Hey all! I'm at 5 months (surgery was 8-1) and have lost 125lbs. I still have a ways to go though. Down from a size 30 to an 18. Also gone down 2 shoe sizes!
Anyway, I don't know if any of the rest of you do this, but I've really enjoyed taking pictures of myself and comparing them. I took a picture pre-op and I periodically take a picture of myself in the same outfit and pose. It makes me feel great for a couple of reasons. 1) I see myself everyday, but never really get to look at myself, you know what I mean. This way I have a measure to compare. 2) I can show other's how much I've changed. 3) Recently I've not been losing much weight but lots of inches so this way I can see my body size changing even if the scale doesn't budge.
I would encourage everyone to do this if they haven't already. It will make you feel 10x better. Especially on a really yucky day.

Congratulations on your weight loss! That's great. I take flaxseed oil for hair loss, at least 2000 mg. twice a day. It seems to help.
Topic: It's getting better
I will be 5 months on Feb. 26 and it is finallly getting a little better. Finding something that you can eat and it sits well is great only to try it again the next day and it doesn't work for me is very frustrating. And the hair loss OMG it looks like a small animal is stuck to my shower drain everyday.
I had many regrets the first 3 months and I wouldn't recomended the surgery to anyone at that time but things are better and the compliments are overwhelming at times. I have lost 102 in four months and I go for a weigh in on Feb 9 and hoping to loose another 12 pounds. I have many more pounds to go, my pre op weight was 425.
Good luck to you all and hang it there.

Tammy,
We have the same surgery date and almost the same starting weight. I was 266 pre op and I have lost 73 lbs. too. I get the feeling that I'm doing awful too, but a lot of people say that after six months, they're in the eighties, like 80-87 lbs. At the rate we're going, that's where we'll be. Don't worry, we're okay.
Topic: Just found this forum. This is great!!
This message board is great. I have been feeling depressed about my weight lose, but I right with some of you, which makes me feel better. I'm 5-months out (8-26-03) and have only lost 73 pounds. I started out at 265 (5'6") and was told it would come off slow, but I was secertly hoping the doctor was wrong and it would just fall off!
