Hi everyone!! I wanted to do an update on my progress... I am 7 months post op and im 120lbs down! I feel AMAZING! I cant say enough how lucky and fortunate I feel to have come across this site. It was the beginning of a new life for me and I will forever be grateful to everyone on here. With that being said.... Everything in my life has changed for the better, not one regret! I have excess skin that doesnt bother me because all the benefits outweigh that. I have lost about 60% of my hair even with 5-10k mcg of Biotin/day and some super expensive shampoo n conditioner lol I get all of my protein n liquids a day and stay within all my calories (most days) I exercise when I get a chance to...Thats the ONLY thing I wish i did more of but even then I am soooo much more active now than ever. All in all, I would say my surgery was a success. I can tolerate everything except eggs. I tried them cooked many different ways throughout these 7 months w/ and w/out the yolk and I still feel sick. I never throw up but just feel sick for about 1 hour. So I dont touch eggs anymore. Other than that I can eat anything. I do not deprive myself from things I want to eat even if I know they have no nutritional value. Just by me tasting something I'm completely satisfied. I do not have to eat the whole thing nor do I care to after I have a little bite. Mind you this isnt an everyday thing either, that can turn ugly quickly. I just simply taste things here and there just so I dont think of it anymore. Oh and another thing I HATE protein shakes, I rarely drink any. I tend to eat my protein and I do just fine.....Ok i'm just rambling now..time for bed. If you took the time to read this, thank you=)

-Ramblings of a happy camper.

    Congratulations on amazing progress, and on feeling so good in yourself. Inspriring stuff! My hair loss slowed right down at about the 7 month mark and I can now see plenty of regrowth at 9 months. I also didn't exercise as much as I had initially hoped but it is definitely continuing to pick up the lighter I get - enjoying moving around more.

    Oh thank you so much for all of your kind words but PLEASE don't be discouraged!! I just checked out your weight before surgery and you were at a weight that I'm trying to get to right now but its not as fast as it use to be to shed the weight. Right after surgery I was averaging about 20lbs a month! now that I have lost so much I'm averaging about 10lbs a month. It's becoming less and less and its completely natural and HEALTHY to lose less when you don't have as much excess weight. You have to celebrate that you have lost 20lbs in 2 months! when was the last time you did that? and KEPT IT OFF?! You gotta celebrate !
