Miss- How are you doing? Is the soreness still there?

Lake Elsinore, CA

I eat melba toast

I am in. My goat for March, 17th is 183. Today's weight: 190.2 Goat weight: 183 Pounds left to lose: 7.2

Miss- I am in the same boat. No loss since October. I know I am eating the wrong things. I started on Monday to be really strict again. I am eating less and not eating a lot of carbs. I was afraid that I stretched my sleeve out as well. I watched a YouTube video where a doctor talks about sleeve stretching and how it doesn't really happen so I feel better about that. I totally get you when you say you wished you would have opted for a different surgery! It is what it is, though and we need to make the best of it. The lowest weight I have seen on the scale is 190.8. That didn't last but one day, though. On Monday I was at 195.6. This morning I was at 191.4. I am hoping to be in the 180's by next week. It sucks that the surgery isn't a fix all. We all heard that prior to surgery, though.. It is time to be accountable for what we put in our mouths and work our sleeves! It is SO hard to get back on the wagon once you fall off, but just take one day at a time. It is a struggle but we can be each other's cheerleaders!

So, here is the hairball that I combed out of my hair this morning. Keep in mind, it is only what I combed out. My hair is constantly falling out all through the day. I had my surgery on 6/12. I have been losing hair for a while now but the rate of loss has recently increased.

I am 5 months out and my tummy is still talkin' all crazy.

Does anyone else have tailbone pain since losing weight? I have lost around 71 pounds and my butt bone is really starting to hurt.

I have mixed fat free Italian and a little Ranch. It tastes great!

You look awesome and your hair looks great, too!! I am so jealous! Are you losing any hair?

I get my protein in most days. I also take biotin, CoQ10, zinc

I am losing tons of hair. It started at 2.5 months and I am going on 5 months and I am still losing tons. I started out with extremely thin hair to begin with. You can really see my scalp horribly. I use Xfusion to camoflauge. I have also bought a couple wigs. I don't wear them to work, but when I go out with my hubby I do. I love them. I am wearing one in my avatar picture. I started a thread called I'll show you mine if you show me yours. It shows pictures of my balding head and what it looks like after I put on Xfusion. I will try to do another update of how bad it is now this weekend. Losing my hair was my biggest fear. It is happening and there isn't a thing I can do about it. I hope it grows back. I do love the wigs, but would rather not "have" to wear them. I think it would be embarassing the first couple times I wear them to work if I had to.

Made goal! Weight this morning is 195.8! Catch ya on the Thanksgiving Challenge thread.

My hubby actually bruised me... Did it two days ago and I am still sore.... not on the inside sore, on the outside where my pelvic bone is above my "man in the boat".

I am taking biotin, used the nioxin, taking zinc, etc.. nothing helps me. My doc says it just needs to run it's course. I believe everyone is different though.. you may be a lucky one.
