Laura's RNY Journey; Age 31 Starting Weight 365

hair LOSS

So, I just wanted to post that my hair has just started to fall out. I’m 7 weeks out from surgery but 9 weeks out from liquid diet. So that’s pretty much the two month point. I’ve heard it’s between 1-3 months when Hair loss starts. So far it hasn’t been too bad. My hair is really thick and healthy. I’ve read you loose about 30% so I’m not that worried. I’m definitely interested in that scalp spray if needed. Oh and my skin has cleared up a lot. I have so much less acne now. It’s great! My personal training is going well. I still haven’t dropped weight. I forgot to get on the scale today so maybe I’ll see it tomorrow.

Today was my second time eating out. The first time I ate the beef/cheese portion of nachos. This time I had jalapeño poppers and ordered Soup but I couldn’t eat it. I didn’t really like it plus I was full. But the strangest thing about eating out is not being able to drink the Water.

Hey Guys and Gals! I made it to 315! I started at 365 in July and had surgery July 25th. I lost 15lbs on the pre-op diet. So I’ve lost 40 lbs since surgery and 55lbs total in 21/2 months. I have a long way to go but I’m working out twice a week with a personal trainer so my body is in better shape as well. I am struggling with energy. I eat a good deal of calories, and even carbs but I don’t think I’m getting enough Protein. That all changes tomorrow. I have a bunch of protein items in my grocery cart. I have my Protein Shake every morning but I need more. I get a good deal of sleep and plenty of Water but I’ve decided to add coffee back in with sugar free Creamer. My hair is falling out but by bit daily but I think protein and lack of consistent Vitamins is adding to the problem. So I have work to do. I hope everything is going well for everyone!

Congrats you look great

So I’m at 310. I need to be careful not to drink my calories. It has been a crutch to have juice or an extra Protein Shake. But my work outs are great. Still having trouble logging my food but just got a new phone so I’m hoping my apps will work now at work. I use Baritastic not MyFitnessPal so I couldn’t just log in to the computer. So, I’ll keep you all updated. I feel like I should be losing more but we will see!

307-moving along again! Down 58lbs, 38 from surgery. 2/1/2 months since surgery!

[Laura7 334]

Wow it has been awhile since I have posted. I’m at 303 and this week I’m really going to keep my calories in check. I’m 38lbs away from my next goal of 265. So, here we go! Hopefully I’ll check in this Friday to see how my week went!
