I'very been hearing about hair lost, has anyone experienced this after surgery?

I lose hair every day. But so far its just been typical normal Hair loss. Some people say they lose clumps and get noticeably thinner. I've not had this issue. I'm 4 months out. I will say that since my hair is curly, if I let it go curly I lose more than if it flat Iron it to within an inch of its life. I think because when it is curly the hairs clump together as opposed to just falling out when straight.

This week I am pretty happy with my results. I think I need to focus on getting all of my workouts in and stop eating the sugar free treats. I have been dealing with some emotional baggage this week and I noticed or am noticing I am resulting back to my old habits but now in the form of sugar free treats.

So, it is Wednesday and my body is playing again. it knows how badly I want to see under 200lbs but yet its chilling again. it was moving along all weekend and now it has decided to relax and go on vacation. I hope this weekend is like last weekend and I see something big on the scale - like a 4lb drop!

Following through and trying to reach the end of this challenge with hopes of obtaining one of my goals - either the 100 miles or being at 200lbs! I much prefer to be at 200lbs. I don't know if I am going to make it to 200lbs by 10/1/14.

Their is no camera at the bottom of the page

For me when I am typing a message I touch the + sign which opens the full screen message box and then the 3 squares at the top right of the screen which opens a menu and attach picture is an option there. For my profile pic there is a camera icon to change that.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
