Did your Dr. pick it for you(or help you pick it) ? Did you just have one in mind? The BMI you were before kids? Something more interesting ?

5 months out, hungry and eating more- help?
damanda replied to sramos89's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am exactly where you are, EXACTLY. I am not sure which is worse right now the almost stopped weight loss or the extreme hair loss, but from reading the boards I do not think we are the first to go thru this and in time with some due diligence it will pass . -

*1*- I can still(and do) drink/tolerate alcohol/wine like I use to before surgery. *2*- I eat whatever I want, whenever I want (except bread and carbo drinks) I just do it in small portions. *3*- I stopped taking all my vitamins due to cost. *4*-I almost never work out. *5* I feel guilty not telling my overweight adult daughters about my surgery. -
Started and finished January at the same weight, MEH. . . guess there is the rest of the year

I will be 43 in 5 weeks ( excited for my birthday). I am married (the hottie behind me in the picture) , 5 kids- 24- 22- 20- 16-14, all 100 % wonderful. Sleeved in Mexico 5 months ago. Down 52 pounds, about 35 more to goal.

The size 9/10 jeans I bought do not make me happy about my three week (so far) stall but I guess they make it tolerable.

Nike Free Run or Ascis (sp)

Horrible pain, and I am not even skinny yet! I hope my little booty does adjust as we go along because I have a desk job also and right now i have a big pillow sitting on my office chair. It is so sad the butt & boobs are the first to go.

I loved/ love my hair also. I have used Biotin & silica to try to keep it and boost its growth. I am still losing my hair though. I have heard it passes ( the hair loss ) after 7-9 months. So right now I just try to focus less on the hair and more on the clothing size I drop each month and wear a lot of ponytails.

Looking for a new fun exercise, pole dancing class sounds fun but intimidating. Any one tried this want to share how it was, also the website for the class in my town says poles have a 200 lb limit. I was 189 at my last Monday weigh in which is under 200 but do not want to push the limits or my luck, anyone in my weight range or larger want to ease my worries that this will not end in me being YouTube famous ?

I am not sure, I take mine daily at the 1,000 mg so 7,000 a week not counting what is in my multi. Maybe if they take theirs (10,000) weekly the numbers get closer.

I have a Target brand 1,000 MG tablet I have taken since about three weeks out, plus there is a little in my multi vitamin. Not sure if it working i am still losing my hair a bit, but maybe without the biotin it would be worse so I keep taking it .

Thanks for all the advice & encouragement. I am going to do this even if those pleaser shoes look like my death
