Hi everybody!

New Group! -- http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/atkins/

We will be discussing low-carb / high-protein / Paleolithic / high-fat / Atkins eating programs!

Several OH members have posted questions or comments about the Atkins program, and also about high-protein, or low carb, or high-fat dieting.  Some people are interested in trying it to lose weight, or to refine their weight-loss, or just get carb cravings or blood-sugar under control.

This new group will provide information and support for those who would like to try this way of eating.

Even though I had WLS three years ago, and am thoroughly pleased with my Roux-en-Y, it has become necessary to get my sugary-foods cravings under control.  I still dump like a Mack truck, but have found other carbs slipping unhealthfully into my eating, and dearly wish to lose a little more weight.

So -- I'm "doing" Atkins again (it was effective for me in the past).  If you are also researching this way of eating, come give the new group a shot!

Any takers?

I keep reading on here, and also the google group about salt.
Can one of you ladies explain?

It can be found here -> http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/male_plastics/welcome/

We have 19 men who have joined us so far.   Feel free to join and then stop in and introduce yourself if you have had or are considering plastic / reconstructive surgery post weight loss!

Cheers!
Tom

About

Welcome to a new online support group for men who have had or are considering plastic - reconstructive surgery after weight loss surgery.  It's hard for men researching this topic to find others in the same boat.  

I have created this group to help those looking for information and photos from other men who have gone before them seeking surgery for excess skin removal etc.

Hi there! I under stand! I had my surgery march 17 2003 and when my hair started circling the drain I freaked out! My hair was long black and curly  and was falling out all over mainly on the top and the front edges so what I did was buy a good draw string ponytail! They are inexpensive and their are different lengths and you can go stright to a little curly. At first I was a little afriad of people staring at me but I got over that real quick! For me it was either people stairing at my bald spot or looking at me like wow! there goes one fine confident woman! Oh and I used hair gel to slick down the sides and the edges a good protien one and you can go to just about anywhere to get a drawstring ponytail and just remember to use bobby pins to hold it in place. But eventually your hair will stop falling out. A friend om mine who also had it done uses probiotics Hair Skin and Nail vitamins and her hair is nice and thick and I use them too and I swear by them! Rogain......I didnt bother
