That's great news, LeAnn!!! Congratulations! I hope to join you in a few months! Becky

Hello Barbara, welcome to the June Bugs, glad to have you. As you can see from the posts this week, there is a variety of quick and slow losers, there's those who lose hair and others who don't, but we're all just happy that we have had this surgery and glad to have another member on the board. Don't worry about that plateau, you'll keep losing as long as you follow the rules. Take care , Andrea (334) 305/249/140

Jacquie, I've started losing hair, I think, the second I had surgery. Maybe it was that I wasn't getting enough protein. I get a LOT in from just eating protein foods, but when I upped the intake after looking at some of the older pre-ops saying they STILL drink protein shakes daily, it stopped falling out. Most of the people I read about would start losing their hair at 3 months.. I was DONE losing by then. I eat lots of protein, always proteins first at meals AND get two shakes a day. Skim milk, to keep the calories down. Worked like a charm for me. I love unjury vanilla, but have gotten some excellent samples a few weeks ago, Matrix 5.0 vanilla or chocolate. Delish!!! You can get a five pound bag at BariatricEating.com for I believe around 45.00, a very good deal. Samples also available there I belive.Or Email [email protected] and see if they'd send you free samples, Syntrax, the manufacturer of Matrix, also makes the Nectar flavors ( which I dont care for, but Matrix is very good, I find ) I'd give it a shot, up the protein, seems like it worked for me Andra

Good Morning All! Surgery weight 305 ( highest 334 ) weight this morning 249, that's -56 since surgery (total -85 since March) I think we're all pretty much on schedule, and doing wonderful ! How is everyone tolerating foods? Honestly, I haven't found anything that I can't eat yet. Beef, chicken, it all goes well. Don't have any "hunger" feeling yet in my pouch. Can't say I miss it, either. Would be fine if I never felt hunger again as long as I live Take care ! Andrea (334) 305/249/140

My dr. gave me the go ahead for exercise at 6 weeks. I go to curves at least 3 days a weeks, will be going 5 days next week plus walking the track. I have also found when I do WATP videos consistantly I see results starting at 3 weeks, especially in my butt and thighs..
