Topic: To be 16 again
I have finally gotten to a size 16 regular. No plus..No added butt width. No nothing. This is amazing. I have not lost a pound in over a week and a half but inches must be shrinking. I will take inches over weight anytime. Also I bought a coat which now I have none to speak of. Drumroll please....Medium. I don't remember the last time I could say I could wear a medium coat. Now shirts are still x large to large but getting loose and blazers are size large. I am truly amazed. I don't remember wearing anything but large shirts in school and my weight was around 115. God Bless the people that perfected this surgery!!!

Topic: RE: Slow weight loss
I too am hungry all the time. I don't know if it is not enough water. They say that hunger pains could be just your body telling you that you don't have enough fluids. I am trying to increase consumption before I eat another bite. My surgeon tells me that if I get to a standstill in weight loss that I am probably not eating enough. So, increasing water and food intake might get your body going again. It seems to work for me. I too will lose one week and not lose again for a couple. I kinda like this because it gives the body time to adjust to the new weight loss. 68 pounds gone forever is quite an accomplishment. Don't beat yourself up for not losing enough and concentrate and congratulate yourself on such a fine job you are doing. What couldn't you do 68 pounds ago that you can do now? I bet that list is long and growing each day. Pat yourself on the back, you have come a long way baby!

I am six months post op and have only lost 68 which I think is very slow. I seem to fight being hungry all the time. I am snacking with fruit at least twice a day. Does anyone else seem to be fighting hunger??? I also seem to have many weeks that I do not change in weight at all. Please give me suggestions. thanks in advance
Topic: RE: gaining
Hi Rhonda!
I also get lethargic when I get my B-12 shots. I talked to my Doc.'s PA about it but I didn't get much of an answer. They just keep telling me I'm doing great and to keep up the good work. But I'm so tired all the time!!! I wish I could give you a solution.....If you find one let me know!! Good Luck!
P.S. I also gain weight on occasion, but then I loose it again, it's like loose 3lbs, gain 2, loose 2, gain 1, loose 3...etc.

Topic: RE: Hair loss is getting quite evident; eye glasses
My glasses did the same thing, I had mens style glasses, I mean who cares what they look like when you are so big.. and I had to get big glasses to fit.. Well I kept gripeing at my husband about my ugly glasses, and I went and got tiny little glasses that kinda dissapear on my face.. they are so light and nice. and not falling off my face if I bend over. I also got contacts which I find I am wearing most of the time now.. it is nice to be able to wear shades, and Goggles on the Harley.
I went Low carb to keep looseing, and My hair stopped filling my tub at about 6 months. My hubby wants long hair back, but hay.. like the one lady said we have to hide those regrowths in shorter hair.. Meat and Cheese, It is a good thing I am a cornavour. (spelling) I can not handel the protien drinks, so I am just eating Adkins. It appears to be working on the hair and the weight loss.. it is easer to follow now since I can not eat so much.. I was on it for 2 years once. But just could not stay with it then.
I have lost 65 pounds in 6 months.. and still planning on loosing about 60 more.. People can not beleave it when I tell them I was 125 lbs over weight. LOL. Good Luck with your hair, and enjoy those new glasses.. we deserve them .. By the way our hats are gonna be big some cold weather too. LOL.
Topic: RE: AND THE OSCAR GOES TO:::;
Wow you are loosing fast.. I had surgery april 9th, and I am down about 65lbs. According to the scale I used on your site I am ahead of schudle a bit my self. I started at 280,, It says I should loose to 199, but hay I want to go all the way to 156 which it says is normal for me.. I can remember being reallly hot when I weighed 145, so I think that would be even better.. You are about even with me now at 215.. But you started out heavyer. what is your secret.. I have started loosing faster again going on low carb.. I completley stopped looseing when I was eating bread, and drinking milk.. My Dr Told me to drink milk and i did at first, but it about killed my diet, LOL.. [email protected].. I will prob not remember to come back to this page, so here is my e-mail.................. My husband is also a Don, and he has been pretty good about it all.. but man was he scared. and ya know when we humans get scared we get grouchy and angrey.. But I went ahead and here I am a new woman, with a large Dunlap, (belly done lapped over my belt). LOL I have size 18 or less legs and a size 20 stomach. I can not get my dunlap fixed until next spring, after my body settels... But it will happen.. I have not joined a weigh club or anything yet, because I have to wait until after It gets colder and My riding lessons settel down some. I have a 4H group now that will be comeing 3 times a week for the next 4 weeks. so Can not start to work out until after that. But cutting wood helps a good bit. and so does riding horse.. which is about every day.
Well thanks for listening. Crow.
