Topic: RE: Today I reached 100lbs lost!!
Thanks Melody! It is a lot, but it came at a price. I was really sick for a couple of months after, so that's probably why it was so much. I'll take it though lol.

Topic: RE: It's Mid July - what is your average calorie in take?
Sounds like you are on a very good plan with your Nut. I am sorry to hear you do not tolerate dense protein. I have not had any problems with it since I was at 1.5 months out. I cannot eat much when I do have dense protein but it is so good.
Topic: RE: It's Mid July - what is your average calorie in take?
I am 4 months post RNY. My dieticians have an 18 month progression food plan. Currently I have 4 ounces at meals and can have fruit/veg or protein between meals. I am to stay within the 600-800 calorie range.
Most days I am at about 700 calories, 80-90 gm protein and 120+ oz of fluid.
I find as the day goes on I am very full and sometimes nauseated. I usually can't eat dense protein at dinner and have greek yogurt and fruit. By the time I've taken my evening meds and supplements I am very, very full.

Topic: RE: Hair Loss
Thanks you guys! It's great to know I'm not the only one. I'm sure none of us will end up bald, right?
Topic: RE: Hair Loss
I have been losing A LOT of hair as well. I am so disgusted by it that I can't even bear to pick the pile of it up off of the floor - I have to have my husband do it......which is is awesome about doing. I have been losing for about 4 weeks now - 2 weeks of which I was in the hospital for kidney issues (very long story - but I am getting better now). I have heard the hair loss stops around month 6 - but that REALLY worries me. If I keep losing hair at this rate, I am pretty sure I won't have any left come month 6........I am suprised after I blowdry my hair that I even still have any.....daily.
I LOVE my hair - always have -- but, I think this is just one of our trials along the way to a healthier us. I personally think it is worth it -- and this is coming from someone *****ally L-O-V-E-S her hair.

Topic: RE: just over half way there
Sorry to say, I've never posted on the March forum before. I really haven't explored all the OH site has to offer.
I will try to get over to this board more often. I'm usually doing good if I can spend a half hour on the RNY board each day.
Best wishes to all my fellow Marchers!!

Topic: RE: What am I doing wrong?
I don't know your starting weight or your height, but I'd trade weight loss with you. I lost 18 pounds before surgery and have lost 46 since surgery.
I'm only 5 feet tall. I get in 80-90 Gm of Protein daily. I eat 4 ounces at each meal. Usually get in 120+ oz of fluids and get all my supplements in. I started taking probiotics after reading a thread on the RNY forum about 4 days ago.
I walk for 20-30 min 5 days a week and ride exercise bike 5-6 miles every night.
Guess I just lose more slowly. It can be dangerous to compare to one another. We are each so uniquely made.

Topic: RE: 4 month update with pics!
Great job. I'm losing much more slowly, but it is what it is. I've went down 4 sizes in pants. I am staying on my surgeons plan, so not much more I can do.
I cheer your success.
