Hair Loss - it's official



Recommended Posts

Teresa, good theory. Nobody ever listened to me when I told them I could never have long hair because I'm so tall. Now think about that... If I were closer to the ground, my hair would be closer to the ground, and thereby longer.

I also believe the world can only weigh a certain amount or it will spin off its axis. Therefore, while we are losing weight, somebody has to be gaining it. What's interesting about this theory is that I think the fat has to stay within your own family or circle of friends. Chris is actually getting fat. Nobody in his entire family lineage has ever been fat. He only has one brother, Kelly, who wears sweat pants under his jeans all year round to pad them because he can't find Levi's cuz he's too skinny. So as I lose, Chris gains... and one of my co-workers is getting a little chunky.

Just remember that I'm the one who said it first, cuz when someone wins some big Nobel Prize or whatever that fancy prize is that smarties like me get, the thing better have my name on it!

I havent actually tried this... ( I am actually sooo slow, I have been blaming my Hair loss on the hair colouring I used a few months ago.....) anyway, some of my friends swear that herbalife shakes completely stopped their hair loss when they were breast feeding. I, personally, cant stand the taste ( even the 'new and improved one -yuck) since my mom made me go on the herbalife program every few months when I was young ( didn't work of course :)

so i guess basically its about nutrition.....

cheers

tellie

ps, teresa, I like that theory!

Thanks, Tellie. I'm taking special hair Vitamins along with my other Vitamins that are supposed to be the best on the market, so I'm sure they have most of the same junk as Herbalife, which is also on my list of failed diets that I've tried in the past.

How is everyone today? I'm wiped out. I think something's wrong with me like anemia or lack of life? After waking up, it takes over an hour to get out of bed. I'm dragging. I'm taking Iron and tons of vitamins but I'm lifeless. Could this be thyroid medication that I started taking a couple months ago? Could I be catching up with 30 years of severe insomnia? Or is this really just OWD like my husband says? Olt Woman Disorder.

I think it's "two-job-syndrome".

Girl, give yourself a break!!

Could it be your age? LOL!!! I think it is anemia, lack of some kind of nutrition in your system, not enough Protein maybe. Guessing here? Check with your Doc on the Thyroid meds. You could just have the "dropsy."

LOL

You know what, now that I think about it, my legs are hairier....

I used to have REAL thick hair, my pony tail was ridiculous... So I like my hair now, it is much easier to do. BUT.... It has thinned a lot and really hasn't come back. My daughter has hair just like me, and hers has not thinned. So I don't know the answer. I just want to talk....lol.... Honestly, It is coming back, just not as thick as it was... :)

I thought we already established that I have Dropsy since I drop things all the time. Donali, shut up. Yes, my feet are throbbing and I'm wondering what the heck I'm doing working so hard for so little, but you're gonna be damn jealous when you see my foxy new top and 3 pairs of earrings from this evening's purchase!

Love, Fat Tired Bald Girl

Especially financial stress... LOL. It seems like you are spending more than you are earning Miss Lisa. Maybe you should drop the second job, you would be richer. :D Teresa

      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.
