Fabulous February Post-Op's

[Cecilia 201]

How are you all doing with Hair loss? Has anyone not lost hair at all? I've been losing a handful every time I shower, and then I shed profusely throughout the day. My hair is so fine I asked my kids to touch my head and they freaked out. My former dime-size pony-tail is now like the width of a pencil, and all my barrettes fall out.

I'm ready for it to slow down any time now, but the hair loss is still going strong. How are the rest of you doing?

speaking for only myself I have lost minimal hair loss I take Biotin 5000mcg, prenatal Vitamins, B12 and use pureology shampoo/ conditioner hair is short and wash only every two days (not oily) air dry most of the time as to not have fallout or breakage. ..

So, if anyone reads Alex's Big Book On Gastric Bypass, there's a LONG story at the end on Chapter 16 about Christie From Arkansas...that'd be me!!! I cannot tell you, after hiding my weight and weight struggles from the universe my entire life, how bizarre it is to have it all out in print for the universe to see. Feeling somewhat naked right now :/. I thought they'd just take excerpts from my responses but they pretty much published everything I said! I do tend to ramble

I'm there with you. I had a lot hair before but I see the loss. I hate the showering because of it &brushing my hair is scary. I too take the Biotin and B12. I sacred using Wen producs and that is helping with the dry breakage. I used to have such grat hair before. :-( i've been off the board for a while but I'm back now. Glad to read very one is doing great

6 months out tomorrow. My surgery was on Valentines Day. I'm down 110 pounds, only lost 10 pounds in the last month and a half. I'm at a real stall. I try not to panic because it seems pretty normal to stall pretty hard right about now. I'm amazed at my ability to move with such ease after shedding so much weight. I actual lit have fun exercising, it doesn't hurt to do healthy things. On the day I had surgery I weighed in at 356, today I am 246. I have a ways to go and still hard work ahead but I'm getting it done!!! It's been bumpy along the way, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I also have a cute hair-do. So much of my hair fell out. I had to do something.

I try to eat as much veggies as I can. I eat nutrient dense foods. Not so much meat. I eat salmon mostly. I've even tried some raw foods recipes.< /p>

My hair fall out seems to have slowed down considerable. Thank goodness. At my 6 month checkup I am at 46% loss of excess weight! Just need to get back to excercising. It is nice to read everyones' success stories. I have stalled for the past few weeks but know that will change.

Wow! Congrats! Presurgery I had so much fear about telling people. I didn't know how they would feel or how I would feel about sharing this. Now it seems like the farther along I am the easier it is to say "I had the surgery." Hold your chin up high and know that you are a role model to so many others!
