    Hello everyone, I want to respond about hair issues. I was worried about hair loss. I am relaxed and no color :-). I heard about Andrew Lessman, hair, skin and nails vitamins. I bought them and did not experience hair loss. I cant say it was the only reason but I swear by them. I also take the other required vitamins. Make sure your iron level is good or you will definitely have hair issues. Good luck everyone.

    Lessofme, I am wishing you the best. Go straight to the doctor even if its in your town. Someone will find out eventually and that's fine. Do the safest thing. Get us posted.
  3. Kathy, that was hair, skin, and nails vitamins.
  4. @@kathy, my hair never shed very much, maybe a few weeks of minimal shedding. I take the ha, skim and nails vitamin s by Andrew Lessman at HSN. I have taken them for a few years. I think they helped but can't say for sure. The body pump class is lifting light weights for a lot of repetitions. I love it :-)
  5. @@kathy,I have been working out 3 times a week. I do water aerobics and body pump. I do the body pump more often because im so cold after the water class. The nutritionist told me that the body pump is great for building muscle and that I may be losing but gaining muscle. She said to definitely stay as much under 50 grams of carbs a day and do more treadmill or elliptical to lose a bit faster. I will try it this week. Keep me posted.
  6. I finally made it under 180! Just under, but it's a good motivator. I have been in the 180s for over 2 months. The nutritionist told me to add more calories on the days I workout and I think it worked. Everyone here seems to be doing great. I must admit that during my slow loss, I was getting more carbs than I should. We can do this!

  9. @@aSleeveStory Thank you. We will see what happens.
  10. ASleevestory, sounds like you are doing great! I was sleeved on 7 October and have lost about 50 percent of my excess weight as well. I had hoped to be moving a bit faster but I will have to be more patient. I have been eating too many carbs :-) Best of luck in your journey too. Keep us posted.

    Kathy, what was your goal for your six month appointment? I really wanted to be 15 pounds less than at 4 months but I think it will just be 10, hopefully.

    I too have noticed much more hunger and capacity which I find hard to resist. I have my 6 month appointment on Friday and I'm afraid that I haven't lost much since my 4 month weigh in. Hopefully I lose few more pounds before Friday. Any suggestions would be helpful. I seemed to be hooked on milky coffee drinks

    Sleevediva Congratulations and welcome to the losers group :-) Just stick to soups and protein drinks and maybe gatorade. Your sleeve is healing so let it rest. The time will go quickly!

    VSGMary I think exercise is the key as we stall. It seems to be the only way I start losing again.

    Kpar 79 down is wonderful. Maybe your body is adjusting to such a big loss. I just started back exercising after not going for two weeks. We will see what happens. My six month check is next Friday and im praying I will be 60 pounds down !

    Hi Jerzy I will be six months out on Tuesday and I have only lost si pounds in the last 5 weeks. I think maybe the 1100 calories is too much. Unfortunately, I find that I am hungry but never starving. I am going to try the liquids again and see what happens. I will keep you posted.

    Agent You are doing awesome. I have slacked off on my exercise but getting it going tomorrow. What kind of protein bars do you eat?
  21. Jmsgal, I see a difference in myself but not what others see. I still go look in the plus sizes at clothes. Maybe we should go and try our old clothes on and see if we feel differently.

    Hi Ll, I will be 6 months out on the 7th of April. I am getting about 1000 calories a day but haven't lost much at all this month. I can eat a larger portion now too. Or let me say, I find I am hungry couple hours after eating. I am worried because I have been a slower loser from the start.
