Topic: RE: buying clothes...
 Try shopping at consignment shops. They usually have good clothes and you can consign your clothes as well. Do that until you get to your goal and then go on a shopping spree.
Topic: RE: can WLS'ers get hair sewn in? Not a wig fan
 I have had a sew in since surgery and I worked fine for me. Just be careful not to braid too tight because too much stress will cause your hair to shed even more. I also have tried the glue with the protectant and it works has helped my hair grow. Just have to google different things online.

Topic: RE: 6 months 60lbs?
 I have lost 65 lbs and 6 mths out. I only wanted to lose a total of around 80 all together so I guess that is good. It's doable if you stick to your guns and stay focused.

Topic: RE: How long will this last???
 I have been stuck at the same weight for a month now. I exercise 5 days a week doing elliptical,walking,treadmill,stationary bike,toning,and Zumba.

I eat a minimum of 50 carbs,60-70 grams of protein,about 800-900 calories a day bc of the exercise,i get my water in at least 70oz.

What can I do te get the pounds to start dropping again?

I started at 249,now Im 189, my goal is 165... HELP!

Topic: RE: Hair Loss (specific style question-weaves/braids/etc.)
 I am five months out and always had a good grain of hair. my hair has shed a little but not so much. I have opted to wear a sew in for the summer because I workout daily and my hair is a mess when I leave the gym. if i were you I would wait because some people have a lot of shedding at around three to four months. I am going natural as well so the sweating is a major problem on my roots.lol
Topic: RE: Had band for only 3 months - anyone with similar case?
 I had the band for a few years but had to revise to sleeve....BEST DANG DECISION I EVER MADE. I lost 70lbs total with the band about 5 years ago. Gained 40 of those pounds back bc of complications.(reflux,chest pains,side pains,soreness,etc...)  I had the sleeve done in December 2012 and have lost 60lbs so far and feel ten times better. I wouldnt change my sleeve for anything. LOVE MY SLEEVE!
