I did the same thing. Every type of supplement under the sun, creams and specials shampoos, was on rogaine for almost 2 years religiously (and only got facial hair to thank for it -_-) Weight loss amplified my alopecia so I ended up shaving it. My brand preference is definitely Jon Renau. Super realistic looking. I've attached a few pictures for reference. Jon Renau Marion (SUPER comfy) Gabor Radiant Beauty (SO much hair but looks cute in an updo) Jon Renau Rachel (My fav!) Jon Renau Allesandra Raquel Welch Upstage (Good if you have a big head, I can't wear it anymore because my noggin shrunk!) Jon Renau Mila (Because everyone ****** needs a platinum one!) I also ordered a cheaper one ($80 vs the JR's that usually run me upwards of $300 when you hit the sales). This one is off Etsy and is definitely a bit wiggier but I LOOOOOVE it. If your out and proud with your wigs like I am, it is so much fun to play around with different styles. I have more than is linked here too. I have various colors of multiple styles. It's an addiction....

Seriously, what do you think?

I have the mirena and absolutely love it! Im on my 3rd one and highly recommend it. No periods and lasts 5 years. Sent from my VS996 using BariatricPal mobile app

I just can't reiterate enough on how glad I am that I decided to have surgery[emoji847]!!! My journey started in June of 2017, that's when I decided to go with the gastric bypass. I had to wait for a whole year before I actually had surgery, due to not being able to keep my weight down🤷🏾‍♀️. I finally had surgery in June 2018 and it has been the best decision I could have made to regain control of my body and my life. I thought it would take close to a year, to get near my goal weight. However, to my amazement i'm only 19 lbs., away from my goal weight now[emoji1495]‍♀️!!! Since my journey began up until now, I have lost 113 lbs.! I have noticed that my metabolism has sped up and I now have to have about 5 small meals through the day. My food digest's really fast now and i'm okay with that. I'm so happy that I can be active and do things that I haven't done in many years. It feels awesome to go shopping and not[emoji1496]‍♀️ have to go in the plus sized(goodbye size 26) section anymore (Hello size 10)[emoji1494]!!! RNYGB: 6/25/2018 HW: 297 LBS. SW: 246 LBS. CW: 184 LBS. GW: 165 LBS.

Hey friends, I'm thinking about my Christmas menu. It'll just be me and a friend this year and I'll be about 2 months post-op. My favorite Christmas food (at least for my family) is corn casserole - you know, the one with whole kernel corn, creamed corn, jiffy, butter, sour cream, and cheese. I know I don't want to eat that right now (or maybe ever - too much fat/butter and I haven't had anything carb-y like jiffy corn bread mix yet), plus I don't want to make a big pan of it just for two people, one of whom (me) can only eat about a tablespoon full. So, does anyone have any ideas on how to make a single serving of something kind of similar, but lighter? I've been searching the internet, but haven't come across anything. I realize this is a long shot, but I thought I'd try. Thanks in advance!

30lb pound in 40 days sounds pretty good to me, thats 30lb in almost six weeks. Take into account, the first week or so when there is the surgery fluid gain, take into account the typical 3rd or 4th week stall, all in all you are doing well. But generally, we know nothing about you, your height, weight, how many calories you are consuming, how much you lost pre-op....etc etc...I still say its pretty good, and your expectations may possibly be too high dependent on your start weight.

Absolutely! It's what I did when I kept my hair up in a ballerina bun for running around

Hi! Happy to be posting here and connected to the group of 18+ months post-op. I hope to learn and continue to improve my health and fitness with discipline, smart choices and living the best life possible.

Try Poweraid zero. Most of the time it's related to electrolytes. Low blood pressure would be the other thing.

The endo just told me I'm on the low end of vitamins A, D, zinc, and iron. So I have to follow up to find out what I'm supposed to take. I do not think loading on Biotin helps? @GreenTealael swears by L-Lysine (an amino acid).
