HEY GUYS

I JUST FOUND THIS AND JUST WANTED TO COMPARE WITH EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS GOING THE RIGHT WAY. SURGEY WAS 8-25 AND I HAVE GONE FROM 359 TO 266, 95 LBS AND FROM 46 D BRA TO 42 c I HAVE BEEN ON A PLATEAU FOR THE PAST MONTH BUT JUST BROKE IT LAST WEEK BY LOOSING 6LBS MY 6 MONTH CHECK UP IS THURSDAY. HAVE I LOST ENOUGH? MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT ALOT TOO, BUT I CAN DEAL WITH THAT AS LONG AS I LOOSE ALL THIS WEIGHT. JEN

You're doing terrific Jennifer. Keep up the good work.

There have been many times I have questioned if my loss is enough and if I was doing things the right way. But just as I think I am doing something wrong, I hop on the scale and it starts moving down again! I am 6 months out and have lost 83 pounds. So I think you are doing ok. I look at it this way as long as the scale is not going up then we are doing ok. If you start eating more protien you will probably notice you will drop weight faster. Tina

Your doing great Jennifer..real great. But its not good to compare..everyone is different. I have compaired and sometimes still do...at the start I got my feelings hurt..But I am very happy with what I have done and what I expect 2 do. Hair loss...thats hard 2 compaRE also...Ive started losing mine at 2.5 mnths out and is just now slowing down...wow what a long time...some people lose until a year out! wow I hope they had alot of hair before wls. But your right we can deal with that loss...it will be back with the "new us" WISHING YOU ONLY THE BEST DI!

Hi Jennifer Congratulations on losing 95 pounds! We had our surgery on the same date - I guess that makes us twins. I have lost about 80 pounds, so I think you're doing great. My hair is coming out like crazy also. It started at about 4 months out - I'm hoping it will stop soon. Keep up the good work! Joyce

Dear Jen: Congrats on the great weight loss; that's a major battle won in anybody's handbook. The other comments advising AGINST comparrisons is 100% correct, your doing great and will continue to do so. Keep your focus on the program that you have been following with sucess up to now and you'll do find. My wife had her surgery in July (July 15th) and has similar results to other member's comments; she has lost "a tad over" 100 pounds; I make mention of her loss as she also had a hair loss problem; that was alarming at first (thought she was a "kemo" patient for awhile) but now the loss problem has subsided and the hair growth is getting back to normal; basically increasing protein intake resolves or aids with this. Don't be a "scale watcher" either as they move "snail slow" when your loss reaches the level yours has now. Maintain your faith and sense of direction; resist urge to graze or snack and now that warmer weather is starting begin long BRISK walks or riding a bike( you know if you have done it right if you sweat up a storm) with new energy from not hauling around that hundred pounds(or close to itr) that six months ago you were burdened with. I'm now over 124 pounds lost and make every effort to exercise and take long walks and such and you laugh at the silly smile I have all the time because I FEEL GREAT and wish everyone else should feel so great. Your right on track young lady So keep on Truckin as we used to say "Jen's makin her Way" Good luck and MUCH continued Sucess!!!!
