Topic: RE: 1 month pre-op.........
Good Luck Barb.
I have found a product that helped my hair. It is called Biotin 2500 and I get it from GNC. It is 1 small pill per day. I am noticing alot of new hair growth and wish I would have found it 6 months ago when I had surgery.
Eat some Lasagna for me. That is the only thing I miss. I do not do good with pasta. But, I am 93 lbs and went from a 26-28 to a 14-16. I think I can do without the lasagna.
Topic: RE: Everyone's starting to notice
Brynne,
I tell people that I follow an Atkins diet and that I am working out. I told a couple of people when they asked and I did not like the "Oh, you took the easy way out" response. No one knows what it is like to walk in my shoes and the shoes of the other courages people who took a 1 in 200 shot in trying to be healther. I am happier now when I look in the mirror and that is the only response that I need.
Good luck and congratulations.

Linda,
Going by your date, you're only not even 7 months post op. 70 lbs. is great!
Topic: RE: 8 months after surgery
Glad to hear you are on the mend and feeling better! 70 lbs. is great! Once you start exercising you will feel even better and be motivated to do more!
Good Luck!

Topic: 8 months after surgery
Hi,
Im 8 months after my surgery and feeling much better than I have in
a long time. Two weeks after my surgery I was in a automobile accid-
dent. I was tranfered to a nursing home for rehab. I came home in
October. Im doing much better now.I have lost about 70lbs. with-
out doing exercise because of my ankle. I have to exercise now so
I can lose more weight. I will sign back in later.

I know it's funny saying that. I definately know that I will not be a size 18 that they ordered for me come June. At the rate I'm going, maybe a 12 or 14. Thanks for the support.

You are doing great!!! 
80 pounds??? That's awesome! 1-2 pounds a week is nice cause it gives your body/skin a chance to shrink back into place. When's your wedding? Is a size 16 going to be small enough for you! How exciting to have your wedding dress "taken in"! That doesn't happen very often! 
Keep up the good work!

Down 83 pounds is nothing to be sad about! That's awesome! It is great when people start noticing but a little embarrassing too!
I had the lap band and love it so I tell everyone about it when they ask. I do have friends that have been banded and aren't comfortable saying that they had WLS...so they just tell them the truth... they are eating less and exercising! Good enough and it's the truth!
Hang in there! You are doing great! Plateaus just suck, but I think it is our body catching up with the weight lost! Did you take your measurements, you've probably lost a few more inches!
Spring is coming!
