Hey November surgery sisters!

Did ya notice when in the month you loose weight?  Meaning like what days of the month?  I only loose weight 10 days before my cycle.  For the rest of the month I stay exactly the same weight.  I started tracking this about 4 months ago because I was getting discouraged until I figured out what was going on!

Topic: RE: Hair loss
Hi, my hair was thin to begin with.  My dietitian recommends 60 - 80 grams of protein a day plus 1500 - 3000 mcg of biotin per day.  I am 9 months out and my hair is now re-growing.  Hair loss is a natural side effect of by-pass surgery and rapid weight loss.  This is something that should have been explained to you at the very start.  While I was a little shocked at how much hair I was losing at one point - I  knew to expect it and I also knew that it would stop. 

I have a great health team.

Topic: RE: Aug weigh in..
Hi everyone,
On Nov. 13, 2007 I had surgery and weighed in at 263. I now weigh 149 and size12 pants. I feel much better after removing my gallbladder due to stones. I hope to get back to walking everyday to help with my stress levels.

I also have notice this past month my behavior dealing with stress have changed. I am feeling mad at times, because I have changed my relationship with food.  I  miss having my food to comfort me. I miss the instint feel better solution.  I noticed after the surgery I was quick to pop pills for any little pain and enjoyed the feeling being high, way to much.  (I had to flushed the remaining pills.)  I love to go shopping even if I have no money, I will charge. (that's not like me)  I don't give in to other people's demand/wants and I will complain and say NO!!! ( I'm a total *itch but it's about time) I find it hard to deal with questions and attention about my new look from people who knew me heavy and now thin. That's probably the hardest part  for me. Has anyone gone through this or is going through this....

Hi Cathy:

I had my surgery the same day as you!  What a wild ride, huh?  I've gone from 251 to 155 and a size 26 to a size 10.  Life is amazing!

I'm Flo, I had my surgery on November 5th 2007.  I started at 346 lbs. and I'm at 240 now, a loss of 106 lbs.  My loss is slower than some because I'm limited in my exercise choices due to severe Plantar Fasciatis and Achilles Tendonitis in my left foot.  The good news is I also had problems with my right foot that have almost totally cleared up with the weight loss.  Unfortunately I'll need surgery on my left foot to get that one fixed up, but I'm putting that off as long as possible so I'm not "down and out" completely while still losing weight at a decent rate.
