Well My total weight loss as of today is 54 lbs, and this past month has been the slowest weight loss ever....I lost a total of only 5 lbs.....the month before i lost like 17....so im hoping that this stall ends soon, and i start losing again....I went for my 4 month checkup @ Dr. Cs office and they said im right on target. And that i need to get more protein in, so my hairloss will stop, and for the past few days i have been getting alot of protein in, and the hairloss is slowing down, so thats a definate good thing!!  Lately my menstrual cycle has been CRAZy....normally im just a regular 30 days, now its like im bleeding mid cycle....I was getting worried, but Audrey at the Dr.s office said that it is normal which is why they want people on birth control pills....but my tubes are tied, so i have no worries.....Well i hope everyone is doing good out there:)

Hello everyone....well all is well with me....besides the fact that my hair keeps falling out EVERY DAY!!! Every single day when i shower and brush my hair the brush is filled with my hair!!!! Does it ever stop??? I dont wanna be bald!!!!   I  knew that this was a side effect but when does it stop?? Luckily i have very thick hair to begin with......but at the rate im losing it, its getting thin fast!!!  Any advice would be appreciated

DAMNN i was A fat ass....I mean I still am, BUT i look a lot smaller and I feel a lot better!!! Im so proud of myself!!! This surgery is amazing, It is a life changing surgery and its far from easy to adjust to, But im so glad that I did this and thankful that there is such a thing of Gastric bypass surgery.....Best of luck to us all!!!

Well tommorow is my 3 month surgiversary, and im down a total of 47 lbs. I am happy with my weight loss so far, i kinda feel that i should have lost more by this point....but its better than nothing!! I feel so much better than i did 3 months ago. Im gonna take some pictures tommorow and post them  Hope all is well with all my friends and good luck to everyone.....keep up the great work!! And to my neighbor Justine....ive got my fingers crossed for ya girlie....your day is coming!!!

So im thinkin im kind of a slow loser  BUT thats OK!!! Im not complaining because I actually feel GREAT!!  Lately ive been having a few issues.....nothing too bad,  But the other night I woke up to use the bathroom, (i sleep on my stomach) and when i got out of bed, my insides where my surgery was done was really hurting me.....ive never had pain like that since ive had this surgery.....i was so nervous because it felt like something was wrong inside, but then suddenly it went away...COMPLETELY????? Im assuming that maybe it was gas pains.....Ive been fine ever since?? I guess there was no need to call the Dr.......Who knows Other than that, ive been fine....I still cant eat much which is A OK with me!!! Hope everyone is doing great!!!!

So i have not been posting a lot latey, but its SUMMER TIME...and been a lil busy!!! Well things have been going pretty good for me, i have no complaints.....im down about 35 lbs since surgery 2 months ago....im happy with the results so far! I feel great...i can fit a size 14 now, and thats a great feeling!! The only problem ive had recently, is sometimes food gets stuck and i get this horrific pain in my chest and either i make myself throw up or sit in pain for 10 mins......I believe that comes from eating too fast or drinking while im eating...so ive been eating slower and not drinking while im eating! Otherwise im great!!! I wanna say congrats to Libby, on her surgery today!!!! Best of luck to everyone else!!!!

Yay me!! 4 lbs this week!! Im down to 227....i have 1 month and 9 days til my brothers wedding, that i set a goal to lose 50 lbs by then.....so i got like 5 weeks to accomplish this goal!! I hope i can do it!!  Well everything is pretty much still the same with me, i have had NO problems...besides a few dumping episodes.....and sometimes i feel so worn out and tired, but that could be from not taking my vitamins as i should I go see Marc this thursday and ill be cleared for working out and i cant wait!! Well good luck to all on the losing side and on the getting ready for surgery side!!!

hey everyone...im just checkin in Well today Im 4 weeks out from my surgery!! I cant believe how time flys....Well overall im feeling back to normal....No real pain anymore...my stomach still feels a lil strange where the incision is....but im sure its still healing inside!! Ive moved up to a regular diet....and can tolerate most everything.....I cannot eat and drink at the same time, or i will experience PAIN.....so basically i eat first and then drink...(thats whats Dr. C's instructions are...DUH)  This week i managed to lose 2 more pounds...YAY.... I know 2 pounds isnt a entire lot...but its better than nothing at all Ive gotta take a 1 month pic to compare to my before surgery pics....i guess ill do that a lil later!!!  Well i guess ill end this one for now...... Best of luck to EVERYONE with your weight loss and upcoming surgery dates!!!

Hey everyone.....Well im 3 weeks out today, and things are going great...Im a little upset that i only lost 2 pounds but i had my period this week so im sure that has something to do with it!! I have not had any issues with food....everything i have tried to eat has been just fine...except for carrots....they kinda made me feel like i was choking...so im gonna stay away from those for a while  Oh yeah and i did have a dumping episode.....I drank cranberry juice when i was out at a picnic, with out realizing that it had 49g of sugar  Well luckily i only drank half of it, which gave me about 24g of sugar....so needless to say it caused me to use the bathroom......Now i know dumping is bad, and its not something that i wanna experience frequently, BUT when your constipated....it works out well!!    So anyways hopefully this week i can lose a lil more than just a pound or two....Im starting to walk everymorning, so im sure that will help out as well!!!!   I want to say CONGRATS to Jennifer M.....You made it girl!!!! YAYYYYY 

Well hello everyone  Today im 2 weeks post op, and im feeling great!!! I just started stage 3 of the diet, and so far ive tried string cheese, baked boneless chicken breast and mashed potatoes....and all has been well....it felt good to try "REAL FOOD" instead of thick liquids!! The only problem is, im a lil constipated...but i hear that is very common with this process...ive bought some fiber one yogurts by yoplait, and they seem to help...and i also keep milk of magnesia close by  My incision is looking fabulous, im in very little pain... I cant wait to start working out...The Dr. said in another 4 weeks...I think that will help with the weight loss as well!!  I wanna wish Jen the best of luck with her surgery tommorow  Your gonna be just fine, and we're all waiting for you on the losers bench!!!!
