istytehcrawk 256 Posted May 30, 2018 Stats first: HW 427.4 (Jan. 2) SW: 413 (Feb. 15) Last week: 353 Today: 353.2 So, up 0.2 since last week, but down 58.8 since surgery and 74.2 overall. That 0.2 pounds is probably just a glitch, because I'm due for a "bad" week after having two decent ones in a row. Hair loss is ongoing and annoying. Boobs are shrinking, which is even MORE annoying. I have faith the hair will come back. The boobs, not so much. Not much else to report. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stefanie0804 36 Posted June 2, 2018 Okay its been a long 3 months Had my Surgery feb 20th, and for a while there I was stuck at 210lbs Didn't matter what I did. I forced the Protein in drank more Water and went for longer walks and IM FINALLY UNDER 200lbs!!! I haven't been under 200lbs in 10 years. But here is why I'm really here today- is anyone else having the dreaded Hair loss? my hair is falling out and breaking worse then a golden retriever in sheading season. I've been taking Biotin even prior to surgery. but my hair has become soo thin. Ticks and trips that work? things you've read online? or am I rocking a ponytail for the rest of my days to come? 2 clsumrall and istytehcrawk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clsumrall 535 Posted June 2, 2018 You can buy the collagen peptides. Unflavored. 10 grams Protein plus so much collagen which helps rebuild hair skin and nails there are a couple of different companies. Just make sure it has 10 gram of protein or more. I bought mine from Amazon. 1 clsumrall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoWhiskey 18 Posted June 2, 2018 Hey February family, my check in HW 365 SW 325 CW 263 gbypass date 2/12/18 Everything seems to be going good. I’m grateful for all of you being here and sharing your experiences. I really feel so much better physically, walking stairs with no pain, sleeping better and so much energy. If there is a downside, I have problems with eating chicken. It doesn’t matter how it’s cooked, it has to be chopped into tiny bites before I chew it to paste, and then sometimes it still gets stuck on its way down. I don’t seem to have that problem with any other Protein. That being said, I really don’t have cravings or feel hungry yet. I fuel my body with protein and veggies and a piece of fruit a day. Have gone low carb, after figuring out that when I eat carbs, my joints become inflamed and I retain Fluid.< /p> 1 clsumrall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JenniferY 6 Posted June 6, 2018 Hello, friends! I made it to Onederland!!!! First time probably since I got married 14 years ago. It feels great to buy smaller clothes. Eating is going ok. I really need to get back to using my Baritastic app to track my food. Some days I feel like I'm eating too much, other days I forget to eat. Ugh! My hair is falling out like crazy. Wahhhhhh! I'm using Nioxin Shampoo and taking 10K of Biotin a day. Oh well, it will grow back. Went out for sushi with my husband last weekend, and asked for options without rice. There were two rolls on the menu without rice already! It was fabulous! Sometimes you think life is over because of all the foods you can't have, but times like this make me happy We were talking about life and social events revolving around food--and people noticing that you're not eating. So true. I said I feel like I get noticed more for not drinking alcohol. How about you guys?

istytehcrawk 256 Posted June 6, 2018 Stats first: HW 427.4 (Jan. 2) SW: 413 (Feb. 15) Last week: 353.2 Today: 353 Another crap-tastic week, blah. hair falling out rapidly but so far isn't noticeable visibly (amazingly, considering how thin my hair already was). Fingers crossed it stays that way. I was down to 350 the other day but am back up to 353 today; trying not to get too frustrated with it. Getting sick of most foods I eat, which is annoying. I'm a fairly picky eater, so my choices are already somewhat limited by that, let alone by what my stomach will tolerate and what I'm not tired of eating.

istytehcrawk 256 Posted June 13, 2018 Stats first: HW 427.4 (Jan. 2) SW: 413 (Feb. 15) Last week: 353 Today: 347.4 So down 5.6 since last week, 65.6 since surgery and an even 80 since my high weight in January! Talk about a jump! Not sure what caused it, because this week I experimented with adding in Pasta and bread (no issues with either!), so I fully expected my weight to either stay the same or go up a little. Not that I'm complaining! (Except for about my Hair loss -- I'm always complaining about that!) This week I hit the 17-week mark (Thursday) and the four-month mark (Friday). Since surgery, I'm averaging a loss of 3.86 pounds per week and 16.4 per month. IF I can stick to those averages permanently (which I know isn't realistic for a variety of reasons), I would hit my goal weight of 165 in mid-May to early June 2019 (which would be AMAZING as my own tentative/admittedly kind of lofty goal is to hit goal weight by 18 months from surgery, which would be Aug. 15, 2019.
