Hi Andredia! Tina Rubio posted that she has been using Nioxin and it was helpful to maintain her hair. Don't be discourage. Everyone loses at different rates. The most important thing is that you ARE losing. Keep up the good work! Best wishes!

Andredia: I just read your post. I'm still pre-op, so I can't say I know how you feel. I do know that nothing is easy and with God's help ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. I have a feeling you know that too. 21 minutes per mile ain't bad at all. Don't be so hard on yourself. We're only human. Keep praying and stay focused. You are a success. Look how far you've come!!! GOD BLESS!

Hi AMOS FAMILY Just a quick update and a confession. I have been so depressed because of my pain and lack of weight loss. I feel like the only thing I'm doing right is walking. I just got back home from a 1 mile walk that took me 21 minutes. That seems to be about the average amount of time for me. I'm terrified to go near a scale for fear of being a complete failure at weight loss. I'm starting my 21st week since surgery I should have lost 75 pounds by now, but going by my last weigh in I have only lost 54 (sigh), needless to say I have some cathcing up to do. Yesterday I was so down that I ate about 2 cups of carmel/cheese popcorn at one sitting. To make matters worse instead of following doctors orders and eating 2 ounces of protein 3 times a day. I only ate protein once and it was for dinner. I ate 1/4 cup lettuce, 2 ounces of grilled chicken breast and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese topped with 1 tbsp of fat free zesty italian dressing. Yes, my emotions took over. I have always been an emotional eater and yesterday was really a bad day for me. I did drink 48 ounces of water though. Lord knows I don't want to fail at this. As I was walking I prayed that the Lord would give me strength to over come this. So today is a new day. I did my walk and I am right at this moment forcing myself to drink a protein shake. Ughhh..I combined frozen strawberries, banana, o.j., ice and protein powder. making myself do this 3 times a day starting today for 5 days. I'll go to my PCP'S office on Friday and get weighed. Wish me luck everyone. I will continue to walk as long as the weather permits. But wait more drama...I'M GOING BALD!!!!MY hair is coming out so bad especially in the front. Nothing worse than a fat bald chic lol. Oh and I still haven't got my results from the cck hida scan test I took last week, so I'm waiting patiently for those results also. Enough about me, I'll update when I know more. God Bless EVERYONE!!!

Andredia, let GOD be your guide. GOD is the only one who can help. I am 3-weeks post-op and realize this surgery will not work without GOD. I have been doing just as was instructed. You have to remember if you don't follow the Dr's orders then problems will occur. You just keeping praying and GOD will bring you out. I will be praying for you.

Hi Andredia, I just want you to know I'm praying for you and your doctors to discovery what the problem is. I was at a stand still for weeks. I changed my eating to only high protein meats. wt started falling off again. but believe me. I have no idea what I'm doing. and it do get depressing. One month I loss only 2 lbs. I also felt the dr thought I wasn't following the rules and was pigging out. How the heck can you pig out when foods won't even stay down. anyhow I did some changes again, little exercising, and I mean a little. lol It was very hard to do if you never did it before. It has gotten better. I go walking 7am every morning. no limit. only what I feel I can do. I also drink my 64 oz water each day. Oh well girlie, I hope you get the problem fixed so you can start to enjoy your wl journey. try to hang in there. stay in touch.... Hugs

Hello friends, needing a pep talk, prayers and whatever else that may do me some good. My visit with my surgeon was not a happy one, but I stayed strong and did not break down and cry. The pain I'm having is constant now, lower stomach, right side and back pain. I was prescribed Levsin/SL for bowel spasms..hope it works, but he also wanted me to have tests for my gallbladder, even though he stated I haven't lost quite enough weight for that to be flaring up. Guess what I can't get the test done for another week the hospitals are booked up(tears falling down my face). I haven't lost a pound since I was there 2 weeks ago. His orders were to measure out 2 oz of protein 3 times a day and that is all I am supposed to eat. Shakes would be okay, but I can't find one I can tolerate. I can't have anything to drink 1 hr. before or after eating. I'm a sensitive person and that just broke my heart, not the eating part, but it made me feel as if he thought I was just sitting around pigging out all day. It hurts too bad to eat, so I don't pig out on anything. I know this is probably why I haven't lost any weight. I have an appointment scheduled with my PCP on Thursday to get his input on this situation, hopefully its something good. Today is one of those days I REGRET HAVING THIS SURGERY, at least when I was fatter I wasn't in so much pain. Tomorrow's another day and I am sure/well hope things improve and I will be thanking the Lord for Blessing me with this surgery. Please if anyone has any encouragement email me or post to my profile. Thanks in advance for prayers and advice. GOD BLESS.
