4 month Check-In: How Much Gone??

Height: 5' 5" Started: 241 As of today: 180 Goal: 140 61 pounds gone!

Hi everyone. I was 4 months post yesterday. start: 277 lbs current: 227 lost: 50 lbs / 67lbs total (17 pre-surgery) I haven't lost clumps of hair yet but am shedding like a horse!!! Panic has not set in yet. Think I will try the nioxin (just in case it works) ha, ha, ha. I am struggling to get in more than 30 oz of fluid a day and have not even come close to the recommended 65 grams of protein. I think I am getting about 30-35 a day (pretty sad). I am going to go back to having 2 protein drinks a day (30 grams) and then try to get some more food in. Anyone else have this problem? I can eat pretty much anything without problems (except milk). This is probably not a good thing.

Michele, You sound just like me. I started at 278 surgery day, ( pre surgery lost 6 pounds) so far lost 48 lbs / 54 pre op. I have been losing my hair like crazy, I bought shampoo and conditioner at sally's (nioxin) . it has been very hard for me to get in my protein, and just this past week I have on some day got up to the 60-70 range, finally ever in the whole 4 months. with help I found the protein lemonade nectar, great stuff. in the protein shakes I just could not do, they are way to thick and gets me full after a few sips, and this goes down like water to me. hopefully this will get me going on that right track. Thanks Delia

Starting: 391 - super obese Current: 278 Goal: 170 Height: 5'10" Lost: 113 Wanna Lose: 108 more pounds Exercising daily (walking, exercise bike, yoga, swimming, weight training, and/or resistance training). I find that when I switch up my exercise routine, I lose a lot more weight. I've been losing hair by the handful for about 4-6 weeks now. I don't have any bald spots, but my hair has thinned out considerably. The Biotin has helped slow it a little bit, but not much. I'm happy with my energy level, weight loss, and general results. Julie I still love the Nectar Lemon Tea protein mixed w/16oz of CL lemonade
