Hey how is everyone doing out there?

I am!

Welcome to the group! I like baked fish, and chicken. Im a creature of habit so I can eat the same foods over and over and not sick of it. As to the hair loss, I lost alot of my hair and my beautician used Nioxin for a couple of years to get it back. On the other hand my mother had surgery a year after me and lost over 100…

Thanks for bringing this up.

Welcome Jamie! You can do it. I have 48 pounds to my goal of 150.

I had Gastric Bypass 7 years ago and it gave me my life back! I was 305 and lost a total of 160 pounds in the first year and a half. Make sure the hospital is a Center of Excellence.

You look great!

Thats sad about your brother. I have to say it saved my life and we all must keep in mind who performed the surgery? Were they a Center of Excelence? Did the person who died have major co-morbidities? There are many things that contribut to death after Bariatric surgery.

I would love to talk to her. She can contact me at triumphantlife@comf5.com. In the meantime, let her know that she is not going to get her first fill until about 6 weeks so dont worry that she may be hungry and not losing right now. It will come. I work for a Bariatric surgeon and I had Bypass 7 years ago and lost 160 lbs.

Im in. My weight is 191 for week one. My email is triumphantlife@comf5.com

You are looking great. Keep kicking butt!!!

Great advice. I second this.

You look amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

Was wondering the same thing...thanks!

You ROCK! and you have plenty friends here to tell you how awesome you are!!! Keep up the good work.

I can relate. I would love to get an answer on this too. I roller skate every Sunday and my feet hurt in my skates too.

I do 75% prtein like fish, baked chicken...I stay away from the fatty proteins like BACON! I feel realy good. The other 25% I do complex cards and little fruit. I try not to consume more than 75 carbs a day.

I use to weigh 305 and I have 57 to go. I know what you mean. When I was 305 lbs I felt like 180 would be awesome, what were they complaining about. I've tasted of the promise land at 138 so now I know what they mean because I feel like a house in a size 12 when I was a size 5. Just stay connected and focused. I know that…

I am dying to see your pics. I hate back fat!!!! Can you email to me at terrinave@yahoo.com? I could use some inspration in this area, on my last 57 pounds to lose.

I see the pics...you look great!

Im on CD 1 my first week. How many calories do u think you burn? I just put in 350...seems like it would be more.I need a watch.

That's cute!!

It gave me my life back!!!

Yes I work for a surgeon that performs that surgery and it is in between the bypass and lapband as far as outcomes.

You look adorable!
