Congrats! on your work and progress! Hope your doing well by now.

Good Morning Donna,
HaPPy 7th Month Anniversary! I hope you are doing well on your WTL journey! This was a slow month for me, I only lost 2 pounds. I feel great and I love the fact I can try on clothes on the rack and they fit! But with no job, my wardrobe is very limited. Since I don't have a job, I don't want to invest one way or another (casual jeans, or dresses and skirts). I found some Levi jeans at Walmart that fit and I bought a skirt and dress on sale yesterday at JCP for $8.00 each!! I have an one-on-one interview with the unemployment office tomorrow so I thought I shouldn't wear jeans. Take care and keep in touch and good luck!!! Hugs, Nancy I see you like sewing and crafts...later I will post you a picture of the pumpkins I made.

Hi Donna,
Glad to hear you are doing well. And that you are down 71 pounds...WTH!!! I am okay...a little down thought because on Monday, my position of 28 years was eliminated. I am still in shock. I haven't felt like eating or drinking. Today, was the first time that I was able to eat and drink. My hair is still falling out by the handfuls every morning...and I have tried everything. I think I told you before that we are told not to count protein, calories, etc. the only thing we are to count is our 8 glasses of water. But I have added a protein drink and bar back to my diet to ensure that I am getting enough in hopes that my hair loss stops soon!!! Take care and good luck as you continue on your WL journey. Hugs, Nancy

Hi Donna,
WOW, you are doing fantastic on your journey!! I had my 3 month check up on Thursday. They are not at all concerned about my hair loss which I am totally freaking out about. I asked about increasing my vitamins or taking protein shakes to increase my daily protein intake. The answer is no...I am doing fine. We are not allowed to drink protein drinks after 2 weeks and we do not count protein. The only thing we count is our 8 glasses of water daily. So I guess I will be a skinny bald old lady. I have been burping a lot and not being able to smell anything since surgery. Both my neurosurgeon and bariatric nurse think it may be post nasal drip. I started taking Claridon today. Please let me know how you are coming along. Good luck on your WL journey!! Hugs, Nancy
