Thanks Rob! You are, as always, such an inspiration! :) Congratulations!!

OCTOBER GOALS 1. Get back to working with my trainer at the gym 3 times per week 2. Increase Protein 3. Reduce carbs 4. WALK WALK WALK....

I am 7 1/2 months out and my hair is thinning as we speak... lol. I started out with fine thin hair and even though I started taking Biotin prior to my surgery and am getting my protein I have lost a significant amount of hair in the last 2-3 months. I had my hair cut shorter than its been in 25 years!! Took a little…

Yay! It is truly an awesome accomplishment!! :)

Jill you are not alone! At 7 months out I have been letting carbs get out of control. Life has been legitimately busy and full of stresses these last couple of months, but I have let myself use that as an excuse to stop going to the gym and getting my walks in. The results have been bouncing the same 2-3 pounds around for…

You are awesome! I am now 7 months out and totally understand the struggle with being able to eat more in volume and variety! I definitely think it is harder now to make good food choices than during the first 5 months. When your body limits your choices its so much easier than when YOU have to be responsible! I have…

Awesome! Its truly about getting your head in the game. I struggle with this too! Trying to push through a plateau that's messing with my motivation right now. Hang in there! We can do this!

God Bless you Paul. Praying for you. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

This is an awesome thread! I have marked off a few already! Zip Lining, Skydiving, and feeling confident enough to join a gym! I add to that Para-sailing, hot air balloon ride, walking a marathon ( doc wont let me run..bad knees) and hiking to the top of Avalanche Mt Preserve, a local hiking path with 462 stair steps…

You are looking fabulous!! Congratulations!

Congratulations! You look amazing!

I love you guys... Nothing more... Just had to say it.

Thanks guys! Can't tell you how much I appreciate all of you! :D

This is exactly what my Doc and my trainer at the gym said! My Doc encouraged me to start slowly with light weights after 4-6 weeks. The more muscle you build the better the actual fat loss.

I had my sleeve in Feb also. Just started noticing hair loss in the last month. I have been taking Biotin since before my surgery but I do struggle with the protein. @brookelayne Thanks for the tips! I think I will try the protein in my coffee...

GET BACK TO THE GYM!! - I've used up my quota of excuses...

Your definitely not alone!! I really notice it in the bath tub!

I was told I could donate blood 2 months after my surgery. I haven't asked about Bone Marrow but Im glad you mentioned it as I am on the donor list!
