Topic: RE: Hair Loss
Hi Julia,
I had my surgery on 4-26-05 and down 70 lbs. I just starting loosing hair in handfuls also.
I have VERY fine, VERY thin hair and I am freaking out over it. I have heard a lot of different reasons, so I have just started taking a zinc suppliment and keeping on my protien shakes each day. I have heard this is a process and mostly due to the shock our bodies are going through and it DOES pass within 5-7 months. By the time I'm done, I'll be bald LOL..hope not! Hey bald and skinny is better then bald and fat I suppose...LOL!
Just keep it together and wait for it to pass. Keep up your protien, your suppliments and all will work out.
Purrs,
Dee

It could be, but probably a coincidence. I was in a stall also, and when I checked Thursday, I had finally lost 2 pounds. More good news!
I am finally seeing gray roots. I never thought I'd say that! It means my hair is growing again and I have lots of little grey stubble. Off to get some hair color. Joy!
Joy!

Topic: RE: How much has everybody lost????
As of today I am down 92 lbs.
The pouch still gives me problems; this week was bad so I ate very little and only lost a pound.
But hopefully things will improve with time.

hiya April babies,
i'll be 4 months out on the 29th, and as of today i've lost 85lbs, and feeling sooooooooooo much better these days. I too was wondering if I had fallen behind all of you in weightloss since I haven't been on the boards in about a month and a half. It seems though that i'm right on track with the rest of you, and like you my loss has slowed down alot! Of course due to my hernidated disc I can't get up. and exercise unless you count housework. I've lost about 15-20lbs over the past two months, but better some than none. I've gone from 353 the day of surgery with a bmi of 59.6 to 267 and a bmi of 44.4 I developed an ulcer 3 weeks out, and still dealing with it but other than that doing well. No hair loss as of yet keeping my fingers crossed on that one. We've all done so great and i'm proud of us all!!!!

It certainly is worth a try!
My weightloss has slowed to a crawl also. I wish there was a way to speed it up, but I'm greatful at least that the scale isn't going UP either.
Can I ask what your food stats are for a typical day? Protein, Calories?

I had surgery on 04/05 also! My hair is coming in large handfuls ALL DAY long. My doctor said that it would eventually stop. My hair is really thick, so maybe nobody will notice!! I am losing weight really slow. I have lost 48lbs. I was in the hospital for 2 months though and I did not lose any weight during that time. It is frustrating... but I am told that it gets better!
