B - protein bullet

L - 3 wings from Shoppers  (got full after 2 1/2 wings)

D - 10 steamed jumbo shrimp (they were on sale at Giant for 8.99 a pound), few pieces of brocolli

Dessert - none - unless you want to call the antacids dessert - I started getting heartburn after  drank SF fruitpunch

All of my fluids
All of my vitamins!

Hmmm..............well, there's calcium in the antacids!!!  I don't know what it is about fruit punch - it doesn't like me and I don't like it!!!!

I didn't avoid the chocolate last night because of all the work drama, but it was only 3 minis, which is still bad but nothing compared with what I used to do!!

      fresh mango slices

And I forgot to add on mine - l/f butter flavored popcorn with Splenda - Instant kettle corn - O M G!

      1/8 of a shrimp/chorizo quesadilla smeared with guacamole and sour cream

I tried to get in some extra protein.  I did a litle better than usual, anything to stop too much hair loss!!

D - doesn't really matter as it didn't stay down anyway. Was that TMI???

Jo -

I know what everyone said about upping your protein, but honestly, that wasn't the case for me.  In fact, when I spoke at DVR's info sessions to pre-ops, they would ask about hair loss, and Dr. Mo always said it was lack of protein, but I nicely disagreed.  I was the MOST compliant patient you could ever find - I got in more than enough protein, and always did it first and foremost, and I STILL lost hair.

I'm not sure that there IS a reason for it, but I'm still not convinced it's the lack of protein.

It WILL grow back!  I know it's frustrating in the interim, but just hang in there!

Thanks T for the support.

I swear that it's partly the anesthesia to blame as well as the hormone fluctuations from the rapid weight loss.  At 4 months out from both of my c-sections and 4 months out from my wls I lost hair.  The only relationship between the two surgeries are the meds and the hormones (for me).  Thank God it mostly grows back!  I just stopped losing hair after two months and now with having surgery on Thursday I guess in another 4 months I'll be shedding again.  I hope my scalp recovers from this hair loss by then!  Otherwise I'm gonna start looking like Dad!  btw, his hair is growing back......it's WHITE!
