Topic: RE: Hair Loss?!?!
Yeah, I'm not wanting to cut off my length. I've always loved having my long blonde hair but I'm debating about a shoulder cut to prevent at least some loss. I don't have a hubby so I don't have to worry about that, but I've always loved my hair and now it's disappearing along with me! lol
I think I'll just stick it out, keep the protein/calcium up and do what I can!

I hope it stops soon too!! My sister does the same thing, she picks the hair off the back of my shirt, but it's worse after I wa****!!
Thanks for replying!! It's nice to know it isn't just me!

So, should we expect to keep losing for the next 3 months? At this rate, I'll be in trouble!! lol

Topic: Back pain?
For the past 2 days, my upper back has been hurting. You know when you choke on something hard and it goes down the wrong way, it causes your upper back to hurt... thats how I'm feeling right now and have been since yesterday. My chest is hurting as well... boobies and all. It's just the breast bone, I guess. I don't know. Has anyone else had this feeling before?? What causes it and how can I undo it??

Linda-
I doubt you're done losing. I've also fluctuated a few pounds this past week. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with my cycle. Maybe that's the case for you. OR, I've also thought that I've tried/eaten some things that weren't in my normal diet (can you say yummy green bean casserole!). SO....maybe it's just the water weight from the salt in the items we ate or that we tried a few too many new things.
I'm sure if you get back on track (or stay on track!) that you'll start seeing results again soon. I know for me I have to remind myself that every little thing I put in my mouth, even if it's just a bite equals extra calories.
Be encouraged....I doubt you're done.

Aloha Miss Crystal.....I'm so glad to hear that I'm not alone. You had surgery just a week before me. I was thinking I was going to avoid the hair loss thing, but just a few days ago I noticed blond hairs in my shower, and now when I run my fingers through my hair it feels thinner, and I KNOW it's falling out. I'm so bummed. My hairdresser has told me I have thick hair, so I'm hoping it's thick enough to get me through this without looking like a freak, or having to get a wig. It's way too hot in Hawaii to wear a wig!
Thankfully everyone says this is temporary.....I sure hope so!
Thanks for sharing.
Aloha nui loa,

I started at 265 when I had surgery on 07/17/06, was down to 214 before Thanksgiving and now I've gained 4 pounds. Help!!!!

I can't believe I'm under 200 it has been years. I had a goal to be under 200 by Thanksgiving and I just knew that was too far fetched. But it wasn't too bad!..

I'm loosing not only weight but hair too! I asked the Dr yesterday at my gallbladder post op check-up yesterday. He said biotin helps some people, but with all I've been through it's a natural thing.
I'm going to the hairdresser today and might cut it a bit shorter ... hubby wasn't happy to hear that though!
