Rdsegobia 121 Posted November 30, 2015 @@rln52 oh my goodness can't wait to be 155 lbs!! Congrats on your excellent progress. My goal weight is 150lbs and is maybe because that's the lowest weight I remember ever being. I can't picture myself below 150 lbs but will see what my body wants to do. It is super exciting to fit in smaller clothes. By the way we share the same surgery date 8/10/2015. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rln52 136 Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I know we do! I saw your post. My goal seems impossible but I still want to try for 125lbs. I am 5'1" so a shorty. I haven't been that small since teen years. My mom is like that and we have similar body structure. I need 30 lbs. Everyone says the first 6 months is when weight loss is best and we still have 3 more months for 6 months post op. I am hopeful. I started going to gym 2 X a week. Last week too hard with travel and holiday. Will get back to it this week. Good luck to everyone on reaching our goal. Great thing is usually at end of year we are all thinking about dieting this year we are already on the journey and succeeding!!

lorri716 256 Posted December 1, 2015 I'm so glad to see a few others joining us. It's nice to have people who share similar traits. Keep up the good work everyone. My 3 months is tomorrow. I won't be getting on the scale because my mother is having major back surgery tomorrow and we have to be at the hospital at 530 in the morning. I'll be lucky to get a shower lol. I'll check my weight on weds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cindi gant 101 Posted December 1, 2015 Look for the NSV's and rejoice in them. Like, do your clothes fit better? Can you buckle the seatbelt fit better? Can you walk to the mailbox without getting out of breath? Do your knees hurt less? Is your sleep apnea gone? Those were my non surgery victories. Yours may be different.

Rdsegobia 121 Posted December 2, 2015 I went to the Vitamin Shoppe store today and bought the silica pills supposedly those are good for Hair loss. I will start taking those together with the Biotin and will update you guys in the progress. Hopefully this helps to stop the hair loss I been having.
