[Jennifer16005 26]

As of yesterday i have lost a total of 100LBS !!!

very excited very happy.... and look soooo different

I cant believe i did to be very honest. Never in a million years if you told me post op that i would be 100lbs liter... i would have laughed in ur face !

I started out at 306

Surgery day i was 294

and today i am 205.6

=]

i have a 10cc band with 5.2cc

I DO NOT EAT LIKE I SHOULD BE!!! If i ate better I would have lost a lot more than I have.

1st 6 months i walked a lot and i jogged on the treadmill for 30-60 mins 4-5 times a week. I have stopped working out really just walking with the kids in the stroller.

NOW THE BAD! I have lost over 1/2 my hair!!!!!! i can not stress this enough EAT YOUR PROTEIN! take some Biotin right away !!! i have the 5,000 mcgs that i am taking 2 a day of.... i have to go see my doctor next week for the 1st time in like 4 months so i will let you know what he says about the hair issue! but if you haven't had ur surgery yet or just had it START TAKING BIOTIN to HELP......

once you stay on track with ur cal. intake and getting off the couch moving around more walking jogging really it melts off.... but you have to work hard... right now more than anything i need toning... hanging skin is bad losing weight so fast my skin didnt cautch up with all the lose so fast sooo tone as you workout too to help ya out a little more.

Wow awesome job. Congratulations!! I am a month out and managed to drop 28 rather quickly but the scale has not moved in two weeks.

[Jennifer16005 26]

Jim stay strong I had a 2 month scale stand still and I up my cal. Intake 200 cal. for 2 weeks then back down 200 cal. And I saw changes in a weeks time. Your doing great!

@Jennifer, that is marvelous news on your weight loss!! Have you started to lose hair right after the surgery, or have you notice it falling out little by little. yes, many people on here swear by taking Biotin supplements, it can't hurt. Any issues with your thyroid in the past?

You look amazing by the way!

Keep us posted and congratulations!!!

Thanks Jennifer. I will stick with it as I am in it for the long haul. I think my problem is I am not eating enough. Strange how I lost all interest with food since surgery.
