Well the weight loss has slowed down a bit butthat is to be expected. I still don't weigh regularly
because that is just the way I am. I just go by my clothes
size and now I'm comfortably in most 16's and 1x. That is
pretty good just over 4 months out. Even my size 16 jeans are getting loose now
and that is down from 24-26.
I am able to eat more
now but still no where near what I could Pre-Op which is
great. I have found that the chewable Multi vitamins from
Bariatric Advantage are the best for me. (like eating candy).
Seriously , I love those things. And I figure it is a waste to buy
something You can't even force yourself to take. So i will stick with this.
Hair loss is a different issue. It was coming out in handfuls
and that started at about 3 months out. Good thing I have a head full of thick hair
Or I may be bald by now...... LOL But now the shedding has really
slowed down so not worried too much about that. I do focus on getting in as much protein as possible
but I don't always make good on that , I won't even lie.......... LOL
Loose skin............... Wow let me tell you............. It is something you
have to be prepared for. The only thing I can say is do the best you
can with weight training and then select good supporting undergarments and/or
start preparing for plastics ............. LOL. I mean really for some of
us it is going to be unavoidable to some extent........
My arms are what I
hat the most especially the left arm. The right arm is actually not that
bad but the left seems to be a bigger and has more pronounced 'rippling'
if ya know what I mean... But I don't count that as a negative , I knew about
this possibility going into this, so I say suck it up and keep moving....
Such is life right???????
God Bless
And take care
