Lorri716 you are doing awesome!! Did you had any complications? I was one of the very lucky ones!! Only normal gas pain at the beginning, no nauseas, I could eat all lean meats with no complications.

I been YoYo dieting for so many years. Back in 2009 I was 270lbs. Our company have a family party every year in October. I remember taking that picture and hiding it cause I felt so ashamed at how big I was. I remember I signed up at the gym ymca and went straight for one year. I lost 80 lbs and unfortunately letting my self get back to 253 lbs.

This year when we went to the party another picture was taken and I got my old picture out. I now have it here at my desk at work to remind myself I don't EVER want to be at that weight again. This time I don't see this journey as a diet is all about changing my eating habits and remind myself everyday to see food as fuel. post-260556-14479469789959_thumb.jpg

My Hair loss has been very bad starting at my 3 months post-op, I was hoping for minimum hair loss since I been eating 90 to 100 grams of Protein daily, taking all my Vitamins and Biotin. Although, I saw some other comments that biotin doesn't help for hair loss it will be more for re-growth. Well I guess is part of the process????

Hi there. So far I've only noticed a strand or two here or there. Nothing real noticeable. I do however have my hair cut short right now, so maybe that's why I'm not noticing it. My day was good, happy to say that my 1 week stall is over and the scale is moving again. I weighed in at 212 this morning. Quite happy about that. Hoping to hit onederland before the end of Dec.

I love Saturdays, my husband and I usually go grocery shopping early in the morning on Saturdays and it has become a habit to buy a rotisserie chicken to eat it when we're back from the store. Well let me tell you it was delicious, I make a guacamole salsa and get 3 oz of the chicken breast and eat it with the salsa.

The leftovers are my lunch during the week. ???????? I'm now here drinking a Protein shake for dinner and if I get hungry later on I will have some cucumbers and jicama with lime.

      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!!
