@@glitter eyes I'm 12 months. Your post sound exactly what has happened to my hair. My dietician told me I can't blame the surgery this far out. My lab work is all great. She suggested getting my hormone levels checked. I will try the liquid silica.

I was brave enough to do..?
Healthy_life2 replied to Healthy_life2's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@@OKCPirate Love your NSV ideas. You have to tell us how it all worked out. Starting weight..oh yes staying afloat would be an issue Current weight I had to lift my butt out of the middle of the innertube lay flat on my back to reach the Water. It was the only way I could paddle and navigate down the river. Maybe I shrunk in height with my WLS. -

Summer NSV! Had a great day with family and friends on the Boise river today. We rented innertube's to float the river. The park staff called my name to pick up my equipment. He handed me a child's life jacket to wear. He said the adult size would not fit me.

Makeovers? LADIES!
Healthy_life2 replied to leag78's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@@leag78 Before surgery I never made the effort and could not find things that looked attractive. If it fit was the only thing that I worried about. I did the same routine with makeup that I have done for years. With a new body and face I was forced to do a makeover. I love youtube video makeup tutorials. Its been so long since I took the time to put on makeup. Its great to get tips on new products and how to put it on correctly. Even ways to get different looks. My hair issue is still there. Hope it grows back. I use topix to hide the thin areas to the gym and work.. I have worn extensions. My hair is very thin and the clips have started to show.. .. to remedy the situation I bought a lace front wig. I wear it to give my own hair a break. Husband loves it. Making the best out of it. Shopping for clothing is an addiction. Bought an evening gown to go out on a special date with my husband. Great workout gear. I feel comfortable in jeans again. Just wish I had some booty. I bought a pair of Victoria secret slacks for work.. A bathing suit. Heels I cant get enough of. -
This will be the first time my step daughter has seen me in a year since WLS. I pick her up from the air port tomorrow. ( she lives out of state) Everyone that lives close have seen the wight loss. They are over the shock. I'm dreading her reaction and questions. Damn I'm nervous.

Gowalking mountaingirl. She is one of the many family members I did not tell about my WLS. She seen me at a family event last August. I was 40lbs down. Her first comment when she saw me was..... "what a transformation" She has never had weight issues. I now weigh less than my step daughter. Family has seen a few photos. I'm understanding of peoples responses when they have not seen the gradual change. Just don't want my weight to be a topic while she is here to visit.

Any tips on riding bicycles?
Healthy_life2 replied to VDB's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@ Congrats for getting back on your bike. Your workouts are going to help out. Your fitness level is going to continue to increase. Biking is great cardio. I agree with @@Stevehud a good seat is a wonderful thing. You have been out on your bike before, Its like a horse..Get back on it Try seeing how far you feel comfortable going is a good start. I started riding last month wish I would have started sooner. I'm a kid again. Loving it! -

Thoughts on "Goal"
Healthy_life2 replied to HopeandAgony's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@HopeandAgony It is good to have short range and long range goals. It will help keep you motivated. Start out with a number that you are comfortable with. If you reach that goal and want to try an lower weight you can always change your goal number. The only person that has to be happy with your results is you. Focus on loosing weight, getting healthy and living life. Its only a number My doctor also did not set my goal. As strange as this sounds I was excited to be in the "overweight" category. I'm now at a healthy BMI. I thought that would never be possible. Best of luck to you, Jenn -

@@SWEETTEA I have even had one of my Bariatic buddies say you need to stop. If we are in the healthy BMI range I'm not concerned about the comments. Is it me or do people know what a healthy BMI looks like anymore? Are healthy BMI's not the norm???? -
@@*Lexie* Before surgery I was a couch potato. Now I'm up for anything. I'm a little over a year out and also excited to see what next year brings. I celebrated my first birthday after surgery (5months out) By learning to Kayak. If I was at my higher weight I would have sunk the boat. I now Mountain bike! I have not been on a bicycle for a long time. It brings out the kid in me again. Loving it. Running - Completed the Turkey day 5K, Christmas YMCA 10K, Race for the cure in memory of my mom. I am looking forward to the Idaho wine run this weekend. I don't know about you. But I feel like I have been given a second chance at life. I don't want to waste it.
