Congrats Kristy. Im proud of you and your loss. I had my surgery april 27th and I am down 138lb as of this morning. Doesnt it feel great. As for the hair loss, I know how frustrating it can be. Try eating more protein. I eat a lot of jerky, and so far (knock on wood) I have had NO hair loss. I concider myself one of the lucky ones. Keep up the great work "bony".

Wow you're doing great! I started out at 347 and I'm down to 212 and I completely relate to the hair loss ( I think that losing hair must have helped the scales move!!!) What are you doing for your hair? I can honestly say that this is my only negative effect from surgery!! Keep up the good work! Merry Christmas!!! Teresa

WTG! Im down to 220 from 302, since April 5, 2005. I posted new pics on profile in October. I will post newer ones after the holidays. My loss is S L O W, averaging maybe 10 a month. I started a new job and I am never still at work. I noticed Im loseing around 7 pounds a week now. I guess because Im too tired to eat or think about food at the end of the day and I am having to force myself to eat these days. So far, no hair loss. Ive been on Biotin and B12 since 3 months before surgery. My levels have stayed HIGH. This worried me since my levels were high but I suppose it is the thing that has worked for me, in the long run.

Hijack, Sandy. You are losing 7 lbs a week????? If I am really lucky and watch every thing that goes in my mouth I lose maybe half a pound a week. Even averaging 10lbs a month is incredible. Could I ask you to take a couple of minutes and tell me what you are eating to achieve that? I would so appreciate it. hugs from down under Helen
