Okay its been a long 3 months Had my Surgery feb 20th, and for a while there I was stuck at 210lbs Didn't matter what I did. I forced the protein in drank more water and went for longer walks and IM FINALLY UNDER 200lbs!!! I haven't been under 200lbs in 10 years. But here is why I'm really here today- is anyone else having the dreaded hair loss? my hair is falling out and breaking worse then a golden retriever in sheading season. I've been taking Biotin even prior to surgery. but my hair has become soo thin. Ticks and trips that work? things you've read online? or am I rocking a ponytail for the rest of my days to come?

You're totally the unofficial Feb cheerleader! thanks for keeping us motivated! Ive been missing these weigh ins because I'm complacently discouraged with myself. think its 3 weeks now and im dancing between 213-210 SD: Feb 20th, 2018 SW: 249lbs (or somthing close to that...so many numbers) CW: 210...ish GW 140-150 (although right now i just want to be under 200) Back at work and doing well, i think work has me more on tract back on a kinda schedule, pushing protein this week really hoping to hit those goals and see if i can push though this stall.

Stuck at 215 myself 4 weeks post op. Havent killed anyone yet. Down 42 lbs but i am going to buy a new scale if this one doesnt start moving! Ans it knows it! Lol Some days i feel hungry somendays i forget to eat.

*hugs* back at ya. I really dont know girl i feel like.sobbing right next to you. Doing my best doesnt seem good enough and its my compelte focus right now as im not even back to work yet. This weeks focus is protein see what i can do here

Thank you for that, youre right 42lb is an achomplishment but im discuraged becuase most of it was on the liqued diet preop. Im marching forward but god this is mentally exhausting

Okay guys, amost 1 month post op. And for about a week ive been stuck at 215lbs. 1 week ago i started pureed diet tolerating foods and now im not loosing anything which is really discouaging me ( maybe discourages the wrong word but upsetting would be a good word) starting yo feel gulity putting anything in my mouth like i shoulf remain on liqueds. Carbs are low, sugar free averaging about 500-600calories a day. Portine could be better but im averaging 30-40g a day. I cant have done all this to only loose 42lbs.

Oh okay so im not crazy and didnt miss somthing...plus somone needs to be in chargesand keep us on track lol

Not many ppl know about mine either. Didnt know wed weigh ins was a thing! I shal hope on board next week!

3 weeks post op today. Bathroom has been my biggest challenge. Really pushing those fluids. Starting weight nov 2016 256lbs Today 215lbs Preop weight was 243lb Wish things were moving faster but im still very pleased

Girl next to me felt so bad she had no nasuia kept rining the bell for the nurse for me. They kept me 3 nights because of this. GasX was a life send, although pain managed it helpped so much being able to pass gas You got this girl. Have i had a few moments of reget...yes a little would i go back? Nope. Dow to almost 225 from 250. Small but huge.

It was pretty bad for me that was the worst part although in all fairness as well I have a bad reaction to anesthetic which I learned the surgery and last night I learned that I'm allergic to hydromorphone after my body broke out in hives if I didn't have this stupid complications related to medication the surgery would have been a breeze

All the best to you! Im 4 days post op. Spent 3 nights in-hospital related to a bad reaction to anesthetic cause me to really really feel nauseous and vomit but other than that the pain is been tolerable I'm getting my fluids in although I have to stay on top of it prayers with you and all the best

Had my raux rny on feb 20th ans im still i hosp..pain is VERY managable. But i am beyond nauseated walking around but its not helping much likely going home. Tomorrow

Mine is coming up on Tuesday Feb 20th, definitely starting to freak out. This liquid diet has been a bit rough but manageable as in my head i know its only temporary i fear the pain and discomfort. Keep us posted on how youre feeling!

Why didnt i think of this! Doing it today! Im day 5 of 14 days of optifast. The not normally a chocolate fan but tries it yesterday and its so much nore bareable then the awful vanilla. Not sure what skinny syrup is but i know where to find mio! Thanks for the idea

Just liqued diet for me with awful optifast. Nothing about magnesium

Im going to bed early tonight...sleep though the hunger pains. (Yes im being dramatic) 13 days to go!

Day 1 of optifast...luckily im at work so a bit of a distraction but i would be lying if i didnr say i was hungry

I didnt think of it, I guess i could but I start my optifast diet tomorrow 14 days to go. I can only have optifast and a few "clear fluids" no sugar added stuff. Already feeling tired today. As a nurse myelf Im not sure how im going to make it but im pushing though.

Its supportive words like this which are making my count down a little easier. The support in this community is unbelievable. 16 days to go, food funeral this weekend... not what i thought it would be. I'm terrified but I'm ready!

I finally got my surgery date Feb 20th! After almost a year and a half of appointments and dedication. As excited as I am, I'm terrified as well. Is this just going to be another something i fail at? I'm reading some of the post op forums and 3 months out some have only lost 6-10lbs. questioning if this is even worth it? I gained and lost weight all my life, already at 31 have the skin to prove it. Guess I'm looking for those words of encouragement.

Thank you! Trusting the procsess

Keep me posted we will be sugrey buddies! Just got my time off from 1 job gotta tiw up loose ends at my other. Best wishes!

Ill take a whole orchestra! Doubt is always going to be there. I'm doing my best to stay positive and have started a list of reminders on why I'm doing this and what I've promised myself. I by no means want to sabotage myself. But I've sang this song before. The support of this community though, I have to admit is wonderful. Taking the time out to reassure a crazy by-passer (small pun intended) means a heck of a lot! so thank you!

This is good to hear! Thank you
