Hair loss started big time today. Coming out in chunks. :(

Went to my clinic's support group meeting last week. Speaker was sales rep for Bariatric Advantage. He said also Zinc plays a role as well in hair loss. The have a new multi vitamin that has been formulated just for RNY patients. New to the market in August. The chewable is coming in November.

I take chewable prenatal vitamins and biotin, a few weeks after I switched to a prenatal. It help. Nails and hair growing and stronger.

Well today was my 3 month follow-up. I'm not doing as well as many/most of you. I am down 46lbs by their scale (48.4 by mine but who's counting?) so I missed the 50 - 60 lb goal so I'm bummed and beating myself up today. I can give a slew of excuses and I know I need to get to exercising more' date=' and drink more fluids.

Dr was not discouraged tried to tell me I've lost 42% of my anticipated loss but I'm still wallowing in self-pity. I feel good, my blood pressure is down, I've thrown out my first pair of fat pants so it's stupid I am crying about 4 lbs but I'm so upset about it. New goal is 30 -40 lbs in the next 90 days.

Thanks for the long whiny post.[/quote']

Girl. I am in the same boat! I go for my 3 month on Tuesday and so far I am down 41lbs. Don't feel bad, that is what I keep telling myself. Eventually I will get to my goal. I already feel a ton better.

Thanks graceann! I decided just to say I was having a weak day and blame the.doldrums on estrogen released from weight loss ( sounds like a good excuse right?) Like you, I'm feeling better and like another forum cheerleader reminded me (baconville) there are more tools to measure success than just a.scale! So let us know how your follow up goes. We're in this together!

What brand of chewable prenatal vitamins? I've been using a sublingual biotin but its huge and I don't think it's doing much.

I had to break down and buy myself some new panties...the old ones were fitting like bloomers. I feel so sexy in my new smaller panties, even if they are cotton haha...can hardly wait to fit into Victoria's Secret.

PS: also bought myself a bra two sizes smaller (but only lost one cup size)

Preop weight 389 current weight 314...that's 75 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13
