January Sleevers ❄️

[Swampdoggie 477]

Sleeved on 1/19 and lost 30 lbs since surgery. So from my perspective you're doing great! I'm with the other posters - my loss is kind of staccato - lose then stall, lose then stall. I've been in a lose for about 2 weeks (yee hah!). I'm preparing myself for patience in the stall that will surely come next (boo).

Im down 55 sleeved 1/7 and have stalled since that number but my inches are getting smaller, stay focused on the small victories

You all are doing great. Sounds like we all lose and stall, lose and stall. More inches than pounds

I am so glad I had the sleeve. I feel victorious.

I had Surg Jan 28 and am down 42 pounds definitely notice more inches when I'm in a stall so thankful for the surgery

I have not had Hair loss, I started taking Biotin before my surgery and continued after. It was not on my list the Dr gave me but it dissolves under my tongue so I sneaked it. I must say my skin and nails look great.

If the acne is hormonal, then so must be the Hair loss. Testosterone can be blamed for acne and hair loss among men and women. I'm not a doctor but that's my logic.

Zzzombrie, My oldest daughter dealt with the acne with hard notts under the skin. Her hair dresser that was also a makeup artist told her to put Calamine lotion on it , That it would kill the bacteria . It worked and she no longer deals with it. She suffered for years. I just thought I would share this with you

Today and the last few days the scale has not moved, but it is ok. I can tell the inches are coming off. I passed the mirror and was so surprised to see a girl I had not seen in a long time. I smiled and she smiled back.

My batteries are dead in my scales but I'm pretty sure I've been stuck at 248 for a couple weeks. 30 lbs list since Jan 15th but I couldn't eat for a couple weeks which I'm sure caused the stall, picking up some batteries tonight, lol

[downsizingdiva 459]

Got new battery, they are fried

Out of no where I have what reminds me of that horrible trapped gas in my chest n collar bone like after surgery? Anyone have this? its painful, post op three month. Hurts w deep breath, when I drink or eat anything

I'm on vacation right now and don't have my weight scale, food scale, gym or many of the things I've come to count on. In one week I'll be home, and hopefully pleased with my status. I rented a bike on vacation so every day I'll go for a ride to make sure I get exercise. I'm a little nervous about not being able to see my weight change daily.

@@winter1023 Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. At this point, I'm considering Accutane.
