Take Biotin but from what I have researched it may happen anyway. It does grow back.

One of the reasons why people suffer hair loss is that they do not adhere to the Protein requirements. So make sure that you take the Protein supplements each day.

Oh, thank you for bringing up boredom. I have started a room in the house where I'll hangout for recovery. I had a C-section with a very slow recovery. I'm not going to get caught in that situation again. Must plan what to do while I "hang out" because I get bored very easily. There is only so much TV I'll be able to watch in a day, right?

Hey ladies, how is it going? I would love to know how you are doing. My legs looked thinner to me already. And my clothes are already loose. It's only been 1.5 weeks. Amazed.
