Good Morning Everyone, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and has a great week. Before you start your week, share your WOW moment(s) with us. We love to hear from you and share your joy with you. My WOW moment was with my Grandfather. As most of you know he is in the hospital. He is now out of ICU and the other day he just kept looking at me and my Mother asked him why he was looking at me. He busted out crying and told me I was so pretty and he was so proud of me. I went over and hugged him and he told me not ever let anyone play me for a fool! Smart man!!! So, what was your WOW moment(s) this week? Gina

Hi Amber, I had surgery April 11th 2005 and I am down 77 pounds. My weight loss has slowed down a lot too, I notice no loss for 2 weeks then I will lose like 2 pounds. I average 1-2 pounds per week. I had issues with hair loss too and actually cut my hair pretty short to make it look fuller. I am getting in all of my protein and I always have so I couldn't explain the hair loss until I went for my last blood work I was low in iron,vitamin c, vitamin B1, and Zinc so I had to go buy a lot of supplements but I guess not only lack of protein makes the hair fall out but lack of Zinc. Hopefully in October when I go for my next blood work I will be all straightened out!!! Best of luck to you!! Jennifer 252/175/130-150??

Hi Christy, I never thought of myself as a lightweight but OK I guess I was!! I had surgery April 11th and I weigh in on Mondays so this is as of last week but I am down 77 pounds and have 25 to go to meet my surgeons goal My goal is less but I don't want to look too skinny who would have ever thought that would come out of my mouth!!! We'll see when I get there !!! Jennifer 252/175/130-150??

I was started off by my surgeon with IsoPure and for the 2 weeks that I was on liquids only, I couldn't stand the stuff. Now that I am on a regular diet, I supplement with IsoPure (Vanilla) daily and don't mind it at all. I tried the 20 oz. drinks and didn't like them at all, so when I run out of my vanilla, I'm going to try the chocolate one. Susan

I have gone from 3-2X pants to 14 and the problem that I have is that the legs get baggy but the stomach & waist are snug. My shirt size has gone from 2X to Large in Ladies NOT Womens!!!! Love passing that department. Maybe your stretchy pants are stretched to their limit! Go try on some different pants/style/size and see what happens. Susan Lap/RNY 4/28/05 234/189 goal: 125-139 5'2"
