Yes that's true - it seems to come out the worse when I wash it - everyday combing/brushing is normal - never wore it all the way natural braided out or anything but sounds like a good idea for now - thanks...

Hello ladies, Im back!! I did gain 2 pounds over Thanksgiving! I had a bit of everything throughout the day. Of course my family stayed with us my entire 4 days so we were on a feeding frenzy. I did stay away from the pie but HAD to have the yams. I am back on track as of today.

@NGMA- I hope you get better! That really stinks that you were sick! Maybe a blessing in disguise??

@Ready- Good to hear from you again! I was told there is nothing at all we can do about the Hair loss. I was advised that the Protein is the most important. I know it will be my turn soon and I am so vain about my hair.

@MDM- You were sick too?? Jeez you have a few weeks to heal before Christmas!

@MOMOFTHING- I burp ALOT too but I toot way less now so I will take it! LOL

Hey, thanks - been so busy but yes I'm trying to get as much protein in as I can & I'm taking biotin... My prayer is that it just slows down - it seems to have only shed a lot when I washed & combed my hair out & you not the only one who had a thing for their hair - lol... I just don't wanna lose it to much...

Have you tried using the shampoos/conditioners for thinning hair? I've been using that along with taking Biotin and I haven't noticed a lot of Hair loss yet.

      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.
