Well pooh I have seen some come out and I am 4 months out. But several years ago I had a metabolic change and my hair grew thin . So if I started losing a lot now I would definitely be bald.

Hi, I haven't posted in awhile. I'm losing hair now too!! It's thinning on the sides and it seems really dry too! Driving me crazy!! How long does this last ?

Idk...but I went outand bought Nioxin Shampoo and conditioner today!! And I am going to try to stop flat ironing my hair for a while. Shit is getting serious lol

[Greenize42 62]

I don't flat Iron my hair Amy and that could be what's happening to make some of it fall out! I use nexius Shampoo and conditioner and then an anti frizz leave in conditioner then blow dry

I noticed that I'm starting to eat more than I have been. I've got to watch it though because I don't seem to suffer from 'dumping'... I can eat pretty much anything now. I ate a cookie the other day and I admit sometimes I'll eat a couple of my kids french fries or 'try' some of their food. I've got to stop doing that.

My hair has been falling out. It seems to have slowed some. I try not to think about it because it freaks me out a little. I don't blow dry my hair or use and kind of irons on it.

I still haven't started exercising regularly. I REALLY need to get to it. I haven't weighed in over a week. I'm down 95 since Dec. 16. S of last week. I've been stalling and getting discouraged a bit.

I struggle but I think I'm doing okay.

How is everyone else doing? Anyone else struggling?

Some days I struggle and then others not so much! I think my pouch is moody! Lol I Need to figure out other things to eat besides beans... Any ideas???? I can eat sweets but only to a certain extent then it makes me sick.. Which I am kinda glad it keeps me in check. The only meat I can really eat is hamburger meat but I have to have mayo or mustard on it. Tomorrow we are having shrimp so that should be ok! I struggle to find things that I can tolerate

I am only at 77 lbs since dec 12th so you are doing fabulous. I exercise but not as much as I should and if I would do it more often my weight would come off faster.

I'm on a 2 week stall... booooooo!

[u-no-it 28]

I am now fitting into my "old" smaller clothes and even they are somewhat baggy! I am down four sizes and 77 lbs and it's moving off of my body slowly.... I have got to get a move on with my workouts meaning more than 1 it 2 times a week! Nevertheless, I have my old shorts I can wear for summer and hopefully I will be buying more soon!!!!

Good job! I just realized that I will need to get some new ones... Edelman!!

I'm not sure what Hendersonville is. But I know that without my Protein Shakes and Protein Bars I wouldn't get the protein I need each day. And a few days of low protein intake seems to be followed by a week or so of stalling. Also, since I can now eat more normal foods, I am. That means I'm not getting my protein in. There's just not enough room for both.

[Greenize42 62]

Hendering lol

[Greenize42 62]

I know one med I can't seem to get it all in! Water Protein etc... You need to eat but then I can't drink for an hour and half after etc etc! I have been trying to get as much protein as I can in!

[Getting-used-to-new-me 119]

I agree. The ONLY way I can is by using my phone alarms. I have them set for every three hours, 9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, and 6 pm. But then life happens, I'm in the middle of something else and can't eat and drink and don't remember to until the next alarm goes off.

I also try to not be too hard on myself. And my surgeons group staff tell me that being in the overweight range, where I am now, instead of the obese range, where I was not many months ago, is really a huge success!

I sincerely hope this helps. I don't really know you or anyone here. But I have faith in you!
