Topic: RE: OMG!!!! MY HAIR!!!!!
I have very fine hair as well and at group I talked to my nutritionist and she said to start taking a hair,skin, and nails formula vitamin and silica besides the biotin I was already taking.. I started both and within 2 weeks the fall out started to slow and my hair is in much better condition.. not to mention that my nails are the strongest they have ever been and my sister keeps telling me that my skin is "glowing". Hope this helps!

Mine has let up some, so I think an end is in sight. I hear usually 3-6 months.

Topic: RE: OMG!!!! MY HAIR!!!!!
I have noticed in the past couple of weeks that I shed like a dog in July now too. I don't have thick hair to start with and it isn't coming out in clumps but I have to pick it off my clothes all day long, so it is coming out. I was told by a nutritionist that trace minerals like zinc are important in maintaining and slowing hair loss. So maybe check your labs to see how your zinc levels are. Not much help I know. Let me know if you get any really good information.
Topic: RE: My stomach is GROWLING - I'm hungry!
I often have the same thoughts about eating too much and being hungry, I continue to journal every last little nibble I eat so that I can see where I go wrong. What was true before surgery is still true after, eating carbs and the wrong foods (not saying you are, just saying) will cause you to be hungry sooner and also crave more frequently. When I eat denser protein and low carb veggies I stay satisfied the longest. And never stop measuring and you won't overeat. I know I didn't answer your question, and I am sorry about that. Keep up the fluids and be careful of the choices you make to eat, I have an old list from weigh****chers that I still use as a reference its a filling foods list. I try to stick to that when I make food choices and I find myself less hungry.

About 2 months ago, my Dr told me, not everyone will lose their hair, but if it happens, "it will grow back". Then, mine started to fall out, went on for about a month (I have very thin hair to start with) It is NOW beginning to slow down. He didn't mention anything I could take, but I hope it completely stops soon.
Like you said "gobs" of hair, but mine were in the drain.
What I have done differently in the past month because of this is, I buy Body Fortress Whey Protein Powder from Walmart. It has 26 grams of protein per scoop. I use 2 scoops faithfully every day for breakfast = 52 grams. Protein drinks tend to make me somewhat nauseas, I think because they are so thick, so I drink it slow. Also, I use it in ½cup water & ½cup 1% milk, for even more protein. Besides that, making it in plain water taste too sweet for me.
I don't know if this is why it is slowing down, but I won't stop now!

Something must be wrong. My stomach growls and I feel hungry way too often. Sometimes I wonder if something was done wrong. I don't over eat, but I am sure my portions are larger then they should be. WHAT'S WRONG???? I don't want to be hungry. Seriously - Tell me, how can my stomach growl?

I am 5 months out and my hair started falling out about 2 months ago. I pull gobs of hair from my hair brush EVERYDAY! When is it going to stop???? I am lucky that I had thick hair to start with but I've lost more than half my hair. What can I take? Is there anything I can do? Will it stop falling out soon?? HELP!
Topic: RE: Body and Mind Not In Sync; How About Yours???
I was just sharing with some friends that EVERY time I go to step into my underwear I look at them and think...geesh these are small...they CAN"T fit me...!!!! LOL.. I am down from size tight 20 to a 10.. I ran out of clothes this month.. my son's gramma gave me many clothes after my surgery that were 12s/16s...So shopping I went to buy my first NEW pair of jeans not from the thrift store at Ol Navy.. I went into the dressing room with size 12 and 14 knowing Old Navy runs small..the 12 was TOO BIG.. I almost did a dance in the waiting room....the attendant shared my moment!! I proudly walked to the cashier with a size 10 and still can't believe it.. I suggest the Dreamer style to someone looking for good fit. I have always had a big behind before and now its gone about! LOL.. Those jeans fit amazing as I have thicker thighs too. I thought getting under 200 was amazing.!!!!
