Hey all, I have a question. I lost ALOT of hair in the beginning after surgery but it has been growing back. But now all of a sudden I am losing it (LOTS) again. What is up? Has anyone had hair loss problems after you have been on maintenance? I am worried.
I still get at least 60 grams of protein (usually more but never under 60) All from food not liquid.
I drink lots of water (about 80-100 ounces)
I still take vitamins
b-12 shot, calcium, omega 3, 2 Flintstones, iron, and vit d
I will say that I am VERY stressed...mainly about gaining weight. Even though I only float between 3-5 pounds weekly. I have been snacking (way to much on pure carb snacks...like in a grazing manor..I know this is sooo bad and I beat myself up for it EVERYDAY)
So any advise..could the carb snacking be my hair loss problems? I have started charting EVERYTHING I eat to try to get back to reality on what I am really eating but HELP!!!
Im going to look that one up right now!
Everyone I have called wants at least $75 for the consult. So I guess I will just have to plan on spending that part for the search.
Thank you for you help
I will be glad when you get your date and start this phase of it. It will not be long for you, either.

Sorry to hear that. I weigh myself daily to prevent any weight gain of more than 1 or 2 lbs. Then I go on a low calorie diet for a few days until the weight drops back down. It's easier to control it at the 2 lbs mark so it doesn't get out of control.
Having said that.. use your built in weight loss tool. Watch your calorie intake, limit carbs, increase protein, get your fluids in. It's like riding a bike- it will all come back to you.
It's better to get control of it now than to come back in 6 months and be 30 lbs heavier. You can do it... stock your house with healthy foods and get rid of anything processed/made with high fructose corn syrup, etc. I have lean meats, fresh fruits, and high protein drinks/snacks on hand at all times at the house.
Hope this helps and good luck!
Meet with the nurses, doctor, and nutritionist. I could not ask for anything better. I only have to do a Clear Liquid Diet the day before.
Now I just have to wait on my lab results to get back. Go to support group over the next three weeks. Then the date will be here before you know it. I cannot wait. I am so excited.
