    Work Rumor Mill

    I freaked everyone...of course I had someone ask about the weight loss I said just not eating so much, the next asked what did you do have surgery. I went to my supervisor and said you know to release my medical info is a HIPPA violation. ... for some reason all the questioning stopped... How funny is that...!!!! After the majority of the weight left the first 4 months people quit asking... Went from 22 to 14 pretty quick
  6. Finally movement on the scales.... 1/2 pd i don't care I am counting it.

    Sick and tired of explaining myself...

    A very few of my closest friends know.... not one family member. At family meals I fix my plate and push food around and talk alot. I had a friend say well "you can't drink and you can't eat" so what are we to do. I said I can eat just not as much as I use to.... Just be patient with them they will never understand until they feel their own weight is killing them. I have even used the excuse at a couple meals - I have been snacking and eating while cooking and I am just full. Remember you did this for you!!!!!
  11. My hair if falling out and I have been in a week and a half stall.... Encouragement anyone or suggestions for the hair loss?

      Try biotin, it's for hair, skin, and nails. Worked for me. Get the sublingual tablet in 1000 mg. Orange flavor, tastes great. Any health store should carry it. Also, get in the required amount of protein. That's hard to do, but very important.

  12. I am now at 5 months post op, my hair has started leaving. I started with very thick and curly hair.... I'm headed to try the biotin has anyone else tried and succeeded with anything else.... Very concerned...
  13. Weigh loss so dramatic I was accused of smoking crack...lol Just bought new uniform shirts from size xl (snug) to small.... what a journey.

      That's awesome. @Eclectick, everyone will lose differently, I am sure you already know. when you do get the sleeve, just remember to sip as much as possible and follow your doctor's plan. You will lose it in time.

      So it's 1am, 2 weeks post op, my redskins just beat Dallas & I run up to the convience store...I got me a power aide zero...needed some taste. But wow it felt amazing to walk by the pizza' hot dogs, than I drove past an opened McDonald's.....was weird but I did it :)

      Awesome... It is so wonderful when your relation ship with food changes.

  17. Vacation time....yeah 2 weeks

  18. Do not be discouraged, just stay calm. After surgery your body burns it Glycerin (energy stores) till there are no more (initial weight loss) then it must replenish the stores. After that you will lose weight. Double check your diet and exercise. If your doing what you are suppose to (Protein, water and exercise) you will lose weight. Don't get discouraged.

    Experience

    I was a 42 BMI, but my doctor told me I was one his smaller patients.. Rocking 258 don't know how that happened but I am down 60 pds in 2 mths and 3 weeks.
  20. Just back from a weigh in check up. The doc says I have lost 44% of excess weight. I asked him what 100% would be. I would weigh 136.... That sounds like a fairytale... Hope it is true

      That's great Jordan! Believe in the process... I'm down to my second pre-pregnancy weight already -- never dreamed it would happen but it can! Just keep moving forward!

       

      Congrats!

    Clothing Sizes

    In 2005 I lost from 270 to 179, yes just diet and exercise; however I was unable to maintain the loss and over 7 years gained back to my 258. Luckly I kept most of those clothes. So I have not had to purchase anything but one uniform (between my pre surg pants and what I am in now). I did buy me a new sweater about a week ago, just hasn't got cool enough to wear it yet. GoodWill - What we call the GW Boutique is one of my favorite places to shop
