Topic: Hair Loss?
It's been too long since I've visited this group and I need to start making you guys a regular part of my routine! After all we are in our journeys together and are all experiencing the same wonderful highs! AND I need to congratulate everyone on our 6 month SURGIVERSARY!! Wow! Can we all believe it's been 6 months already!?? And did ANY of us ever DREAM we'd be where we are so quickly??
Hey I also have a question... I was under the impression that hair loss was just about a given and that it would happen by 6 months. I'm knocking on wood but so far it has not happened. Has anyone else had no hair loss so far? Am I just a late hair loser and it's going to still happen or is it possible that it won't happen to me? My doc says he has not had anyone who did not lose any hair. I HAVE kept my protein up to 80-100 grams AND take 2500 mg's of biotin every day... even since a month before surgery I took the biotin. My doc said it can't hurt me but when I told him before surgery that I was taking it to help with the hair loss he doubted very much it would help. So I'm just wondering if anyone else hasn't had hair loss yet?
Now I can't wait to read through everyone's messages here and check out peoples profiles to see how everyone is doing! I hope everyone is posting pictures to their profiles too. I LOVE seeing photos!!!
Hugs to all!

Topic: RE: How many calories are you all going for at 6months?
I was getting in about 800-1000 calories since surgery but doc wants me to increase a bit since I'm just about down to goal and still have several more months of malabsorption/honeymoon period to go so he's upped me to 1200 calories. It was kind of neat to have a doctor telling me to eat MORE after all these years of the opposite BUT.... that's not so easy with this tiny pouch!!! The weird thing is that I've been eating more since my appointment 2 weeks ago and my weight loss has not slowed down. I have pretty much consistently lost 2 pounds a week since surgery no matter what. I had one 2 week stall and that was it.

I shoot for 1000 cals...
60 to 70 grams of protein
30 grams of fat
80 to 90 grams of carbs (complex)
I'm curious to hear what everyone else is doing!!!

Topic: How many calories are you all going for at 6months?
I had been staying at 800 but now its almost impossible.. i always go over by at least a few calories. It would be good to know how many calories others are sticking to at the same time out. THanks!
