Ohhhh thinning hair! Mine was short to begin with but very thick. I usually didn't have to do much but let it dry and it would look full. But now....yikes! I have to mousse it up and use blow dryer to make it look like have hair! I am sooo not used to this! Hubby is complaining about hair in the drains, on the furniture, on the back of car seats and he is always brushing it off my back and shoulders...it is worse then a dog! rofl. I am taking Biotine and makeing sure I get all my protein plus....I hope it stops soon so the new growth will fill in.

I cut my hair shorter when it started falling out. It was halfway down my back, and now it just brushes my shoulders. Mine falls out so much that my husband has to clean out the shower drain about every other week. Otherwise it stops up the drain. Last time he had to look at it twice because the first time he thought the hair was metal (that is how thick it was). My hair is so thin now. I don't think you should get it cut too short, specially if you have never had it that short before. But cutting it some may help the hair loss not seem so traumatic.

I am so glad to hear you are doing it too I don't want to get on the scales fpr at least a week but I am hoping it's just a platue thing everyone says and it's not the nd I am not ready for the end I just got started and about half way there... went to a support meeting last night and was walking out of there on a pure high everyone said wow you are just shrinking in size!!! Thats boosted my spirtes but not the scales???? Hey got to tell you something,,, this is very common comment I get "every time I see you , you look like you are just a shrinking person" so guess what dream I have been having that I shrink yeah the fat is gone but I also am so short that no one can hardly see me and I do have an Aunt that is about 4 foot tall and looks shorter every time I see her gosh sure hope it's just a bad dream!!!!!! well had to tell ya your not alone but it will pass. Take care and thanks for liven things up around here! shirley

Sorry to hear how frustrated you are. You've already lost a bunch, and you'll lose more too!! Stay positive and focus on the healthy lifestyle. Before you know it, you'll be on the losing side!!! --Dave 350/228/205

Don't feel too bad. My friend that had gastric bypass with me had a stricture for months and just had gallbladder surgery. I had a bowel blockage and complications from surgery for the bowel blockage and ended up in the ICU. But, we are both thinner and happier and don't regret the surgery at all!
