Thank again everyone for your kind words, you know how to make a girl feel good about herself.

As far as my stats, they are on my profile so please check there and on my signature :)

hair loss, I had it mostly within the first 6 months. I had thicker hair to begin with and there were times it was coming out in handfuls when I would wash it. It never got to a point where others noticed, other than my hair dresser. I did everything, Vitamins, Biotin, but Biotin only helps with regrowth not the prevention of falling out. Now my hair is growing back, This is awful! Not that is coming back but the fact I have a head full of new baby hair that is untamable! LOL. I can't wear my hair back otherwise I look like I got electrocuted, I have fly aways and I don't want to put gel or anything in it because it makes my ears stick out hahaha.

My skin I haven't had any skin issues, yes i have a lot of excess skin, but I knew that was going to happen with how much I have to lose. But I would rather have excess skin that can be hidden with body smoothers then be where I was anyday!

You look sweet, girlfriend! Congrats. You are an inspiration to me as a 2 month post surgery gal who is struggling with slow weight loss.

Can you say more about it being harder to lose now that you are a year out. Do you mean that the weight no longer comes off even when you eat like you did while it peeled off of you or that your appetite is harder to manage or is it something else. Inquiring minds want to know!

      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.
