck, what a psycho. It's like she never did anything. I find that scarier than if she was still flipping out.

Cloe, did you try a product for hair loss, if so did you find anything that worked?

Hi Louise

No I never did get anything. My hairdresser kinda talked me out of it. Said it was a waste of money, for something hormonal. I dunno. I'm still really thin, but I think it's slowed down a bit, or at least thats what I'm telling myself right now. It is scary, isnt it?

Wheezy, talk to your doc about the stress. Maybe he or she can help. Who knows? The fact that the psycho is now doing a 180 is not going to relieve the stress of being around her. You are simply waiting for the other shoe (work boot) to fall.

Yup, your right. Don't know when she will freak out again. The name of the game is avoidance. Stay as far away as possible. I will take your advice into consideration about the doc thing.

I thought it was going to be smooth sailing. At least that's what Dr. M lead me to believe. Because of the problems, swelling and lots of pain post-op, Dr M told me that it was likely that I would probably have an easy time to find my "sweet spot". He said that 1 fill would likely do it. Well I'm a little over 2 months post-op and will schedule my 3rd fill! I am calling the clinic tomorrow to arrange it in Ottawa. Dr M wanted me to have my fills in Mississauga, but he doesn't have to do the long drive. It takes 12 hours to drive to Mississauga and back as opposed to only 2 hours to go to Ottawa. I could make it a shopping day. It could actually be enjoyable! Hope the clinic agrees that I can have it done in Ottawa. Wish me luck
