Slow loser here. Also was at the lower end of of BMI. 55 lbs. 1487 + 55= 1542

I have lost 125 so that brings us to 1382...we rock!

I lost 62! 1142!!!!

What a great idea for a post - I've been wondering how everyone else was doing! Here are my stats: Highest weight: 287 Day of Surgery: 255 Current weight: 188 (only 1# to go to 100# lost!) Previous clothing size: 26W/3X Current: 16-18/XL I can eat just about anything, although I have had a couple of dumping episodes and I haven't really figured out the culprit. My calorie intake runs about 1000 per day, with at least 70 g of protein. I eat rice, noodles and potatoes, but only a little at any meal. I'm pretty full after eating the protein! I can tolerate some sugar and chocolate, so I try not to keep any of that tempting stuff in the house. I haven't had any carbonated beverages - I'm afraid I'll tolerate it and start drinking lots of it again! My weight loss has slowed (to about 4 lbs a month), but that is probably because I am getting closer to goal (155) and some illness (unrelated to the surgery) kept me from exercising much lately. Anyway, as long as the scale is going in the right direction, I'm happy. Hair loss seems to have slowed, but still ongoing. I was taking meds for diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, gastric reflux, and thyroid before surgery. Now, I take only thyroid and that is slowly being lowered as my body mass decreases. I have absolutely no regrets and recommend the surgery for anyone who has struggled with health issues related to their weight. Yes, I am having a very hard time adjusting to not shopping in the Women's section! Just can't believe I fit in those smaller sizes! My son and daughter-in-law took me shopping last week and helped me find sizes that fit! Wasn't that sweet of them? Sounds like everyone is doing great - keep up the good work!

my hair dresser said to also use a volumizing shampoo every other day and to use a volumizing conditioner everyday....
