  1. I am 3 1/2 months out and I consume 90 grams of protein a day , So I do not think you are overdoing it ... As far as hair loss ... I am currently going through it , started around a lil before my 3rd month ... It seems to be inevitable .... I take a bariatric multi vitamin , Biotin , Vitamin D and B12 ... however the hair loss is worrisome ... Per my surgeon it happens and it will grow back , Keep up the good work
  2. Awesome ... You go girl ..... Rock those 100's .... much continued sucess

    I have pretty much the same exact stats , started at 231 sleeved 9/17 and I am also bouncing around 185 ish .... Do not get discouraged with the holidays it has been tough on all of us ... I am going to start the divas 5 day bootcamp with hopes that will jumpstart the weightloss again ... Until I start that I am just doing low carb ... Good luck

  6. I agree with Gaye , I also found my soulmate/true love when I was 14 & at 100 lbs ..... he loved me then and still loved me at 230 .... In october we just celebrated our 23rd anniversary ...... its out there ladies , dont give up , we are all so very worth it
  7. I just got off of Levaquin ( antibiotics) & I was nauseous all 10 days ..... I am 3 months out
  8. I agree with UTGal 99.....i just made 3 months on dec 17 ....and i am down 42 .. so 35-40 is a good approx , i started at 231
  9. Ok my surgeon told me to get off of my protein shakes for good .... Now I only get 50 -60 grams of protein with food .... According to your doctors advice .... Should I up my protein intake so I can kick start my metabolism ??

    Today I called the insurance company...

    Wooo Hooooo Congrats .....Something similar happened to me , my patient advocate was on vacation .... I called and spoke to someone else and I had a date (like you) 10 days from the surgery date and he just told me to immediately start the liquid diet and I only had to do 10 days worth of the liquid diet ....So keep your fingers crossed .....

  14. I am taking one multi vitamin and liquid cq10 .... I suffer from calcium kindney stones so my urologist doesnt want me taking calcium.... however went for my blood test and hopefully my surgeon will tell me where im lacking and i will take it from there
  15. I have had no change in my marriage , I have been married 23 yrs and like you , we went out to dinner alot , However I am 2 1/2 months out and just because I eat less I do not let that stop me ... either I order an appitizer or just order a dinner and take most of it home .... However when we go out for drinks I will just order juice or a virgin something or other and babysit that puppy all night ...lol ... however we are still going strong .... Don't worry yourself too much with that ,.where there is a will there is a way
