nniang are you taking biotin? I started taking it and a lot of other vitamins a year before my surgery and continue to take them every day. Some have lost hair but it did grow back. I didn't lose any hair and I am 61 years old. Take the biotin on a regular basis it might help.

My surgery was in Jan of 2016. I had lost 180 pounds before surgery. At the 6 week mark I was getting in about 500 to 600 calories. Protein and water are the top two things you should be getting in at this stage. Do you carry a water bottle with you every where you go? I do and I drink from it through out the day. Getting…

I am in West Palm Beach!

On Jan 26, 2016 I had a 3 procedure surgery, my gallbladder was removed, had a hernia repair (which has come back) and the sleeve. Recovery was pretty easy for me. The only difficulty I had was the gas settled in my right shoulder and it took about a month to leave me. I am not able to walk without the use of a cane or…

Hi Relentless can't answer your question as I haven't been tracking my calories for the last 6 months. However over the past month I gained 10 pounds back myself and today also updated my weight gain for accountability. I had been eating more chocolate and sweets but have stayed clear of pastas. My Dr said to stay away…

It is nice to see some new faces in this group. I had my sleeve surgery Jan 26, 2016. My highest weight was 497, surgery weight 315, and today I weighed in at 218. I see the surgeon on Jan 30th for my 1 year follow up. I have a feeling this is the first time he will not be happy with my 3 month weight loss. At the end Oct…

Ok am going to ask the obvious. Have you by any chance become pregnant?

I am only 6 months out and this past month I only lost 4 pounds so I would say I have slowed down. I am extremely unhappy with only 4 pounds lost this month. Since my surgery I have lost 70 pounds. I still have another 80 to lose and am hoping some how the weight loss will pick up again as the 10 to 14 pounds a month was…

I'm in West Palm Beach Fl 5'6" 60 years old HW 497 in 2004 SW 315 Sleeved Jan 26th 2016 CW 245 GW 155 I have been disabled since 1994 and use an electric mobility device.

You look fantastic! Congratulations on losing so much weight in a year. I bet a lot more than your weight has changed.

Hi everyone I had my surgeries Jan 26th 2016. I had a hernia repaired, gallbladder removed and the sleeve.I have my 6th month followup coming up on July 25th. It is nice to see some new people on the site.

Where in Florida are you located? I am in South East Florida, West Palm Beach. Sorry to hear your bike is in such condition, hopefully you can get this one repaired and it will last awhile longer

I think it is great that you bike with your children. In catching up on my reading of posts I read your daughter had a rough ride the other day and had to be rescued. I have had to be rescued three times since I started riding too. Not fun when that happens. It is hard for me to believe I go as slow as your 7 year old and…

Good for you! I too since Feb have been training for a Bike challenge but not doing as well as you are. How you and the others ride so long is beyond me and very impressive. Some day I hope to be able to do just 14 miles.

I would gladly take the spring-autumn-autumn-winter cycle. This heat is really doing a number on me. I can't get on any spin bikes in the gym due to my disability so not getting on my trike is doing a number on my body too. I feel it declining. I may just have to sweat it out for the rest of the month as I know I need to…

I have been so bad this month as it is just too darn hot down here to even get on the bike. Only went 3 times so far this month. Am so embarrassed I am not even going to list my miles. I still plan to do the Loop around the Lake for Literacy https://www.youcaring.com/literacy-coalition-of-palm-beach-county-517500 but…

Wow What a wonderful transformation.!I love the same clothing pictures as you can really see how the clothing has changed as you have gone down. You have some beautiful ink work as well. I love the chest piece. Just curious how tall are you and how much more do you plan to lose? Keep up the great work.

@allybenavides @angiemollison308 @amandacanales @NicoleL874 @kristinj98 @krissymae88 WOW times 6! Everyone of you look fantastic, have very high weight losses and look very happy. I hope to be able to add my pictures to this thread soon. I am waiting until June 15th as that will be 1 year since I first saw the surgeon when…

I had a hiatal hernia repair along with my diseased gallbladder taken out when I had the sleeve 16 weeks ago. I am having stomach pains when I eat and when I feel my tummy I still feel the same bump as I did before the surgeries. I haven't had any testing to see if it has returned. I had no idea they could return. I do…

Thanks chubby checkers There was no physical way I could have increased my calories up to 1100-1300 so no need to worry. Over the past 3 weeks I was able to go from 600 to 800 calories and I did lose 14 more pounds. I have come to believe that I am like your husband. Lost 12 to 14 over 2 to 3 weeks and then stay at that…

I am 13 weeks post op and just today I did the math of calories in and burned over the past 2 weeks. I ride a bike about 4 to 7 miles 4 to 6 days a weeks. For the last 2 weeks I took in an average of 610 calories a day and exercised an average of 796 calories. I have been in a 2 week stall. This is my 3rd stall in 13…
