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.

LOL!!! Yeah my hubby is getting the tummy too! His family is all pretty darned skinny also. Maybe there is something to your theory Lisa. :) Teresa

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

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
