Topic: RE: Warning: Thinning hair and sunburn
My hair is falling out too, and I also had very thick hair. But I take heart in remembering when I was just going threw the test for the surgery I met a girl at my docs office who was 9 mths out and she over heard my concern about the hair loss and told me it starts growing back after 6 months I just looked and her feeling like I hope so and she says to me look and sure enough she had baby hair I mean the stuff I see on my 7 year old after that I just said to myself whats going to be will be and after six months may I have all this baby hair growing in around my face. LOL. If not I guess I can always find a good wig Goldie
Topic: RE: What amazes you?
Sheila this is a great question and Im glad someone thought of it. I too can cross my legs didnt think of it until my sister said something about it and we all had a great laugh. I also now have my sneaker bow in the middle of my sneaker LOL sounds funny but that was one of the things I have been looking forward to since my many tries at Weigh****chers. I also do not sweat as much as I used to and can body surf again! Goldie

Topic: RE: Anybody just stuck???
hello all .......yes I am so stuck I think I eat to much I can eat everything, and its more then a 1/2 a cup I can eat foods with sugar ,I know thats bad........I am stuck at 240 for three weeks I lost a 100 pounds so far.......
Topic: RE: Anybody just stuck???
I feel ya! The last month or so my weight keeps getting stuck for about 2 weeks then I go down a pound or two. I was 171 for close to a month the scale went up a pound or two then down to 171 then just stopped moving. Today I finaly weighed in at 169. Of course with my luck it will be back at 171 in the morning, but I was just happy to see that number! Maybe it moved cause I threatened to run over my scale if it didnt start going down ( and trust me if it had still said 171 this morning it would have been under the wheels of my jeep lol!), maybe my bodies just readjusting the weight. Just keep exersizing, get your liquids in, and eat right and everything will work out. Were all gonna have days, weeks, and months were the scale wont move, we wont be happy but we have to remind ourselves that as long as we work our tool the weight will come off.
Ive noticed that I can eat more too at times. I'm not worried about it since Ive heard that around 6 months your pouch is ready for more. And it still reminds me whos boss too. Some days I cant even get a protein shake or 2 oz of food in me without feeling stuffed after the first sip/bite. Of course some days I can eat 3oz of chicken and 1 oz of cheese or pasta in at one sitting and be fine. My surgeon says that "I" should be able to have 5-6 ounces a sitting by now. Of course everyone is different though.
Now why couldnt I have taken my own advice?? I was going nuts the last 2 weeks lol!
Try threatining the scale. Worked for me lol!
good luck hun!

At first I was losing 15-25 pounds per month. Now I am losing 5-8 pounds per month. It feels slow compared to the first months but the inches have been coming off. I think our bodies have to catch up. I have lost so much hair (hope it grows back and I don't look like a Qtip) that I want to slow down for a while so my hair will grow back. I think you are doing great. I am able to eat more now but not like before. I notice when I drink all of my water and exercise I have a better drop for the week. Have a great day. Sarah

Hi Brandy..
well I would suggest to keep on eating since sometimes people stop eating and our bodies cling to the fat for dear life.. also you could up the water.. since its been so hot... dehydration is a MAJOR concern for us post ops.. stick with it.. dont waver and it will melt off..
You have come so far.. and you can go further.. you will be a HUGE looser..

Topic: Anybody just stuck???
Alright I am almost 6 months out on the 11th of this month and I too have noticed that I can eat more than I use to. However, it still is no where near what I use to eat!! Despite this, I am not losing. I have gone from 321 to 231 where I have stayed for two weeks now, before that I was at 241 for like a month!!! This sucks!!! Anyone else having problems like this. I know I am not perfect, and I don't always make the right choices, but dang I barely eat compared to what I use to eat!!! I am going to get back into exercising, so I am praying this helps!! Anyone else fustrated???
