Topic: RE: Update on my progress! Hope u guys are ok too!
I just got an email that my calcium from BA was shipped. I can't wait. I ordered it a long time ago. I too am taking all the vitamins but not the calcium. FYI...I also got the BA coffee protein and I LOVE it. It is like a coffee shake.

Congrats on your weight loss so far and breaking out of the stall. They suck! You'll have to post how you like the new chews from BA. I'm interested to hear. Someone told me that if they're the same as the other brand that got discontinued, they're sort of like a Milky Way. That sounds nummy. :-)

i am losing A LOT of hair too! It sucks! they are comiing out in bunches now and i already have thin hair to begin with..when does all of this stop??
Topic: RE: 90 Day check in, Where you at?
I know, what I was expecting and what's happening are not at all close. Sucks! Maybe I had unrealistic expectations. I keep telling myself, I wouldn't be losing AT all if it wasn't for the surgery, and at this point all I can do is what I'm doing. I know exercising more will help. I need to force myself to increase my treadmill time. I had been doing 6 days a week for 15-20 minutes. I went 25 minutes this morning. My goal for now is to do 30 minutes 5-6 times a week and add a little strength training with light weights.

Topic: Update on my progress! Hope u guys are ok too!
hey guys! I hardly post on here anymore so just wanted too say hello. I am doing ok. I think i have just gotten out of another stall...i was hovering btween 176-177 for about a month but now I am btwn 171-172 as of yesterday. 'that is 52-53 wt loss since surgery. I am losing A LOT of hair and i hate it. i am now on all my vitamins like i am supposed to. i wasnt on my calcium citrate bcuz i couldnt find any good ones but my NUT gave me some. I also ordered the calcium chews from Bariatric Advantage but they are on back order. anyway hope all iis well with u guys!
Topic: RE: 90 Day check in, Where you at?
Hi Kristi,
Boy! Do I feel like I wrote your post! I was just talking with a co-worker who also had the surgery. Mine was on 12/08/08 and hers was on 2/20/09. I have lost 53 lbs and actually gained a pound last week. She has already lost 33lbs. I am down only one pant size and feeling like a super slow loser as I had other co-workers who had the surgery tell me they were down a pant size every month! I feel like I am going to be the one the surgery does not work for. So many people tell me that I have done great and it will come off. All that talk is nice, but I want numbers darn it! I have arthritus in my right knee and left foot so am limited on my exercise. That, plus I hate exercise anyway. I weigh and account for my food every day. Even with my body size, the calorie count I am taking in says I should be losing 4 lbs per week. Not even close!
Anyway, just wanted to jump in and say I feel what you are feeling! I have lost only 8 lbs in the last month. I really expected 15-20 this soon out. :(
Keep in touch!
