Topic: RE: My hair is falling out!!
Me too, Me too!!! Thank goodness my hair was really thick to start out with. But I started to notice that it was getting more limp and straggly, so I got a short sassy hair cut. It is so much better now. And it is now falling out a bit less than before.....at least I don't notice AS much since it is short.

I need a new pic. now....this one is pre-op!


Topic: RE: 4 month updates ?
Hi all of you June bugs!!!!
My 4 month will be on the 16th. and including pre-op weight that I lost I am down 71 pounds fro 259 to 188. I went from a size 20W/22W down to a 12 stretch. My tops are down to a large (12/14) from a 2X! I am glad that I am not the only one that has been losing slow lately.....this month has been slow just (10 pound loss).
But I guess that is pretty good, a little over 2 pounds a week on average. My ring size even went down to a size 5 3/4!!!! It hasn't been that small since before I had my 3 kids!!!! I love my new life! Thank you Dr. Jeffery Baker!
Congrats to all of you!!!!!!!

Topic: RE: Ok what the heck is wrong with me???
Well I think you are doing wonderful. I have lost 59 pounds since June and I think if the doctor asked me that same question I would have to slap him/her. Keep up the good work 55 pound is nothing to sneez about. You are on track. My doctor told me that 2 pounds a week is good but if it dont happen dont freak out. So Congradulations on what you have already acheved and keep up the good work.

Topic: RE: How is everyone doing?
I am doing good. Just on a plateau going on 3 weeks. I started out at 293. Today I am 226, so I have lost 67lbs. But in the last couple weeks have only lost 1 pound. But is okay, (FOR NOW : ) I can eat about anything...pork is the only meat I can't tolerate. I haven't had any major bouts of being sick...just in the beginning when I ate too fast or didn't chew my meat well enough. I went from a 24/26 to a 16 in tops and pants. Bra went from a 46DDD to a 40DD I exercise 3-4 times a week and get in at least 64 oz of water but try for about 90 each day. Protien is still a battle, some days good, some not. And oh yes, my hair has started to fall out. But I am so excited with the prospect of being under 200....who cares. Worse part has been finding a birth control I can live with. I got The Shot in August and properly have been on my period for 5 of the 9 weeks I have been on it. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Best Wishes
