Yes, BAF was very active back in the day and I, myself am guilty for migrating over to the FB BAF site.  However, this is where it all started for me.  As a pre-op and newbie, I received a wealth of information from this site, made great friends and I aim to post more to hopefully serve as a resource to others going through the journey.

Happy New Year!

Becca and I have been eating a ton of vegetables and very little meat, she is trying to make me a vegetarian and I am not liking it but I figure nothing else seems to really work for me why not try it.  Stuff that does work only works for a short time and then make me fatter.  

No resolutions for me this year because they are a joke in my life, back in the gym getting it done and trying to lose some weight before my summer trip. 

 

I am so sick and tired of the broken record that says the same thing over and over.

I also have locs and at about 8 months they started thinning a little and I was afraid I would have to start over but then it just started growing like a weed and getting thick again. Just make sure your loctician is not pulling too hard and make sure you are getting enough protein in. Good luck

I'm from CT but been to Milwaukee many times on business way back when.  The share button linking this site to the world killed BAF.  We got way too personal back in the day for those threads to show up elsewhere.  Still, we can support each other anywhere.

i lost a lot of hair but my hair was thinning before the surgery, i am also hypothyroid but my levels were fine, my hair is slowly growing back but i still have a very thin spot in the stop of my head! i just wear weaves, braids anything to cover the thinness, i have also increased the biotin and added selenium, i was also told to keep my hair moisturized, use castor oil, i had the DS also. i agree with keeping your vits up but you may not be able to avoid losing your hair, it varies by individual.

Yes, you are SO right!. It is such a mind game. U have to have and keep a focus relationship with food. I was on a honey mood period for 4 years. Pretty much ate in moderation what I wanted etc. My iron was extremely low. I had a blood transfusion in may. Since May I have gained 20 pounds....I am thinking wth!. But I am back focused, and I will get theses 20 pounds off.

Thanks luv.  Just giving back a bit of what the old heads gave me.  Its scary how easily the old behaviors creep back in even after a few years of getting it right.
