That's fantastic!!!! -
Well feeling/looking/ and being sexy all come from within. Even at my biggest I really didn't have a problem with this so I'm not sure how to help. I did just buy some new bright red lipstick and that made me feel smoking hot! Lol it does help that my husband thinks I'm sexy even on my worst days ????paint your nails, paint ur lips and say "damn I'm HOT" ☺️????

kikicoates78 replied to emily.paige's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stalled for a few weeks!! It was frustrating. But it passes. Just keep doing what u are supposed to do. This week 5 pounds just disappeared but in my 3 week stall I lost like 1-2. Lol it's your body adjusting, all normal. -

kikicoates78 replied to Hopeful1958's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is normal at 4 weeks. I bobble up and down 2 pounds all the time. Also at least once a month (my cycle) i gain 2-4 pounds. Don't stress the numbers -
Will I always be cold?
kikicoates78 replied to Iowa_summergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Low carbs will cause this. Carbohydrates fuel and heat the body. I have never been cold natured. I freeze since my surgery. -

kikicoates78 replied to brown eyed gal's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am 7 weeks out and I eat more than 1/4 cup. Lol have been forever. like dinner tonight I had 2oz grilled chicken 5 thin and crispy tostitos and 2 teaspoons of a light sour cream salsa mixture. That's easily 3/4 cup. -
It just takes a while. It will pass when u start getting real food. I was sleeved on 10/23. I still have days I am fatigued. Our bodies are still adjusting. It was much better starting at about 6 weeks out.

Slow, slow, and slower! Pounds are wanting to stay!
kikicoates78 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
7 weeks PO and down 33 pounds. I know those are GREAT numbers, and I'm so thankful to be feeling better. But the last month has been a slow and stop month! Maybe 9 pounds. The rest was all in the 1st few weeks. I know eventually it will come off. I am following the rules. I do need to drink more water, and I struggle to hit my 60g of protein but I manage. My dear husband decided he would lose weight with me... No surgery and of course he PASSED me up yesterday dropping 35 pounds (ugh men..*eyeroll*) lol anyways just venting. It seems to make me feel better when I have someone to vent to! And PS. I really am proud of my hubby. Didn't want that to sound bad ???????????? -
I too am scared of this. I just try to get my protein and vitamins in. My hair has ALWAYS fallen out in thick clumps. But it constantly grows back and I have plenty of it still. I'm only 7 weeks PO so far so good. Just my normal any when I wash my hair. But knowing it stops offers some condolence.

babbs im not worried per say. Just that it all happened so early and just seemed to STOP. MY SW was 275 CW 242. I'm 4'11.5". My BMI was like 53! Just thought the 1st 50 pounds would be super easy as I'm SO fat ???? by no means am I ungrateful for what I have lost already, nor will it throw me off my plan and my pushing forward
