Rainy days and Mondays!

Good Morning All! Hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was supurb when it wasn't storming. Pretty bad when you just start ignoring the tornado sirens. My hair is starting to REALLY fall out. I started taking Biotin, hopefully not too late and I'm trying to up my protein. How much Biotin do you guys take daily? Having a really hard time getting in protein, I'm kind of going through a phase right now not really caring about eating. I'm sitting here right now forcing down a cheese stick! Lost 4.6 lbs last week, guess that really proves that walking does work! I have steadily been losing about 2 lbs a week for the past few months so that was a nice surprise. Have a great day and don't forget your umbrella!

Julie, I think the dieticians originally told me to take 150 mcg/day of Biotin when my hair was falling out. I couldn't find 150 mcg at that time so I took 500 mcg/day. Within 2 weeks, my hair quit falling out. Now, I'm talking ~2000 mcg/day. Saw them at the drug store and decided 'what the heck'. Just had my bloodwork done about 2 weeks ago and everything came back fine, including my biotin levels. Sherri

i am in need of a hair cut....i need to take the time to sit in the chair and git r done....my last hair cut i was scalped so i have been in fear of going..wow just before the last clothing exchange..i had the last one...i only want 1/4 of an inch cut off....trimmed up and shapped up is all i want done...I take 1000 mg a day

Just look your beautitian in the face and say... I will NOT pay you if you take off more than 1/4 inch.. I tell mine that all the time.. I say do not try to talk me into anything... I know what I want. If you dont think it will look good tough!! She always follows my orders now... she likes the tip.. I go to Bobbie Jean's just south of the Ameriplex big barn like building off to your left as your going south.. I take 500 mg Biotin and I am doin fine.. Protien is STILL important... dont be a slacker... more than your hair is resting on your diet. Linda

Hi Julie, I am just 10 days post op. I tried the Protica protien supplement advertised on this board (lower left) from Profect.com. They have 4 flavors and they contain 25 grams of protein in just 2.9 oz. I checked with Sarah, the dietitian at Dr Clark's office and she said they were fine. They are pretty easy to get down. They taste kind of like Koolaid. I'm not a big fan of fruit flavored drinks, but I figure I can get 2.9 oz of just about anything down. I can drink one tube in about 10 - 15 minutes. I drink 1 in the AM and 1 in the PM. That gives me 50 grams of protein per day just that easily. Good Luck. Cindy
