Topic: RE: Not losing as much as everyone else :-(
I sometimes feel that way myself I understand. But than I look at the reality of how much I have really lost and realize that maybe my body just wants some adjustment time. I started at 352lbs day of surgery I was 297 and I am now 240lbs so I have lost 55lbs 1 less than you. And I had alot more to lose. Granted I have lost a total of 112lbs but I had quite a bit more than you to lose. You will be just fine I think everybody's body is different and it just takes some time for reality to set in. I know for me in the last month I have only lost about 10lbs but I have dropped 2 sizes in that 10lbs so I may not have lost lbs but I sure did lose inches! You are doing just fine from what I can see don't worry !! Kristi

Topic: RE: How is everyone doing with there weight targets
My goal weight is truly just to be under 200lbs. I would love to be in the 180's since I don't really remember that!! I started at 352lbs BMI of 56.9 and I am now(at almost 4 months out) I am at 240lbs and a BMI of 38.7 so I have dropped 18.2 BMI points. If I was at 180 I would have a BMI of 29 which to me would be amazing!! I would still be considered overweight but considering where I started from I would be thrilled with it. I guess from where I started loosing 112lbs is a great deal(55 pre op and 57 post op) So I am thrilled with the loss so far and can't imagine that I will be loseing more yet!
Topic: RE: Hair Loss
I already have fairly thin hair, fine and really light colored! So in the front it already looks thing where I part it. And now that I have lost some it actually doesn't look worse there~but the rest of it is getting bad. I need to do something with my hair to give it some body. It is stick straight and long~ so something must be done!! I know everytime I pull hair out of my comb/brush I worry that I am going to be bald. I just hope it gets better soon!! Kristi

Surgery: 201lbs
Surgery date: 08/07/07
Current weight: 155lbs
Total Loss: 46lbs
This week: 1.5lbs
I'm a slow loser, but I'm also a lightweight. So instead of looking at it as pounds lost, I use the percentage of excess weight lost. I have lost 60% of my excess weight!!
Topic: RE: Do you have a weight loss pattern?
I seem to drop a few right before my period which is bass-akwards from how I was post-op.

Topic: RE: Hair Loss
I Have been losing hair since right before Thanksgiving. Not handfuls, but enough to freak me out! Everytime I wash my hair, strands are left in my hands. I'm worried that Im not getting enough protein, trying to be more careful. This time of year sucks with all the sweets availalbe, I'm having a hard time resisting.
