Surgery was 9/2/16 OMG it won't stop. I hate to wash my hair, when I brush it out it makes me sad. How much Bioten do you use?

I look back at this post and all I can say is WOW!! I'm now weigh 149lbs I feel great, look great. There were times I felt I was doing something wrong, the weight was stalling, it was coning off VERY slow, but in the end ahhhhhhh it is working! I'm just about 5 months out and total loss is 48lbs. My gaol weight is 135. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Wow! That's awesome @@Clementine Sky 80 lbs. I too was self pay in Mexico. I was a 36 Bmi weighing 197 in Sept 2015 I'm down 46 lbs, and very happy with my results. I bought my 1st size 8 this weekend. I don't even remember EVER buying an 8..lol My favorite thing is always having a crock pot going with some kind of Protein. So when I'm hungry I go for the protien. Hard boiled eggs, costco pre cooked bacon and cartons of egg whites. Cottage cheese, and the Mexican in me likes taco salads, chicken chile Verde. Salsa on everything. My down fall is I might eat too much cheese, oh but I love it. I'll be completely honest I was walking/hiking daily and stated running I was up to 4 miles without stopping, I injured my knee about a month ago and haven't exercised at all. This rainy weather doesn't help. I just got a gym membership and I'm ready to tone up. My butt is GONE!! Good luck to you!! Just remember everyone is different no one is the same just be you and in time it'll fall off. Drink lots of Water and drink your shakes. I'm at the hair loss stage right now!! It kinda sucks.

I was sleeved 9/2 pre op weight 197 sw 189 today 166 I'm feeling great and my clothes are getting baggy:) I eat egg whites for Breakfast with veggies, sometimes a slice of spam, or turkey bacon. I love breakfast!! lunch might be cottage cheese, yogurt, fat free Soup or a string cheese. dinner is usually some kind of meat. chicken, salmon, beef, pork, tuna. I like mexican food so I put chile Verde on my eggs it's so good. My favorite is a chuck roast or tri tip in the crock pot. I found that always having some kind of meat cooked in the fridge or boiled eggs helps me as a go to if I get the munchies. My portions are really small and I have 2 shakes a day with 30 calorie almond milk. I struggle with Water I might get an average of 40-50 oz a day. My dessert is usually once a week and it's a sugar free chocolate/vanilla pudding or a sugar free fudge popsicle. My crunchy snack is chile pork grinds with cream cheese. Don't knock it till you try it, It's pretty good. Lol oh I also made chicken strips with a light sprinkle of shake n bake. Hope this helps someone. I've lost a total of 31 lbs in 2 months so I feel I'm doing something right. I exercise 3 to 4 days a week too nothing too strenuous just walking anywhere from 4 - 6 miles with my friend it's in hour and half of girl chat???? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

26 lbs in 7 weeks is awesome!! When you calculate total weight loss are you calculating from pre-op start date or surgery date? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I bought 2 5 lbs tubs of the Isopure chocolate and strawberry from GNC. I use the unsweetened 30 calorie almond milk. It makes them thicker and taste better. Turtle5559

Let's talk weight this morning. I'm feeling bummed. I'm 17 days out from surgery and lost 12 lbs. Is that about average for everyone? I've been stuck at the same weight for 3 days and the only thing different is my gummie Vitamins. Have you noticed how many carbs they have..lol I bought the vita fusion Calcium with Bone support and I have to take them 3 x a day and the kirkland Multivitamin is 2 x a day. Each serving is 2 gummies. I did go to the LA County Fair this weekend and had 12k steps on my fitbit. It felt good to be out. Turtle5559

@@Shell Renewed I catch myself doing the same thing, even with the Water. I'm 17 days out. Turtle5559
