Amy,

I think we all lose at different paces. It sounds like we're fairly close in

our losing and I've been told I'm doing great and to stop worrying...lol. I

started at 290 at surgery and I'm down to 245. Surgery was on April 23rd.

I'm sure you've lost a lot of inches in there too, I know I have. I was wearing

a 30/32 and today I put on a jeans blouse that is a 22/24 and danced around

the room....lol. Your doing great and keep up the good work.

I am 9 months post op and have lost 101.5 pound, which averages out to

alittle over 11 pounds a month. But I would rather lose it slow than fast. I

think that is probably why I have not lost any hair. A friend of mine that had

surgery the same day has lost 136 and she has had allot of hair loss. I know

everyone is different.

, I too am a slow loser, but it does comes. You lose less

muscle mass this way. I get sick on plain water too. Propel and SF

Koolaid help me tons. Janet

> Laurette, I hope you're right. I had my surgery three weeks ago,

and I've only lost about 25 pounds. Reading all the emails on the

site is starting to depress me and make me wonder what I'm doing

wrong. I'm having a problem getting the water down, but I'm working

on it. Keep up the good work!

what about our skin.......if we loose at a slower rate will taht help our skin

from being so saggy...or is that going to happen anyways ?

[Guest guest]

From what I've heard that has nothing to do with the skin. It either

happens or doesn't. Some even say that exercise doesn't help it all

that much, but I'm hoping they're wrong about that .
