4 months out... progress and a little complaint too
OK, I am just past 4 months out. This has been amazing. I am down 93 pounds since my highest KNOWN weight in May (who knows if I was higher than that, I had been going to the gym for a few weeks before knowing that weight)... I am down 75 pounds since my surgery June 25th... I am wearing a size 14/16 bottoms and 14/16 top, or a top as a M-L (pending on style) now. In June I was wearing size 26 pants and 26/28 tops (some 22/24, but not many), and was in a 3X for shirts. So many things to be proud of, so many inches lost throughout my body (I will measure this weekend, however my blog has my info from last months measurements)...
BUT DAMN IT MY HAIR IS GOING AWAY!!! I have always had thin hair anyway... but this whole disappearing trick with my hair is driving me crazy. My hair is everywhere... I run the brush thru my hair gently a few times and it just fills up. my husband made a comment once about how i need to clean my brush more, and I told him it was clean before brushing my hair... I have strings of hair all over my clothes, and whole hand fulls after each brushing... I knew I would lose hair but I am going to be freakin bald at the end of this hair loss time if seems! Its not like I had a lot of hair to begin with, I was very thin haired to start, so losing so much hair is DEF not good. When I pull my hair back in pony tail for the gym I have two areas especially above the ear area(like an inch and half above, not directly above of course) that is so thin that you see my scalp versus the hair in those spots... ugh
So, while I am still happy with all this progress I am really not liking this hair loss... gotta take what you get tho, and I wouldn't trade my health for anything... but still DAMN it I want my hair back!

I am right there also. My hair is falling out alot. I have been taking Biotin but only for about 2 weeks now so not enough time to see if it's working. My fingernails are horrible also. Thin and splitting. From what they say the Biotin will help that also. Protein is not my friend...i try to get it all in each day and it is a struggle. It will all come back in time. I just hope i don't become bald! Yikes
