I think you are doing great! I feel like my loss has slowed allot. I always worry this is going to be as far as I can go.

I have been sick the last month with kidney issues so I haven't worked out. Today I weighed myself and it's says I am up a pound from last Friday. I don't get it!!

Don't be jealous beautiful! I'm really not doing much a little exercise around my house and I walk a lot. To be honest my diet isn't the greatest because I can eat anything and it doesn't get me sick except sugar oh does sugar get me sick and goes right through me and that's no fun. But I eat pretty much anything but in portions. I have only lost about 90 lbs since surgery and I had my surgery on August 6 so actually you're doing better than I am cause yours was on the 26th! Just keep doing what you're doing michele1az where do you love? There should be support groups you can go to! I am in az and I need to start going to to these support groups but I haven't . You're doing great tho! Don't get yourself down! Anytime you wanna talk tho message me on here

Officially am down 80lbs now. I went to the gym today and walked a little over a mile and a half on the treadmill. I plan on keeping up with working out daily. Tonight is my monthly support group meeting. I am taking a friend with me that is planning on having VSG. She went with me last time. It's nice having people to talk to that have been or are going through what I am. That's why I like this group!

Right on schedule! It sucks but it's worth it. Biotin hasn't been proven to stop Hair loss. The shock of surgery and sudden extreme weight loss causes it and everyone experiences it to some degree or another - from mild to severe. Mine started at 4 months and is finally slowing at 8 1/2 months. I have baby fine hair to begin with so it REALLY feels thin now! Avoid harsh chemical treatments, use gentle good quality hair products, and maybe try a new hairstyle. Some people go shorter (like me) to help disguise the hair loss. Keep taking biotin - supposedly it helps with hair and nail health so maybe it'll help make your hair healthier when it starts filling in again.

Don't get discouraged! If someone told me I'd lose over a hundred pounds by shaving my head I would've done it! It's only temporary! :-)

Yea i have thick hair in a few week my patch will be ok lol and then ill get it cut off again

[shouser531 9]

I also cut my hair because of Hair loss. I've always had long thick curly hair and loved it but it was starting to get so thin at the ends it didn't look good so I got it cut to my shoulders.

[mzshay35 215]
