Three months post op and down 64lbs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone!!! I know I posted this a few days late, just keeping busy with my sons school stuff, and getting ready to go to my moms to visit since I have my appt with my Dr on the 3rd. I am down to 234lbs, I hope to be at my next goal of 230lbs when I get to the Dr's, since I weigh this much while Aunt Flo is visiting, lol. This has been an interesting journey, and I have been blessed with a great recovery. I wish all of you the best on your journey wether it is just starting, or long into the journey. Thank you all for all of your support!!!- Melissa

Melissa you are doing beautifully! I am so proud of you and happy for you. Keep up the good work. You'll be at goal before you know it.

Thanks Nita!! You are looking great! Thank you for all of your support sweetie- Melissa

Melissa, you are doing so well! Congratulations. I'm sure you'll make your next goal. Cheryl

Thanks hun! You are doing great too!! I love the new us!- Melissa

Melissa, Congratulations! Isn't it wonderful? I've not had too many problems either -- I'm following the protocol pretty closely. I'm right behind you at about 57 pounds. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he says all is well. I can't believe it! I thought those first 3 or 4 weeks lasted FOREVER, and now the wonderful time is just flying by. I'm even starting a new job on Monday, and feel the tide changing forever. Every day I wake up and marvel at how good I feel. I'm so glad you're feeling it too!! Marcia

Yes sweetie, it is the best feeling!! You are doing great!! Congrats on the new job. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Keep up the good work hun!- Melissa

So, at this point how's your hair doing? Mine is falling out like crazy. Yours is long like mine -- I'm thinking about changing hairstyles...any ideas? I'm just wondering what it's going to look like when it starts growing back in. Marcia

Oh my yes!!! I am starting to lose is like crazy!! It is everywhere :cry: I am thinking about cutting it, but I love long hair. I used to have it down to my butt so it is short for me now as it is. I have always had thin hair, and was getting thinner as I got older. I know they say it grows back, but if you are normally losing it how do they know it will really come back? This is a big concern for me, but only time will tell. For the ones who lose hair for months, if that is me, I will be bald, lol. I will have to look into some wigs then. Short hair will probably be better as we are losing, cuz with the long hair you see all this beautiful long strand leaving saying bye bye, lol. Keep me posted on how yours is doing k?- Melissa

Hey meanie! Glad to see that you are here finally. LOL I am stuck again. As you already know. Just can't get in all that protein. But I am working on it still. You know I hate protein shakes as well. I really can't wait to see you this Friday!!!!!!!! No pictures please!!!!!!!!!!!! I still look terrible!!!!! I know, if your mom is there, there is no way of getting out of it. LOL I tried last time and she didn't let me. LOL I am so excited!!! I am so glad to see that you have lost so much. You will get to your goal. You still have one week. See you then ya nut!!!!
