That's awesome. I cant even imagine what it's like to be 155. Drs said 165 is my healthy weight but my goal has always been 180. Once I reach that, than I may aim for 165.

Wow!!! You look great!!! I'm considering the surgery. How do you feel now? Any issues with getting your liquids or protein? You mentioned hair loss. Is this still an issue? Would appreciate your comments.

I feel a 100× better. My body and I have learned what I can handle without feeling sick or getting acid reflux(which was a big problem for me) I only eat protien , veggies, fruit, and Greek yogurt. I keep it simple and try my best to reach my Dr's recommendations. My hair is doing great. A nurse I work with actually gave me a supply of hair loss regimen her husband sells. I won't lie, I believe that's what stopped it. I am also using coconut oil for my hair and skin. That also seems to be helping .

Your welcome. I needed all the support I could get since my family wasn't. Good luck with everything. The beginning is tuff but it gets better and you feel yourself again. Just a healthier version.

45# in 5 Months. I am thinking I'm a slow loser or it's not working? Although I do have to say it's working well at work having a gradual loss nobody's giving me the 3d degree :)

I always think I'm going slower than everyone else too. And I still worry it's gonna stop working. All I can do is take it day by day. I just prepped my meals for the next two days at work. That is the most important I think, even though there's still a lot of times I don't prep and than just pick through the day. Usually cheese or Greek yogurt. Soups also do well with me. My family still eats crap most the time. If I make something healthy they want potatoes or rice with it. I still don't eat either of those, rice especially was a weakness. I stay away from it

My family too...it's hard making the right choice but not had hard as before. I'm addicted to carbs !!! With the sleeve it's much easier to say no.
