Hi there,
My Local Nutrion store told me to take Biotin pills. I think it helps alittle I was losing more & now seems to be slowing down. I also try to take a break every other day, 1 day blow drying the next day curly. & I use Biotin Shampoo from Nexxus.
Good Luck,
Sharon

Laura, That is exactly what the girls at our local GNC told me. They actually recommended that I don't take anything extra. Thanks.

Nancy, I heard prenatal vitamens work well but my dr. doesn't want his patients to take them. I take my bariatric vitamens. Thanks for your response.

Thanks Barbie! I guess you can't have everything. My husband cleans up the hair becuase he says he doesn't want me to stress out about it. I also think it is a pretty small price to pay to be thinner.

Topic: RE: hair loss
Hello Kelley!! I have been lucky, didn't lose very much hair. In talking with my nutritionist, she felt that this is more of an effect of anesthesia rather than the weight loss. Her surgeons told her that they notice hair loss with patients that have had other kinds of surgeries at 3 or 4 months out. This made sense to me as I had lost 100 pounds 10 years ago and didn't lose hair. She said the best thing for it is time. She also said that it is so important to keep the proteins and vitamins up for what is going on inside rather than outside. The people at GNC stores are great help but make sure to OK the stuff with your doctor before taking it. Ü
Topic: RE: hair loss
I started losing a noticable amount of hair about two weeks ago. I have followed Dr's orders on the protein but seems I am destined to lose the hair. Not surprised, since the same thing happened when I did Optifast years ago. If it gets bad enough I can buy a wig.
The hair loss is a minor thing to me, compared to the benefits of losing the weight. Weight had taken over my life and now I've been given my life back. I can exercise, shop, clean house, work in my yards now. Sounds like normal things to most people but those are things I haven't been able to do for myself the last few years.
Life is great!
Topic: RE: May Flowers...That's YOU!
I'd be a red geranium so I could feed all those beautiful humming birds. It's so much fun to watch them feed from the flowers.
Thank goodness I am a human though. Flowers only last a few days.

Relax and enjoy the 60 lbs you have lost. Our bodies have periods where they stop losing and adjust to the fact that we still have enough fat for the body to let more of it go.
We all panic when it happens so you're no different than the rest of us. I've been there already so I do understand the disappointment you are experiencing now.
Are you going to allow a pair of scales to ruin the experience of losing 60 lbs? Remember they are just a piece of junk metal but you have a brain to reason what is happening to you now.
We should be able to eat more now that we could after surgery. That's the way the pouch works. If you aren't doing so, you should go to Fitday and start logging your food every day. It amazes me on days I think I have blown it that when I record what I ate I find it doesn't add up to many calories. On bad days I might eat 700 calories but on other days I eat less than 500 healthy calories so it all works out.
Best of luck for your continued weight loss.
