Topic: RE: milk...is it really that bad of a no no?

Often times they will say to limit milk because of the calories and fat content....skim milk or 2% is generally what they recommend. Milk is a great source of protien, calcium and Vit D, but it does have fat and calories...so it depends on your surgery type and your focus.

Topic: RE: AM I ALONE??????

You are not alone...I kept thinking I could handle it, it was a small price to pay to once and for all be losing the weight, but now that its coming out in fistfuls, I'm not at all okay with it! I haven't gotten the courage to cut it off yet, but I think that day is coming soon.....

My DH has tried to cheer me about about it. The latest was this morning while getting ready for work: Me: brushing hair in bathroom Him: so have you weighed yourself this morning? Me: not yet. after i do my hair and brush my teeth Him: oh...so what, you expect to lose another pound with all the hair that you're brushing out....

I have lost a LOT of hair!!!! I had to get 7 inches cut off, because the falling hair was everywhere... it still is. C'est la vie. It is what it is. I'm just happy to be down 67 lbs... the hair loss is small price to pay!

Sarah you are not alone, I just had my hair cut too and my bed in the morning has alot of hair in it still, I have heard that it does slow down and will regrow, just make sure you are keeping up with your protien and they say that helps, You are doing great with you weight lost too Take care Janet

Topic: RE: Hair Loss

I have lost a LOT of hair this month. I had big/thick hair to begin with, so I'm really enjoying my thinner hair. I got a nice sleek haircut, and wish I could have this thinner hair forever!!!! I realize that my thick hair will probably return, but I'm enjoying my new-do for the moment
