I'm 5 months out and I take them

Honestly and this might be TMI but its the truth , When I could no longer reach to wipe my backside after using the restroom .... went and looked at some pics and noticed I looked like Jabba the hut and said enough is enough .... That was my turning point

Update ( as I posted awhile back ) Surgery date 9/17 SW 231 CW 175 GW 130 Total 56 lbs loss so far Scale didn't move for two months , I adjusted my carb a d protein intake and it started moving again , yaay

I use twin labs bariatric multi vitamin ... I also use a separate b12 , vitamin D and Biotin all my labs came back fine

I was sleeved 9-17 , surgery weight 231 current weight 180 , I track everything on my fitness pal on a 900 calorie intake , I have stalled 3 times Already .... I work out 4 times a week and scale still has not moved for one month and a half , not sure if I should cut back or up my calories .....

Sleeved 9/17 Surgery weight 231 Current weight 179 Total loss so far 52 lbs Just started losing again since December ( body adjusting I assume ) Goal weight 130

Meli0808 here , love the support on mfp

I told my Sons ( 20 yr and 15 yr ) my husband , mom and brother and that is it .... No one else needs to know in my opinion . I work out 4 times a week with a personal trainer and I eat well ... So I omit the surgery part and play on the workout and good eating habbits . Not too long ago my brother in law was talking about the lap band and saying I have no respect for losing weight that way ( with surgery ) which validated me not saying anything to anyone else .

I am 15 weeks out and having major hairloss , I am taking biotin and zinc and using Fall Fight shampoo and conditioner ... I have to admit it slowed it down a tad but still losing lots for my taste . My surgeon said it will happen as your bosy is still recouperating and taking all the vitamins from less important places like hair/ nails . However he said don''t worry you wont go bald ... It will start to grow back ...

Thats GREAT SummerMarie .... Awesome loss , I was sleeved on 9/17 and I am teeter tottering between 46-49 weightloss so far ... In a stall right now but I am sure it will break soon , Your sucess is very motivating

1. I confess that I am happy I will never hear "you have such a pretty face "again ( as if that was a compliment ) 2. I confess that I still do not get the satisfied feeling even when my sleeve is full 3. I confess I get jealous reading how others mates can not keep their hands off them with the weightloss they have achieved ( my husand is very supportive but I want that sex monster to come out ) 4.I confess that even with a 45 ish pound weight loss I still see no change 5. I confess that I even with going 4 times a week I think to myself why bother going to the gym when I will lose something anyway .....smh

Congrats , you look GREAT !!! , Awesome stats

I have playing with the same 3 lbs for weeks now ... I am a week shy of 4 months out , according to what I have read its normal so I wont stress myself about it .... as I have seen in prior months the scale will soon move

I use twin labs bariatric multi vitamin .... not bad

Wow ....6 kids , god bless .... I have 2 boys ...15 & 20 yrs old....and I am losing so much hair as said prior , its scary

Sleeved 9/17 down 49 pounds to date ......height 5'1 starting weight 231

That is the dreaded 3 week stall , I went through that ... That one stall lasted approx 2 weeks for me before I saw the scale move again ... your body is just adjusting , you are doing fine ... keep up the good work

I had surgery 9/17 and back to work 9/24 , I also have a desk job

It stands for Electronic Shock Wave Lithotripsy ...

Correct , I work out 4 times a week and on those four days I have to up my calories , well try to anyway

I am also taking in 800-1000 , I am currently 2 weeks shy of four months out ....

Ughh , ESWL I have had 3 and need to for my fourth so I know your pain .... Wishing you well ,.. Get all the rest you can and lets hope NO MORE SURGERY for you going forward , good luck and feel better
