I have been trying to get on here for days. The page either doesn't load or a post freezes and wipes out before posting. So my apologies for not responding and being supportive. I know someone had emergency hemmie surgery, hope they are on the mend and feeling better. Prune juice has been magical. Phase 4 has been tough but having lots of NSVs - tying shoes, more stamina for shopping and doing chores, donating bags of

Clothes. And last night had a really cool experience, in the ER with mom (she's ok now) and after 7 hours I had to eat something, the vending machine had a Protein pack of cheese, ham and almonds 2 ounces 13 grams of protein, cold fresh delist! hubby so impressed he's ordering it for his store. The old me would have gone for the pretzels and never considered anything else. Lovely, congrats on graduating!!! May this coming new year bring everyone good health and happiness and peace on earth.

I was sleeved on October 30th. I've lost so much weight sense surgery I'm kinda in awe! Everyone around me is jealous and very supportive. I have a waist!!! I've never had a waist! This is the best feeling ever and I don't want it to stop. I did however have a nerverous break down about buying a new pair of jeans because my old ones no longer fit me. I've been trading clothes with my best friend to keep clothes on myself.

Good luck to everyone I hope you all have the success I have.

Buying clothes is so strange right now. The experience I'm having is that I'm shrinking in the waist and thighs, but not much in the hips and calves... so pants are an ORDEAL. Basically, pants that fit my calves and hips/lower belly are way too big in the waist/thigh/seat area, so I can't go down much in size, the pants just fit weird! So far my best bet has seemed to be finding stretchy/knit pants that fit in the waist, and the stretch takes care of the bits that are too big for that size. Ordinarily I'd just wear dresses, but it's cold! I did find a few pairs of tights to try to make the dresses a better option, and this weekend did that with success. Of course it doesn't help that the plus size stores change their sizing so much - last week I walked into a Lane Bryant wearing a pair of 26 pants from several years ago (before my surgery I was in a 32) but even the current LB size 28 was way too small! Frustrating to say the least. I think I'm just going to make my 3 pairs of pants that fit last until I lose enough that I can fit into my giant stash of size 24s that I have been keeping in the top of my closet...

I have to buy all new things as I have been without 10 pounds of the same weight for the last 20 years. Some of you are lucky to have stuff waiting for you.:-)

[Peekboo 472]

I seem to be losing boobs, bottom and fingers the fastest!

[Kathy812 794]

By bottom has disappeared! Upset about that. My belly, of course, is the slowest to go down. Hopefully, w/exercise & weight training it will all fall in place.

[Peekboo 472]

Same thing here Kathy. My husband said I will have to leave if I lose much more, lol

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!

Has anyone started losing their hair yet? I'll be 11 weeks on Monday, and I feel like it's going to start happening any day =(

I don't think I'm going to lose any hair, I'm 2 months out from surgery. My hair seems thicker and healthier. I think I'm losing even less hair than the normal few strands here and there. I have been very good about taking my Vitamins and extra Biotin daily. Anyone else notice a change in their hair.

[stephh 634]

My hair feels different, but I can't put my finger on what is different about it. I've also been meticulous about taking my Vitamins and Biotin and getting in Protein, but I'm not sure it's going to help! I think it might be luck of the draw.

[shmeyers 240]

What Biotin do you take? That is not on my list.
