Agreed. I want to stay healthy through this experience, so my levels are a big priority for me. I have noticed I haven't had any hair loss like most wls patients. In fact, my hair seems extra healthy since the first of last month. This could be due to my loss being slower than others. I've averaged 10 pounds a month, a little over half way to goal. I see you weigh around 140. That would be perfect for me, too.

That's interesting. I began losing hair at about 4 months out and it went on for a good year.

I better change my stats. I haven't weighed 140 since about 14 months out. I seem to hold around 120. When I'm ill or not hungry (I still try to get down my Protein but not much else) it can go to 114. When I'm good, though, it's between 120-123.

Oh, I see. My stats say I lost around 140, lol.

I read your stats wrong. Whoops. I took a look at your photo timeline link; you're tiny! Good news: I got the results of my blood work this morning and all levels are normal. That's comforting. I'm a little lightheaded every now and again because I have low blood pressure (a family trait), but other than that, I feel great. I even managed to lose a pound this week, despite the big turkey day meal. I love my DS.

Good job.

I ate a ton of turkey. Protein = DS👍🏻

BTW, a side effect of the DS is often low blood pressure and low pulse so there’s that, too. I often have to tell that to PAs when they take them or they worry bc my BP is low. Or they think I’m a runner.
