Thank you no meds and I have faith that you can do it also! True we only know each other by our posts but going through this makes you and I and all the others have a bond no one else does. Unless you've had this surgery then you will not understand! I was told recently by someone that I Waste a lot of food ! This person is in the process of having this surgery and like I told her you don't understand it your there!

Til your there

I am legit going to be bald just today my hair started super falling out. I could cry. I get it healthy is good...but its my hair!!

I habe been taking Biotin supplements since like week 4. I use biotin shampoo...I cut a foot off my hair week 4....and NOW it starts falling out.

I found somthing call nutri-ox....has anyone ever used it?! Any way to stop? .

I have easily lost half my hair. I'm four months out. I could just cry. I take all the biotin and everything else.

I have officially lost 100 pounds! Excited!

Congrats I am 82 lbs down

[Christi.85 12]

It's hard to believe we've been able to lose so much so quickly. I still have another 90 to go. I started at 345. I'm at 245 now.

[Greenize42 62]

I started at 294 and I am at 211 now but I would live love to be at 130 which is my ultimate goal but I will take 140 or 145 no higher

Love love

I'm feeling really stupid right now. My husband and kids went out for Cinco de mayo. I didn't go because I wasn't feeling up to eating Mexican. I went to the grocery store to get some stuff for my sons teacher for teacher appreciation day tomorrow. Had to pass by the bakery and couldn't, or didn't, pass on an apple turnover. Then...proceeded to eat half of it on the car...a big no-no. Came home just in time for it to make a return engagement.

Why did I do this to myself? I knew I couldn't eat it? I knew what would happen. My asthma is in high gear and I have felt crappy for a few days. I'm having major aversions to food. Most days I just want to drink a Protein smoothie, eat a Protein Bar, and be done with it all. I've lost 78 lbs since 12-20 so I know I'm doing something right. I just wish I could get back on track with eating regular food and liking it.

I have ups and downs too! Sometimes I really don't want anything at all. Bad thing is chips and carbs agree with my tummy better than most food especially eat. I can only eat Beans so much without being tired of them. Wish more people would comment on here cause I start feeling like I am alone in this journey sometimes!!!!

I discovered on Easter that candy doesn't really make me sick. I've never 'dumped'. I do end up feeling icky just because of eating junk but nothing like what I've heard of dumping. This is a problem. My kids have a ton of candy left from easter and I've been eating pieces here and there. The struggle is hard.

I understand what you mean about feeling alone in this journey. It is hard. Sometimes it feels no one understands and only you know what is going on. Chips dont hurt me either as I suck on them. Proteins are hurting and I just often eat them hurting. It is a journey with bumps and hills. But just know we always come down with a goal and you will reach it!!

I agree with you all.

Yesterday I was in the dentists chair trying to answer with all that stuff and their hands in my mouth. You know what I mean? They asked how I felt being 70 pounds lighter. I struggled to answer. All I could think to say is, "I'm still trying to get used to it."

I am about 17 lbs from hitting 100 lbs total loss! Do y'all have a good Protein Shake mix that doesn't have a horrible whey taste after it? Maybe something from Walmart I like Bariatric Advantage but it is way too expensive for me right now. I am applying for a new job and the way I have my emotional ups and downs it kinda scares me! Prayers that I get it and then prayers for me to handle it when I do!

I have a mixture of was low carb Protein (although not bad plain). It is the low carb one have to make sure. It is at walmart about 475 here. Then I mix a low greek y ougart and a Protein Powder and fruit. The eas comes in chocolate, fudge, strawberry (not so good plain), french vanilla, and vanilla

The Body Fortress brand, at Wal-Mart and Bi-Mart is the cheapest. And it has a good Protein to carb ratio.
