Hi everyone..I see most everyone is doing great! WOOHOO!! My labs came back with just my iron alittle low. I am however losing lots of hair. I am lucky to have think curly hair, so my peole tell me they can not tell. Just scary to see hair all coming out. I am now 225 (preop was 284, surgrey was 270) so I figure that is not too bad. Seems to be just creeping down now..has not move in a week. I know I have to increase my exercise(tone everyday but walk 3 times a week), but I usually get in 64 oz of water a day and 75 grams of protein a day..so I think I am on track. Well, take care all!!!

Karen, It looks like we have another person doing great. It sounds like you are right on track. The thing with the hair makes me nervous. It hasn't happened to me yet and I am hoping to skip that! I already have thin hair. Great job. Keep it up. Terrie

Oh Karen, I hear you on the hair! Mine also feels dirty all the time. Has yours felt like that? I also started out with thick, curly hair. I keep it up most of the time now because it looks so bad. I bet if you upped your protein by one drink a day, it might help. I find that when I exceed my protein goals(80g), I feel a ton better. You're doing awesome on exercise! Keep it up baby! Whoop!
