Good to see you, Darcy! What wonderful progress!
I should take biotin, but I already have the pill collection. I guess one more doesn't matter, eh?
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I'm a fan of Biotin. Plus, they're one of the less revolting pills to swallow. The ones I get are a squishy gel case with liquid inside, so they go down very easy.
The down side is a bit of TMI: my leg hair is growing like they've been hit with fertilizer. Which does price to me at least that the biotin helps hair grow...
I should figure out how to change my avatar... And find some before pic somewhere besides my driver's license. I tried to upload a picture here, but it ain't doing...

Great job!!! Fantastic .
You may add SF jello to the mix. The collagen in jello is what the nails and skin are made from.
Fantastic job.

I've been thinking about gelatin pills... Because I loathe jello. I ate it around the surgery, but I have hated it(to the point of inducing nausea) just by thinking of it since I was 11 y/o.
Ohh I think I've figured out how to add pictures... That button that says ADD PHOTO... looks promising.

Yes. You can buy collagen pills. And...you can also buy hydrolyzed gellatin that disolves in ho****er. I can't taste it when I add it to my hot drinks. I often make jello - then can't eat it hot - so I reheat it and drink it. If you like tea, coffe or hot lemon water - it may be good to try. I also mix gelatin into my chicken soup... I can't taste it and it is a great base when I make homemade egg drop soup ...or even very thick soup. (strain the stock , drink it separately- and eat the thick soup...)

Ohh good ideas! I drink tea(hot and cold). I probably will try both the pills and the packets. I've not purchased any since my blackberry or lemon marshmallow making days. (Which I shouldn't even think about because I am pretty sure that no sweet in history ever tasted better than my blackberry mallows...)
