Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

Its been 8 weeks and 1 day since my surgery and including my 10 day preop diet, i am down 30#'s, but the best part is i am in actually in onederland!! Its going what I feel is slow, but its going :-)

I started the biotin before surgery...I take 1000mcgs daily. I don't kno if it helps metabolism though. The dr recommended that I take it so...

Are you taking a chewable form of Biotin, or just the regular tablets? I've only been able to find them in 300mcg- are you just taking several of the 300mcg, or have you actually found a 1000mcg tablet/chewable?

Thanks!!

Marymouse (loving the name!), I've noticed that when I work out the weight moves faster. I do NOT enjoy it, but I noticed even last week I got in a lot of unintentional excercise as I was on vaca (went to an amusement park and swimming in the pool) and I've lost 10 lbs in the past week and half! It has not come off this fast since weeks 1-3! Im at 9 weeks now. I'm spreading the exercise news like its gospel...ha ha.

7 weeks out as of tues and im down 48lbs

I've had whole milk in a tiny bit if rice krispues and let them get soggy and it was fine.

7 weeks tomorrow since surgery...finally starting to sleep more (anesthesia gives me insomnia) and just found out have to have another surgery to remove 2 golf ball size masses in ovary.....this will be third anesthesia in less than 5 months (had kidney stone surgery end of Nov). In cry mode tonite just ready to heal..sleep well...get back to all activities. Hopefully it will go well and won't have to remove ovary....thank goodness for vacation and sick pay.
