Topic: 4 months today!
Well, today is my four month mark and what an amazing 4 months it has been! I've lost 94 pounds, a little hair, 8 sizes, a lot of aches and pains, and my sleep apnea!!! I'm not sure I can verbalize what I've gained! Except for PEACE! I am no longer tortured by my weight, what I ate, what I can't eat, and the constant hunger that used to dominated my life. I thank God for the wisdom he gave to the physicains who invented and perfected this surgery! I thank God for this website and the great support get here! Thanks Everyone! Kate J

Topic: Looking for size 18, anyone have some???
Hi all, I am looking for size 18 dress pants, dress shirts and a winter coat. The Vice President at my company commented again that the stuff I am wearing is simply hanging and being held on by safety pins. Ok, I get the message. I have checked the clothing exchange without luck for my work clothes. Does anyone have any they are ready to get rid of? ~Diana~

Careful, Shelley Anne, my doctor told me that I have to have MINIMUM of 90 grams of protein and preferably 100-120. Of course I had a different surgery than you did

Topic: RE: Hair Loss
My 2 Cents: This is all natural and will happen to most of us. I'm noticing a little loss but not too much. I take all my vitamins and supplements. I've added a biotin shampoo to my regiment. I don't do it every day, maybe 3 times a week. I also plan on adding Biotin & Niacin to my vitamin, but it very low doses. Niacin has been reported to make you turn red and heat you up if you take more than 100mgs at one time. Overall, some are worse than others. There are measures you can take, but I think if you're going to lose it, its going to happen anyway. Good news is that I've seen first hand that it does grow back and it gets even thicker. My best friend has fairly thin hair and she lost quite a bit, but now she has more hair than ever and she is 3 years out. Honestly, I'd rather be bald than 300 pounds and unhealthy. Amber
