January 15, 2015

post I had it done oct. 29th, 2014. I feel I am doing well, not losing real fast but a total of 54# I lost 34# before surgery. but I am happy as long as the scale is showing a steady loss. after surgery for a few weeks I had positively no energy.

January 15, 2015

I hear the no energy in pretty normal dont have mich now so will be pretty normal. Lol hoping to improve that they said plateaus would hiit then you start losing again but 54# is great still hang in there keep in touch with how youvare doing orcif you just need to vent

January 15, 2015

yeah I must be changing, I did up my protein and try to drink more liquids so maybe that has something to do with it. also been a little more active. I lost another # since yesterday.

January 15, 2015

February 10, 2015

Maryella, When did the hair loss start? I've heard month 4 post op a couple of times. Thanks.

February 10, 2015

I wasn't sure if I was having normal hair loss or if it was from surgery. I still have "normal" amount of hair but I do think it is a little bit more than normal hair loss. And I think it's been in the past month or so. And I am about 13 weeks.

February 10, 2015

Thanks.

February 10, 2015

A freind of mine said the hair loss started at about 6 months for her but was not terrible she is taking biotin twice a day and has new growth she is 8 monthe post now and lovin life

February 10, 2015

February 10, 2015

She takes that amount twice daily

February 10, 2015

February 6, 2015

Auburn1 how are things going?

February 6, 2015

I am doing well. Thanks for asking. I'm tolerating the liquids, protein, supplements well. I started my 45 walks again yesterday, and I've lost 2 pounds. 4 pounds if you count the extra 2 pounds I had after surgery. My loss seems slower than most, but I'm feeling good about everything! Now off for my long walk. : )

February 6, 2015

Doing well. Thank you. I'm tolerating all the fluids, protein and supplements. I had surgery 1 week ago and I managed a 45 minute walk yesterday and today. Getting stronger every day. I've only lost 2 pounds from my pre surgery weight, but 17 pounds overall from pre op diet. As of today I'm 5'8" 219 pounds. Actually, I'm loving being on vacation! I closed my entire office. Here my laughter...ha ha hah!!!!! Happier every single day. How are you?

February 10, 2015

Getting excited as time gets closer for my date hope to get one within the next two weeks but am so glad to hear you did well and spriits are up.Keep up the good work!
