Topic: Tomorrow is the day!!! again....
Well its finally here, again...my date is tomorrow for sure as I called Dr Royes office and was told to be at Rhode Island Hospital for 7:30. I cant wait. This past week has dragged on by so slow but now that its finally here, i am ready. not nervous, but anxious. getting a bit tired of the after effects of magnesium citrate but that should be done soon. I just want tomorrow to get here and get here soon. My wife will be posting with my post op status to let you all know how it went and how I am doing. Thank you all for the support and help through this journey up to now!

Topic: RE: slowing down!!!!
I have seen my weightloss slow down the last couple of months. I know I too need to get to working out more though so am hoping that it will help me get going again.
Good luck and hang in there. Check in with your NUT on wether you need to tweak your diet might be a good idea. Remember you need to make sure you are getting enough calories so you can loose. Counterintuitive I know but true just the same!
Hope to see you soon!

Topic: RE: I am Vain
I lost a lot of hair about 3 mos out and it had started to grow back in in late July. Then when I started having trouble with my stomach at the end of Aug/early Sept it started falling out again. I am thinking the second time is due to not enough protein as I have been having trouble meeting my protein requirements with all of this stomach pain.
At least I know it will grow back. I have the fortune of having longer curly hair so easy to hide the loss. Hang in there, make sure you are getting your protein and add some biotin and vitamin E was also recommended to me.

Topic: slowing down!!!!
hi everyone... it's certainly been awhile since i have posted. i hope all is well . i am hoping to get to a meeting soon to see everyone and all their progress... i bet you are all looking hot hot hot right about now!
the other reason for this post is.... anyone else experiencing a "slow" moving weight loss??? i am now down 85lbs, and it's seems like the last couple of weigh ins, i have been losing1-3 pounds in a 2 week span.... i am certainly grateful for that, but not sure if my body is trying to catch up at this point, or what is going on????
i was thinking of going back to shakes for a week or so, to get a jump on things...and i'm sure it'll help if i got my buttocks off the couch more...lol (it's getting chilly out there...)
having the same issues??? any feedback???? looking forward to hearing from you!!!!
take good care

Topic: RE: Another MIA post...... (long)
I knew there was a reason that I came back to this site!!! Laura, You have been an inspiration to me ever since I met you, and found out we had the same insurance, AND the same doctor, AND we got approved around the same time, AND Had our surgeries a week a part!!! I'm in the same boat as you darling, and will probably see you soon at meetings!!!! I can relate to the awkwardness of the meetings. But, Hang in there, and the great thing about "tomorrow" is it's a new day!! You can do this, WE can do this!!!! I miss you!
