Sorry to post at such a late date. I am now a size 6!!! I started at 216, weighed 144 at my October 19th visit, and have lost a grand total of 72 pounds since surgery. I am 23 pounds from my surgeon's goal for me. Way to go Junebugs! hannah

Sorry I dont post much but I do read a lot..Between work and chasing a 2 year old and his activities life is crazy. Anyhow: Lap-RNY June 1 2004.. Starting weight....333.4 Current weight.....244.2 Total loss......89.2 I have lost so much hair and my hair was thin to begin with....I am also taking biotin. My sister is a year out so I have her as my support system. I go to the gym at least 4 days a week before I go to work....So I am getting up at 5:15 to be there by 5:30. By 4 in the afternoon I am wiped out. I am also having trouble getting my protein in I can not stand the taste of protein shakes...any suggestions. Have a great evening... Jeanne

Someone on the MN board told me that our body only can absorb 30 grams at a time.....guess I better rethink my lunch time. Just thought that I would share so you all didn't do the same mistake as me and try to get most of your portein in during one meal. LeAnn

My goal was for 175lbs today I'm at 188lbs lets see if I get there or aleast down to 180lbs !!!

I use Omega 3 fish oil capsules and it has really slowed down my hair loss. Donna
