Topic: RE: 5 Month Update for the March Crowd
Glad we're in this together! :)
I lose the same as you, except I would be happy with 10 lb bunches. Mine are more like 3-4 lb bunches every 3-4 weeks. :(

Thanks for the encouragement! I see so many people who have lost 80, 90 or 100 pounds that my little ol' 65 seems short in comparison. One lady in my support group had surgery on March 16 and is down 120 pounds!! I guess I'll just have to accept the 'slow & steady' route! :)
Topic: RE: Hair Loss
My hair has been falling out like crazy too!!! I've been taking biotin since 1 week post op, and it still falls out!! I just cut my hair short for the first time in about 20 years thinking that it would help, but it still falls out alot, now the strands are just shorter!!!! 
when I was at the salon getting my hair cut they told me about Nioxin, its supposed to help stop the thinning, i just started to use it, and I don't know how soon I should see results.... but hopefully soon! or I wont have any hair left to use it on! If anyone else has any suggestions, I sure could use some!!!!

Topic: RE: Hair Loss
I've been losing quite a bit too, looking at the sink after I brush my hairis a nightmare! I've been taking biotin too, hopefully it will stop soon, I've never heard of anyone going completely bald from WLS.

Looks like March 9 was a popular date for surgery! I have lost 64 lbs, so I'm right there with you Jen. I feel like it is going really slow compared to others, but I have been extremely greatful not to have had any problems at all, and I feel great. My weight seems to fall off in 10 lb bunches. I will go for 3 or 4 weeks without losing anything and then all of a sudden I will weigh myself one day and I will be down 5 or 10 lbs. It's strange, but as long as it's working I'll take it.
I can't believe how much some of you have lost already, how amazing!

Awww man!! I've only lost 65 pounds since my surgery on March 9. I know I'm not supposed to compare, but reading about all the weight you guys have lost makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong!!

Yeah I kinda follow the same thing... lose for a bit then nothing, then lose for a bit...
Vacation sounds nice! Where are you going? I think You will definetly reach your 100# mark by then! That is so awesome! I can't wait till I get there! I had set my 100# goal to be by my husband's birthday, NOV. 30
Yeah I love weight training, and have lost alot of inches even when I am not losing weight, all in total I have lost 64 inches from my body since surgery, so even when I am not losing weight I think the weight lifting is a little to blame for that lol. Well that's just what I will keep telling myself lol
Hope you have fun on your vacation I'll keep you posted on my goal!
