Week 3 of a Bad Hair Month

Jun 03, 2010

Someone just posted asking about hair loss.  I was so glad they did.  Other posters mentioned it could be due to the anesthesia 3 - 6 mos postop (& I'm 6 mos today).  And a few others mentioned it is likely coinciding with hormone changes as well.  This made sense for the Poster & for me.  I never know when my TOM is going to hit now  - or how long.  But I'm definitely suffering from hair loss.  I was wondering if it was due to not enough protein intake when my restriction was so high.  Could be a combination of all three?  I'll see my stylist & see if she can help.

Since my slight unfill, I still felt pretty good restriction.  I noticed last night that I could eat more than I have for awhile.  So I kept my portion under control.  I was still truly hungry after that so I waited a few hours & then had a salad.  Today for lunch I was actually able to eat a grilled cheese sandwich.  It was heavily toasted bread.  I only expected to be able to eat half.  It was still w/in my portion size, and after 20 min, I was still truly hungry.  So I ate the other half.  That's going to cut my available Nut portions for dinner tonight though.  I have some left over pinto beans that sound yummy!  I'm hoping this is just a temporary thing.  Also I'll need to watch closely for head hunger vs body hunger.  My TOM is due right now... and I do have increased hunger at those times.  So I'll need to keep it in check & have veggies etc available at a moments notice.
