JUNE-bugs weigh in...
My lap RNY was on June 8, 2004. I'm down 79.25 total INCHES and 75 pounds. I've gone from a 26 to a 16W pants, 12/14 dress, and M/L shirts! I feel GREAT except for the balding. Like others, I see LOTS of scalp and every time I wash my hair - I lose at least a drainful of hair. I've got a wig "just in case" and my hair dresser is dying and highlighting and coloring it like my own. I keep telling myself it's only temporary and the other "losses" i've had more than make up for this cosmetic problem.

starting weight was 5'10" 305. I am about 205/204 ish. depending on the time of day. Someone take that scale away from me!! 50lbs to go to be at MY goal. 40 to be at My surgeons goal for me....
I go to the gym 4-5 days a week.
I have lost half of my already thin hair. I too look like a cancer pt.
My weight loss has slowed. But as long as it doesn't go the opposite direction I am good. As far as protine goes. I don't count. I know I don't get enough. I don't count calories, and I don't count carbs. My carbs are very limited tho. I drink massive amounts of water/tea with splenda. Love it. Wouldn't take it back for anything...
and yes, getting hit on is SOOO weird. almost disgusts me. I think I may neet to see a therapist.. Lol
the best things I have gotten from this are 1 my health and 2 My sex drive.. Hell yeah..
Feels good to be a loser.
