he, he...you girls are funny!

God is good ALL the time...you've got that right!!! Saying a prayer all goes well!

Valentine's Day here you come!!! I'll say a prayer that you have a great surgery and a quick recovery...Cant wait to see your post -op posts!

Great to hear about your success. I am sure your post will encourage someone struggling!

Oh I dont think I followed the directions...So for the same month and year we have: Dec '10 238.5

Dec '10 with my 111.5 we are at a total of.... 515.5 Pounds

For me....I started to lose it at 3 months out in clumps...like I was having radiation. By 4.5 months I was really freaking out so I got my hair cut short so it seemed like less...It continued to fall out at a steady pace until 8 months. Everyone is different but I have found that even now if I dont get enough protein for more than 2 days in a row my hair falls out. So most important for me is protein but I also take a supplement from GNC called B-beautiful. I buy them when they are on sale buy one get one free. I have noticed a difference in my hair regrowth since but it took about 3-4 weeks to make a difference. It also makes my nails grow like crazy and is great for my skin:) My hair stylist says she can see the regrowth coming but it is way slower than pre op...but I decided (after freaking out for a while about it)...I would be ok wearing a wig and being healthy and not obese!

Look at you girl!!! 1 pound away from goal! Cant wait to see a post soon!

I have only tried a banana once about 3 months out but it was horrible...havent tried it since I dont get along with a large amount of rice and pasta but a little here and there is fine One funny thing is, I love milk, cheese (of all kinds) and cottage cheese are staples for me...maybe that will ward off osteporosis later in life? I'll bet I could stop taking 3 calcuim supps a day:)

So sorry you are feeling so bad...I dont have any great advice for you but I am saying a prayer for and hope in a week or two we will see a post about how much better you feel!

Happy anniversary...great to hear from you!

Yeah you are moving in the right direction!!!! Look forward to seeing future post and continued healing.

Sounds good to me...gonna give it a shot some time. I always need breakfast/brunch items to take to church for ladies group. thanks for sharing...

Welcome...try a medicine cup at a time...I actually bought those disposable bath cups. Keep on sipping:)

I used to find them every where and now I cant find them very often. Wonder why?

I just typed up my first 7 weeks for another sleever on the site...pm me your email and I will be happy to email it to you...It has the recommended vitamins and diet guidelines I followed on it. But it is several pages long and from others comments I believe she is very strict...but it worked wonders for me.

Not to rain on anyones parade but I was warned not to eat pickles or to "skin" them until i was at 6 months...I would just suggest you check with your nutritionist or doctor. I was told the skin is hard to digest and like apple skin I shouldnt eat it until 6 months post op. Now I love to wrap up a pickle with a little cream cheese or some laughing cow and a piece of turkey.

You look great! Thanks for sharing your success!

That is a great NSV!

Bonnie our states were similar... I am 5.3 but was 226.5 pounds when I started the work. Had to lose 10 pounds prior to surgery. Now I have been at or below goal for 8 months now. Your are so right....listen to you doctor and follow the plan and I believe with your attitude and determination you will be here where I am in a year! Great to meet you. good luck on your journey.

Good Luck....praying it goes well...let us know what you find out.

Look at those pictures girrrrl....look at the sleeves in the first they were tight by the current they are baggy.

Great to hear from you...I am glad they are watching you and helping you along with the nausea...
