5mths Post Op 100lbs GONE!

Well I'm 20 wks post op and lost 100lbs, which I'm very excited I hit my first goal two weeks shy of my birthday. I still have about 60-70lbs still I want to lose, hopefully by Summer a majority of it. I was wondering with exercise if anyone has tips on fitting them in to a hectic schedule. I have four kids 2 of which are under 4yrs old and a full time job, so trying to find something that I can do at home and maybe kids can join in.

Also any tips on hair loss, I know its at its worst between 3-6 months. I'm so thankful I have (well had) very thick curly hair b/c if not I would be in trouble the way it comes out and how frail it is now.

Thanks for any help and info!

    Congrats on your 102 weight loss!!! I am pre-opt right now, so I am not dealing with the hair loss yet. However, they have put me on a multi-vit. and told me to take biotin now. I also use shampoo

Protein, Protein, Protein.... I noticed once I ate my designated amount or a little more I was dropping weight :)

Als running after my 4 kids everyday!

That is fabulous!!! Congratulations on your success.

You are doing so great that I can't imagine any tips you would need.

But for an activity with the kids, volley ball or badmitten might be fun and not very expensive.

Congrats! I had a rough 2 weeks myself...you just gave me a boost!

Wow! You have is what you have accomplish Success! So wonderful. You are an inspiration!

Congrats.

You're awesome, thanks for sharing your success so far! I'm having a lot of hair loss too, I just picked up some hair/nail vitamins, hope it helps. 4 kids, full time job, & exercise... wow, I think I would try DVD that can be put on anytime you want & the kids can jump around with the music.

Wow, that is awesome. As for working out, why not use your children to help. You can play (workout) with them, like doing grab them by their ankles and do arm curls, or airplane rides to work the arms; put your feet on their chests and lift them up in the air and do reverse squats, things like that. I always loved playing with my daughter when she was little, cause I always got a workout with it. Good luck!!

I am pre-opt right now, so I am not dealing with the hair loss yet. However, they have put me on a multi-vit. and told me to take biotin now. I also use shampoo and conditioner with biotin in it. Since I've been using them my nails grow like crazy, and my hair is soft and strong!!
