  1. I had crazy hair loss! It slowed down after 6 months. This is the first I have heard about the biotin causing hunger, but my doc told me biotin does not prevent hair loss, it only helps the strength of hair growth. I take it because I am desperate for healthy and full hair again! Lol

    Hernia

    I think I might have a hernia-4 months post op. tender to touch but not a lot of other symptoms (no pain unless push on one certain location). Any advice before I call my doc??!

    Hungry !

    I feel we need to listen to our stomach and eat as our tummy tells us not our head. I remember about that same time after surgery I felt hungry and expressed very similar concerns. Afraid of doing things wrong and not wanting to fall back into old habits. I was told by doc/nut that as the swelling in your stomach goes down your body will need more food. If you didn't eat enough calories throughout day day your body is going to tell you!

    Question?

    Every program is different. I told my nut about my attempt to cut carbs and she got mad because she doesn't want the focus to be on cutting anything out of our diets and instead make better and balanced choices. I am a catabolic by nature however one thing I have noticed post surgery (3months) I don't crave and/or want carbs like before and it makes me uncomfortable as you can't eat much anyways. Hope that helps!

    Going out to eat!

    This is a big no from my doc and nut. I was told your stomach needs time to absorb nutrients from food and also it will cause your stomach to stretch. I get sick and uncomfortable if I drink too soon after eating!

    Dehydration warning

    How far post op are you? I don't drink enough at all! It is hard to focus on anything but work throughout the day! Any signs besides dark urine you noticed before getting to the pass out point?! Scary and I wish you a speedy recovery!
