Goodbye 50lbs (photos!)



Recommended Posts

For me Biotin has been working incredibly. No it doesn't help with it falling out, but I have so many regrowths on my head it looks like a porcupine! My nails are growing fast and strong too, so it has lots of good effects. I've been taking 2500 mcg since I noticed my hair falling out which was about 3 months ago now.

Also I'm 6 months out now and I've noticed in the last few hair washings that my hair is falling out much less than say 1-2 months ago. I've heard others say that around 7 months it pretty much stops, and I'm running toward that so I'm hopeful that I will be one of those folks too.

Oooh, I haven't heard that about it slowing down at 7 months...hey that is exciting...please keep us posted if that seems true for you.

And thanks for the big compliments, you are an inspiration to many of us here!!!:heart:

WOW, your BIG DAY is coming right up! Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

Yes, I do work out. I've been going to Curves for almost 7 years at least 3-5 times a week, and then I walk on my treadmill or swim laps or take extra exercise classes at my local rec center (but not as often as Curves). I think I've dropped about 3 sizes? I am starting to be able to wear XL in the regular section and I started out wearing 3X in Plus Size. I'm bigger on top (broad shoulders and big chest) so I'm sort of in awe that a regular XL is fitting. lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
