I am taking biotin, it prevents you hair from falling out, it is a vitamin, Walgreens has it. I take 1 5000 mg pill a day.
Topic: RE: Time for a roll call.
Hi everyone!!!
I have been MIA because i've been working overtime and been in classes for teaching. I am a SLOOOOW loser GRRR...maybe if I got of my butt and exercised I wouldn't be. I am down 63 lbs as of four days ago. I have 102 lbs more to go. That seems like a lot but I know if I'm going to get there I am going to have to start moving!!
Well I must get to work now!!
Everyone is doing WONDERFUL!!

okay... I was 340 at my consult in January, 337.5 a few days before surgery... I am down 79.2 lbs from the 340... in 16.5 weeks.
I set my goal weight at 140 (unrealistically low, I know), so that leaves me with about 120 lbs to go. The reason I am shooting low is to allow for a bit of regain... of course, when I get near it, I will reevaluate!

I pray that you continue to feel better. I had surgery two days before you, and your rocking that weight loss. Best of luck, as you continue to recover from your hernia repair surgery!

Lori,
Sorry to hear about the hair loss. It is very upsetting. I am having a hard time upping my protein. I just found out I have a large kidney stone I have to deal with now. My stomach is hurting most of the time and it's hard to eat or drink all that much.
I do hope the hair loss stops for both of us soon.

Hi Wanda...I'm cheating...I had my surgery in Jan, but like to check other boards as well. Noticed your post and thought I'd share. I began losing my hair (profusely) at around 4- 4.5 months and it's still falling out just as bad...I also had thin hair to begin with, but it's gotten worse with about half the volume now gone. From what I have read, the hair loss begins to get worse somewhere between 4- 5 months out and can continue as long as a year out. I'm hoping it doesn't continue that long for me 
I lose chunks of hair throughout the day EVERY DAY. I thought I was out of the woods so to speak because I had it in my head that the hair loss was immediate after surgery, but was sadly mistaken.

Thank you so much for your support and prayers. I always love to hear from you. I have not been too active on OH lately but I have been lurking and see your posts from time to time. Congrats to you too. Could you have imagined that 40's would have been in our future,lol?
Anyway, great to hear from you and I hope you all have a happy 4th. I don't guess I am going out to see fireworks tonite as I don't feel strong enuff to sit in a crowd but I do love this wonderful land of ours and hope you have a great day.

Topic: Down 86 pounds Since March
Alot of people do not recognize me anymore. I went from a size 24 jeans to a 13/14. I feel great, life is good! Still struggling with the portion control aspect. I still pile food on my plate, like i am really gonna eat it all LOL, I end up taking a few bites and I am done. For some reason I still feel like I am really big in my mind. Still struggling to get all my protein in and taking biotin vitamins, because I am scared my hair will fall out, other than that I am doing very well! I hope everyone is doing o.k. too.
