so....what do you think??? According to the answers there, hair loss and fatigue(what I'm experiencing) have nothing to do with protein intake. I take in about the same amount of protein as you do so the "pat" answer never made sense. :)D

It was so good to see everyone! Since I had my surgery the most recently, I was happy to see the progress everyone has made. It boosts your spirit! For those who didn"t make it, I hope you can next time. There are just some things you can only talk about with our group. See everyone soon.

I get in about 100g of protein a day, and my Doc said that was plenty. I told him that I was concerned that I was losing so much hair and he said that it's to be expected, and that everyone varies. 
I'm thankful that mine is slowing down, was worried that I'd have to start wearing a wig soon! LOL I also use a high keratin (protein) shampoo and conditioner to help keep what hair I still have, nice and strong.
I am going to go check out the FAQ part of the PB site, I want to read through what else they have on there. Thanks Deanna.

hi Ladies.... I was looking at the PB website last night and the answers for HAIR LOSS and FATIGUE at the FAQ post op section were very interesting and enlightening. Maybe I have been told this stuff before, but I don't ever remember hearing the docs explain it like this......they have always said that hair loss is because of lower protein intake and I always wondered about that answer.....read it and tell me what you think:)D

good morning Becca......I'm wondering if many of us who have had food addictions/weight problems have this. I can't say that anyone has ever said that I have it, but sometimes I still think of myself as BIG BIG and have to take a look in a mirror to remind myself....good question....something for us all to think about:)D

Wow, what a transformation. We all deserve it! All those classes and all the waiting period to have surgery! It was so nice to see ya all. It's nice to actually talk to people about the surgery, my support circle is really small.
I do have a question for everyone...they have diagnosed me as having body dismorphia. Even now I look at pix and I still see myself as really fat. Anyone else have this. I know I am leaps and bounds from where I was. I feel smaller than i see myself in pix. Every time I look at pix of myself I still see myself as HUGE!! Even now after 80+ pounds off. Does that make sense???
Love you guys! hope to see ya soon
PS. Sian I will drop the shorts off tomorrow LOL
