Thanks Dawn,
I had not been on for a while and missed your reply. Thanks for the PS at the bottom of the post. I went back in and revisited my profile. I did get better as the weight came off. I think I will pose with darling husband tonight and post to the profile again. I love you guys on this site. I am actually getting back into the mood to re-start my weight loss. I have been stuck for a while. Thanks again Dawn.

Nicole,
I agree w/ Denise on the hair thing. Up your protien. I have the same thing, it will start falling out more when I slack on protien.
On the bathroom, have you tried up'ing your fluid intake? I go about every 2-3 days. If it is longer than that then I know I haven't been drinking enough water/fluids. As soon as I up that no problems.
If you are already trying that, then hopefully your doc can offer some help.

Hi Nicole -
Congratulations on your success!
I am still losing some hair, but not nearly at the rate I did in the beginning. I had very thick hair and used to have it thinned, as well, but have stopped doing that. I do know that when I increase my protein intake, less hair comes out, so you might want to try that. I also use Pureology hair products from my salon (expensive, but filled with protein). I'm not sure that makes much of a difference since the hair is dead anyway, but I was willing to try anything!
I don't have issues with the bathroom and visit it about once every other day with no assistance (softeners or laxatives). I would suggest talking to your doctor about that problem.
Have a wonderful holiday season!
Denise
Topic: 2 part question...
first of all congratulations to all of you..
1st..I am a year post op and my hair is still falling and breaking off. I use to get my hair thinned every 3-6 months now my stylist said to stop cutting it, any suggestions?
2nd..Anyone having issues with the bathroom? I only visit my bathroom every 4 days and that is with softners or laxatives. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nicole

Topic: 155 lbs down
I made the 150 lbs before the OH Convention 2 weeks ago in Costa Mesa. I have now upped the protein again to 100 grams per day minumin....and lost another 5 lbs. I have noticed younger Wls than I have lost faster than me, I am 55 years old. I do not move as much as I should. But, I move more than I did at 347lbs post op. It has been a great year. I am healthier than I have been in 20 years plus. I look good. Blood test came back with my iron a little low. Now I take ferrous gluconate 324 mg...but besides that all is well with the surgery. I should of done it yrs prior...but did not....What a waste but then again....maybe I would of failed at the attempt because I was not ready. Who knows? I just know there is alot of success cases for our month of Nov-2004...keep on losing and keep on posting. Sandy in Tucson 155 lbs down 347/340/185/150
