Hi Lola,
I read your journey. You are doing very well. Congratulations on your weight loss. I had VSG about 4.5 years ago. I am still working on reaching my goal weight; however, the more muscle mass you have, the more you will weigh, but you can still stay the same size, as muscle is more compact than fat. Good thing you are measuring yourself. The working out is easier when you are closer to your ideal weight; however, I started working out when I reached 75% of my weight loss goals. I have since gone a bit up and down, which is normal, but now I exercise nearly every day. Lifting, core work, cycling, and now I am back to running again. You look great. Keep up the good work!!!
Hugs,
Txmom

Hi Lola,
My water intake could be much better. LOL. I drink a lot of electrolyte replacement drinks during and after exercise. I try for the zero calorie, or sometimes cut the sweetened ones with half water. I find that I am dehydrated a lot during cycling.
It seems to be a challenge for me to get enough fluids.
As far as protein, I am doing OK. I eat protein bars and try to make protein my main intake, although I do need some carbs before, during, and after cycling.
I try to stick to the no carbs otherwise, but I am not always successful.....
Thank you for asking.

Reading your journey is inspiration for me. I'm just beginning my journey. Attended an info meeting and have my 1st appointment with doctor April 21st. I'm 5'8", CW 275. So I also hope to loose at a rate similar to your weight loss. The hair loss really does concern me. So has your hair loss stopped or slowed? Is your hair growing again? Thanks

It has slowed but still saddens me because I know I never shed like this but I guess there will always be a tradeoff. I increased my vitamin intake and also biotin.
