You seem to be doing fine with a low BMI your weight loss is not far from the average December sleever, Keep your head up you dont have far to go besides look at it like this the slower the lest likely you will have saggy skin. fast looser's have a lot of excess skin your slow loss may work in your favor later =-) .

One thing that is helped me with getting all of the Water in is buying bottles of water by the case. Every morning I put my 5 bottles of water on the kitchen counter. By night, if I have any left, I don't allow myself any coffee, Protein hot chocolate, etc. until all of the water is gone!

My signature is up to date. Losses have been slow but steadier last few weeks. I'm not counting calories or tracking food anymore, I may start again if I stall lol. I hate stalls.

How's everyone's Hair loss? I lose handful of hair daily thank goodness I have a lot of hair or I'd be bald!

So far no hair loss I pray it stays that way I heard not everyone looses hair.

About the same as you, but mine is more like 'shedding' which I did all the time before surgery anyways...

My Hair loss is no more or less than usual so far. Of course I expect that to change any day now. I even had 5 inches cut off my hair as a precautionary measure.

My doc says 5mg Biotin and Omega 3s. Evening primrose oil pills also help. I can't take while on Coumadin.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
