Hair is seriously shedding!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey Chilo, what Protein shake are you taking...I have been thinking about using them as a snack to see if they help my weight loss... I occasionally have a Protein Bar for brekkie but I am reluctant to buy the powder in case I don't like it cos it is really expensive!

Tiff, I can see the difference you mentioned with your hair, but to be honest, the dramatic weight loss overshadows it completely... I showed my husband the pics and he didn't even notice that your hair was fine, just said 'Bloody hell, where did she go?'

So I guess the moral of the story is that, those who know you/us will be drawn to the weight loss not the Hair loss and those who don't know us will just think we have fine hair... everyones a winner...

Hey Coops! I use either build up from nestle or complan (boots) they are cheapish and cost around 4 or 5 pounds i think, and come in a box of 5 sachets. I like the chocolate and vanilla, what I do is I make like a milkshake, blend with coffee, skimmed milk, and I bought a sugar free hazelnut Syrup from starbucks and 1/2 or a whole sachet of the Protein Powder. I bought a strawberry one sculptress which came in a huge container, was expensice (about £17 1/2 price at the time) but i hate it!!

Nice one... I noticed your ticker had gone down again... how did it go? What did he say? I bet he was chuffed with your progress.

I'm still in limbo... lost a pound last week, will offically weigh in the morning but I think it is aound this week too...*boo hoo* So since the pnuemonia I have managed to get rid of 6-7lb... I know I haven't done as much exercise but I have been doing some and I am a little disheartened... but I ain't beating myself up like I did a couple of weeks ago!! It has been hard work to be honest, but without the sleeve I would have put a lot of weight on... so that is a bonus!! =]

Hmm I'm a bit scared about the Hair loss. I have fine, thin hair as it is. I don't think I'd look good with no hair. I guess I'll cross that bridge when it gets there and hope for the best.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
