Glad to hear that you finally had your turn Marianne, and that it all went well.
I had a few bites for Thanksgiving, but I still do not have much of an appetite, so it was a small mouthful of turkey, some mashed sweet potatos and a spoonful of stuffing. I struggle to eat daily, so I choose to pull in most of my protein via shakes and unflavored protein powder in chicken soup. My stomach seems to cramp up anytime I try something different, and most of the time results in it coming back up. Seems I have a very sensitive stomach!!
You are going to see that weight melt off now!! =)

You look so beautiful. I'm glad you are doing so well.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about the low protein diet part. Nearly everyone I've spoken too has had some form of hairloss. I'm sure the amount of protein that you consume may affect how much of a hairloss you experience, but overall, the hairloss is part of the rapid weight loss.

I certainly have plenty of hair on my head, so alittle thinning might not be too much of a big deal, but I'm going to keep my protein levels up to make sure I keep the thinning down to a minimum.

I'm heading off to Colorado for Thanksgiving, and then I have 3 weeks here in So-Cal before heading off to Australia. I'll have finals during that time, so maybe after finals week we can do some caffeine free tea

Yup, the hair loss process seems to have started for me. Nothing major, but I'm noticing a lot more coming out when I brush my hair and especially when I wa****

It would make sense because I'm hitting the 3 month (12 week mark). Thankfully, I have a very full head of hair, so I'm hoping even with the thinning, it won't show too much.

I still get in anywhere between 60-90g of protein a day, and am anal about my supplements. My multi-vitamins are taken twice a day, I take my iron and calcium citrate once a day, and I make sure to get as much water in as possible. Some days I'm way over my required water intake (those are my workout days), and other days I'm just at or below my required intake. It's still hit and miss for me.

I'm over 75lbs down from my heighest weight. I lost weight during our PC classes, but then gained it all back and then some after class finished. I have 70lbs more to go till I hit my goal of 165. Right now I'm losing on average around 20lbs a month (sometimes a litle more), so I am hoping to be around 200lbs by Christmas or shortly thereafter, and hopefully at goal before next summer.

Have to say, life is pretty damn good right now. I am on my own, and loving it. I realized that I don't need a guy in my life, no matter how cute I might think he is. Turns out that they all end up using your for something, it it's not money or sex, it's for their own ego trip. And I'm done with that.

That's pretty much life for me right now. How are the rest of my lovely PC ladies doing? Is there anyone left who from our group who is still waiting for surgery?

Love you gals.

Can you believe it was over a year ago that we all met in our special little class!!! We all thought we'd never get to the point of surgery, and now, here we are, with many of us post surgery.

Congrats on your 92lbs. I'm up around 75lbs lost since starting PC. I'm getting closer to  200, and even closer to having lost 100 also.

I feel amazing. I have so much energy, and have started up in many different things such as training for a 5k (to be able to run it), I'm in my second month of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (which I love) and I'll be going to my first Crossfit workout this weekend. I can't believe it....ME, doing Crossfit!!!

So who else is still awaiting surgery?
