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…

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…

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.

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 was allowed eggs and egg drop soup at three weeks, so you should be ok.
