I'm down from 236 to 174. That puts me down 62. I'm very happy!!! I'm also concerned I haven't lost in a month possibly 2 months. I think I have made to many allowances. I'm nervous I stretched my stomach, is that possible ? I started to lose hair, no bald spots but my brush has a lot of hair feel like I'm shedding. I've been focusing on my Vitamins and feel the hair situation is getting better but not thick.

I don't think you've done anything to your stomach- you're saying you've been making too many "allowances". I would have to say that's your issue, probably. But get back on the wagon- you can do this! As for me, I am down 93 lbs since surgery and down 123 total. Been stalled for a couple weeks now. I have a hard time getting motivated to exercise and I also have been getting a little too "comfortable". Not really overeating, but not watching everything like I should. Back on the program this week and fasting 2 days (yesterday) and tomorrow. I just started a new job, so everything has been a bit of a challenge...how's everyone else?

What does fasting for two days do? What does that mean ? Not eating? I feel the same as you not over eating so much but not watching what I eat. I've heard that some people do a liquid diet for a week. What works for u?

I am down from 296 to 184 today! That is down 112 pounds!!I am very happy but I am starting to realize that if I get too comfortable then I don't loose as much! This past month I only lost 5 pounds! I am a teacher so starting school and work again is always stressful! I am thinking positively thought because I feel like what this past month was like is kid of what maintenance will look like and I didn't gain so that is good! Keep up all the hard work and as for the hair shedding I am having the same problem! I got a Biotin supplement and have been taking those! I have found that three a day is about what I need to slow the hair loss!!! I have super thick hair so I am ok for now but I worry that if I keep losing hair that will change! Paranoid about my hair!!!

I'm down 66 pounds post-op and 94 pounds in all, but I'm still considered obese! So, I have some work to do...to the tune of 60-80 more pounds to lose! My weight will then be normal to overweight... Anyway, I'm quite happy with my progress.????

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
