Hi! What gym is it at and is it expensive? I'm looking for something affordable. I'm a single mom with 2 kids so always on a budget!? Want to fit in workout time right after work.
Hello everyone. I had my first follow up after surgery on June 20th. My vitamin D is still low but has improved since last blood work. Nurse told me they expected 26% of weight loss at that point and I had lost 46% which I found amazing coming from them as I myself felt I could have lost more.
So now, I've been stuck. I' ve lost 2 lbs since then and I'm so frustrated. My hair is falling off like crazy I'm afraid I wi be bald soon! I did tell the nurse and she told me to take zinc for 2 months and it might help. She told me biotin will do nothing.
How long have you all been at at stall? How long did it last for you? I want that scale to start moving again! On a positive note I haven't gained.
I'd appreciate any tips or anything that can help get over this stall. Thank you in advance.?
Good afternoon :)
Sorry I was MIA last week -- we didn't have any internet service. We were supposed to be changing service providers but the new company couldn't get us connected and had bad customer service.
Today I was out early to go to a new doctor to see if we can sort out a few things. She wants me to increase my iron supplements in the mean time. I'm going to have to do some research on the tests she has ordered.
QOTD: I have always preferred the elliptical trainer and after losing weight I went with my aunt to a couple Zumba classes.
Post-op four years and four months.

Happy new week everyone.
The weekend turned out nicer weather wise than expected, so I was outside for most of it just doing odds and ends in the yard. My friend and I enjoyed an evening out and the rest of the weekend was spent with my kids.
QOTD: What is your favorite type of exercise now and what would you like to try that you never have? I'd say I really enjoy my walks at this point but my HIGH target is to eventually try some boxing(not against anyone,,, just a punching bag).
B - greek yogurt
S - didn't have one
L - peel & eat shrimp and sauce, low fat SF bran muffin
S - boiled egg
D - likely a protein shake since I have a meeting at the gym about that time
S - turkey pepperettes
My surgery is mid-September and I'm concentrating on preparation over the summer, including trying out new to me recipes. No shortage of titles, and some specific to the type of surgery. Are they a valuable resource? Does anyone have a recommendation for any of the WLS cookbooks?
Thanks
Such a great gift to yourself. I'm so proud of you. When I get back to my regular routine after I heal, we will have to have a Menu gang gym/exercise challenge.

Welcome!
I would give Dr. Glazer's office a call and see if they received your file from Humber. Dr. Glazer's office will usually call you once they have your file.
It's Friday again... yippee!
I met with the fitness adviser at a local gym last night and told her my story and that I was looking to kick up the weight loss before my 1 yr surgery date so that I might be able to avoid a 2nd surgery which would be RNY. She was amazing and went over everything in detail so on Monday I will be having a 3D body scan (OMG dreading this) and I will be starting with a trainer 3x a week for at least a month since I've never had a gym membership. I can still go as much as I like plus this membership includes unlimited hydro massage ;) I'll need it!
B - greek yogurt
S - boiled egg
L - broasted chicken wings (a treat through work but I won't overdo it)

D - shrimp on bbq with grilled veggies

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Can't answer about Humber timelines, just wanted to say welcome.
