hey everyone! this is the first time i have visited this website in a couple of months and i just realized that since the surgery i have pretty much been in my own world in my head. its not that i dont care about the same things i used to or the people i used to, but my thinking is just different and i feel less preoccupied with everyone else's problems than i used to. i am a major caretaker by nature.. and now i am just so preoccupied with my own journey and everything i am experiencing that for once i just want to take care of me lol. anyone relate? i am doing really good.. down about 70lbs since surgery and 100 total! i have never been a steady looser.. i go about two weeks with NOTHING lost then BAM 5-10 lbs gone.. its kinda crazy. i have been hitting the gym hard for the past two weeks.. five times a week, twice by myself and three times with a personal trainer. i love it. each time i go i burn about 500-600 calories on cardio then i do up to an hour of weight traning. MY BODY IS KILLING ME though haha.. i am so SOREEEE. its a good sore though, a sore im proud of becuase i have earned it. each time i go to the gym i cant leave lol, i just keep going and going becuase all i can think of is that 6 months ago i would not have been able to do an hour of cardio or and hour of weights. anyways.. i hope everyone is doing great and if anyone needs anything let me know.. i feel like i want to be there for the people going through the same journey.. love you all!

This morning was the first time that chunks of hair was coming out as I was combing. My hair was always weak and breaking off but now its coming out in strands. Up until this point I was doing fine, my hair actually was growing but now its coming out. My co-worker came up to me and said "Oh, you got your hair cut!" I said, "No, its just coming out on its own." I hope that it stops soon. JaNae

Hi Laura, Have you tried this site? Powerlinetours.com I haven't had any trouble with my video since I started using this website. Good luck! LindaLee

My surgery was December 28th. I've lost 75 lbs so far. Sometimes I'm surprised by how much I can eat. Here's a breakdown: Cottage cheese about 1/2 cup with .25 cup fruit, chili-about a cup with 3 crackers, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup cereal, about 2 ounces of meat (still don't do well with meat). I average between 800 and 1000 calories a day. I drink one or two protein drinks a day.
