Good luck!  Remember... we got stomach surgery, not brain surgery!  :-)  Just don't swallow the gum cuz that could be big problems!  Good luck!

What is it with everyone asking how much we've lost!!!  I'm with you!  I hate having to say "I didn't lose anything.  I'm on a plateau".  Which I seem to be on right now again.  So aggrivating!  Anyway, hang in there!  You're right, being under 300 pounds is an amazing accomplishment!!  Can't wait to be under 200 but I'm a long way off from that.  :-)  Keep up the good work!!

Thank you for the encouragement.
I am down 66 lbs, 16 before surgery and 50 after.  I am really grateful about that.  And I am thrilled to be under 300lbs, it's been so long since I've been this weight that I can't even remember exactly how long it's been.  Yet Iike you i wi**** were more.  I think that I would be less upset if people weren't always asking me how much I've lost.  I've been feeling embarrased to say I've only lost like 2lbs in October.  But hey, I weigh less than 300lbs - so yay me!  And yay to you too.

I just bought gum last night to help with the head hunger!  Hope it works.

You girls are havin' just WAAAY too much fun!  But you got me thinking about a plan for the holidays.  I plan to:

1.  Not deny myself anything - just keep it to a taste.
2.  Not over eat at any meal.  (I am so afraid of stretching my pouch!)
3.  Spending time on visiting rather than eating.

Can't wait to see how we all make out!

lol - you know it - we'll just have to go clubbin' together and find us some hotties :-P ooh la la. Seriously though, we'll all have to meet sometime at one of these OH events they have. I personally would LOVE to go to Hotlanta!! Ooh la la....partay on!!

Speaking of bags, have you ever heard of these? Miche Bags? I've been invited to go to a house (sales) party this Sunday. They really do look great, but I'm thinkin' they're gonna cost me a pretty penny, but at least I can look at it this way, I won't need to worry about growing out of it :-) http://www.michebag.com/pages/how-to then to see some shells http://www.michebag.com/category/shells

Hi there,

My weight loss has been very slow the last couple of weeks.  I'm just over 3 months post op and have lost 67 pounds.  I'm not complaining because I would have never lost like that without this surgery but I wi**** was more.  I walk 2 miles 3 or 4 times a week.  I need to work on my mental hunger.  I think I'm hungry and things go into my mouth.  I'm now chewing gum to keep my mouth busy.  I know the docs say no gum but it's the only thing that helps me otherwise I'll be snacking.  I had plateaued for 4 weeks about a month after surgery so try not to get too frustrated.  My doctor told me that your body needs to catch up to what's going on so it's normal to plateau for a bit.  Hang in there and good luck!!

Topic: RE: Biotin
I take a 1000mcg sublingual Biotin daily.  My hair is falling out, but I have super thick hair, so it's not going to be as noticeable.  It is thinning out quite a bit though.  I wi**** would get straighter as it thins..but no such luck.
