So close the 100 pounds mark! Ugh! It seems like it's been very hard to get there. Only lost .6 last week so I'm pleased with the 2.2 this week. Oh well, maybe I'll hit the first goal next week.

I have a question for you on the hair loss...are you finding it coming out in certain instances, or can you just put your hand in your hair and pull it out? I've been concerned about the potential for Hair loss, but I am not sure if it is something you see in your brush, or if you can just pull it out with your hand.

I hope you don't mind me weighing in on this but it has been one of my big concerns, too. I have very fine hair as it is so any loss is alarming to me.

I started losing hair right at the 3 month mark, like everyone said would happen. I don't have it coming out in my hand but my brush is full every day. I've already shortened the length of my "bob" and hope that will do.

I am taking Biotin twice a day and get at least 50 gm Protein each day but trying to get in 60+. Am able to on some days but not all.

Six weeks after the VSG surgery, I had another major surgery, total hip replacement. So, I probably have a double whammy with the effects from anesthesia--- my experience might be more pronounced than others'.

My hairdresser has me using a 3 part regime from Aveda called Invati. I hope it's going to help out. All in all, it's really not as bad as I was expecting but I think I've still got 1-2 months to go.

[RunningA5K 645]

I appreciate all input. I, too have very fine hair, and I wear it very short (pixie cut), so I have been pretty nervous about it. I take 5000 mcg of Biotin a day, and make sure to maintain my Protein levels, and thankfully I haven't seen any come out...keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way
