I haven't checked in for 7 days, however I've been logging my exercise into MyFitnessPal. Last weekend I logged 10 miles of running/walking. This week I didn't make it to the track, but I got onto my elliptical every morning (except for Friday) for an hour--logging in 20 miles. This weekend I hit the road on a borrowed bike (How do you long distant bikers do it?!?! My lady parts and rear took a beating!!! Sorry for the TMI!) and I hit 13 miles. There was a lot of up hill riding...it was torture on my quads and hams, but I loved it and will be doing it again. I'm going shopping for a bike and I will definitely make sure to get one with a wider and better cushioned seat (so my under area won't feel so abused! LOL!). So, my total for this month is 63. I plan on getting another 5 in either at the track or on my elliptical, bringing it up to 68. Everyone is doing great! It is so awesome to see so many people on this thread. No matter your fitness level, keep it up and keep pushing yourselves! I look forward to reading your successes

I agree with the previos posters, there is noyhing you can do. It inevitably hapens to 99.9% of us sleevers (I've read a couple posts reporting no hair loss). Just follow your doctors nutritional and supplemental orders. http://www.advancedweightlossnj.com/hair-loss-after-surgery.php

CONGRATULATIONS and welcome to ONDERLAND!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS and welcome to ONDERLAND!!!!

You and I were sleeved on the exact same day. You have lost 85 pounds in 3 months!!! That is FREAK'N AMAZING!!! I have lost 47 pounds in the same period. I am currently in a stall and actually gained 2 pounds in this week's weigh in. I am not worried. It's a stall. If you've read enough of these posts, you know that stalls happen. Don't fret. There are many reasons for stalls--water weight, backed up plumbing, monthly cycle, etc. You're doing great. Keep doing what you're suppose to be doing and the weight WILL continue to come off as soon as your body is ready.

Haven't checked in, but I'm at 20 miles since the first. Slow start, but I'll get up there (hopefully). You all are doing are doing great! Keep it up! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Alobri... You look 10-15 years younger from your first pic...WOW!!!! You look great!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Absolutely not!!! I don't miss the huffing and puffing; the extra body odor, sweat, and having to shower multiple times a day because if it; the inability to participate in activities because of tiring so easily or being embarrassed of my rolls and flap bouncing and making noise.... The list can go on and on. I don't miss it. Not even the food. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Missed my morning run. 5 miles down on my elliptical. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I think you literally need to eat something every 2 (no longer than 3) hours. Whether you are hungry or not. That's what I do. My doc said that a lot of people lose their hair because of the extreme calorie deficit, and I did NOT want to lose my hair. So, I have pretty consistently (for about 6 weeks now) hit 1200-1300 calories per day. I eat about every two hours--hungry or not. After my morning run I drink a high 200 calorie RTD Protein drink (@5a.m.); at 7 a.m. I have a 70 calorie boiled egg; 9 a.m. (my off period) I have my oatmeal that I add Protein powder to--about 130 calories; my lunch is at 11:39 a.m. and I usually do tuna and crackers-250 calories; between 2&3 p.m. I eat an ounce of cashews (160 cals) and a string cheese (80 cals); dinner is between 5&6 p.m. and it is usually a beef Soup, salad n chicken, or fish n veggies ranging from 200-300 calories. I drink a casein Protein Drink before bed. It's hard work, it takes a lot of preparation, it's not always comfortable, but I have gotten used to it and I have yet to lose my hair. I am very happy with the rate of my weight loss. Not too fast, not too slow. I know you are further out than me, and being a low BMI'r like yourself, I hope I am not in your same predicament, but I truly hope this helps you up your calories. Good luck to you.

I'm glad those drugs are working out for you (ahem...if you have any extra...). I hope you have a speedy recovery and we hope to see you poking your nose in here often. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ted...how did your wife's surgery go? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thank you Laura for the update!!! I'm so glad he did well...I'll keep praying for his speedy recovery! Has anyone heard anything about Isu's wife? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hey Ted! I'm Kat (short for Katherine) and I'm back. Thanks for opening up October's thread. By tomorrow I'll hit 116 for September, and my goal for October is 150. Good luck to all!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Added another 5 today for a total of 111! Butter, good luck with your surgery! I'll keep you in my prayers and I hope that you not only have a safe and successful surgery, but a quick and speedy recovery as well. Isu, my prayers will include your wife as well! Good job everyone!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

WOW!!! What a transformation! You look awesome!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I can see it too! You go girl!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I swear we are related! Chips n salsa, and even worse...chips n queso are my BIGGEST downfall!!! They go down SO EASY! It sucks, but they are my trigger foods! The other day I chopped up tomato, onion, cilantro, Serrano peppers, avocado and sprinkled it with sea salt and lime...then I mixed it with some Julio's mild salsa dip...and ate it with those Tostitos lime chips...it was HEAVEN! I don't really feel guilty about the dip, but it made those chips slide down real good :/ Sent from my iPhone using VST
