since then... I like to sit in my towel and just let the breeze through the windows hit me!

I checked my work schedule and I work on that day

I see your surgery is 3/27, how exciting!!!!!! if you need any help or anything let me know!!!!!! I am super excited for you!!!!!

Well I've only been to one meeting, but there were support people there, and just random people. So I don't think it is a big deal if you show up. I will be going to the April meeting, I will only be 1 week post op, but I'm sure it won't be a problem. Hopefully you can make it.

what day and time again? that would be a great meet up place for us!

I started out using the Shampoo and conditioner everyday. Now I use it a couple of times a week. The stuff goes a long way. It does not sudds up like most shampoos. They told me to start out using about a dime size amount. I have really long and thick heavy hair, so I use about a quarter size amount. My bottles were 16.95 and 20.95. I am still using the same bottles I bought in December. Hope that helps!

there is hope for me and my blonde hair, lol

sigh of relief!!!! Well I will keep this shampoo for me and only me... hubby and daughter... get your own darn shampoo!!!

o.k I am in. I am going to buy it too. I normally buy Shampoo and conditoin by Ion at Sally's keratin treatment, total I pay is approx 20.00 so 20 will be worth it, lol.. (urgh... i am so expensive, lol)

I was a 40D, I have been sleeved for about a year and a few weeks now... a sad 36 C and I still have more weight to loose!

Hmmm, i'm going to have to look into some of this as well. I'm nervous about adding in Iron as I've had issues with it before (digestive issues... not fun). My mom visited me a few weeks ago and she noticed right away. I hadn't. I have always lost a lot, saying while i'm brushing my hair or showering etc, but I guess it isn't growing back like it used to.

I was worried at first because my Protein wasn't very high... I was barely meeting my minimums. I switched my Protein shake though to one that is higher protein (but tastes nasty lol) and been more careful. It hasn't been very long so I don't know if it has helped or not.

How expensive is that Shampoo and do you have to use it every time or could you use say ever other time you washed your hair?

good question!! how do you use this shampoo?? and how much?? but if they sell it at Walmart or cvs must not be tooo expensive?

oh wow you have a salon in your Walmart? none of mine around my area do!!! I had my thyroid checked and it's fine. I will look for the products at CVS, Walmart etc... the website only gave me hair salons but they are very far from me!! so thanx for the giving me this info.. can't wait to try it! I have beautiful golden blonde hair, but it's so thin, that you can see my scalp big time

You know I was really hoping that there would be going on here. I've had a few idea's that I thought would be excellent. I was reading an article in a magazine about women coming up with innovatve ways to overcome the ressesion. One of the popular things was a clothing exchange. They set up changing areas and had full size mirrors. So not only did they bring clothes that they no longer wore, but they also brought accessories,purses, and shoes. I thought that would be great for WLS patients. So I'd love to try to get together a group of ladies and try to execute this. Also physical activity, with spring here and summer approaching, I thought it would be cool to kind of get an activity group togather, and maybe try different things. Some of the things I'm interested in doing are tennis lessons, kayak lessons, walking, biking.

So you're surgery is coming up soon!!!!! I don't even know but it would be great to visit you during your surgery, unfortunately I work those 3 days in a row! I work at a hospital 12hr shifts. So you said your hospital support groups accepts everyone? even people that weren't operated there? my hospital only accept their patients and no one else, not even guests or support partners! If they do heck! I would love to go with you to a support group if I can!

I am so excited for you!!!

ever since I found out I fit in a regular bath towel... after I shower, I stay in my towel and sit on the couch and just relax.... maybe it's time to buy a sexy robe? ooo i love my new life!

also my cousin was telling me she knows of someone who uses a Shampoo called "Caballo" it has a horse on the label... a horse! lol but supposedly it works, they sell it at Walmart

I know I had a full head of beautiful curly hair before i had my daughter, with my pregnancy, my thick hair thinned out and started falling out through out the 13yrs after I had my daughter... and now with this surgery! I am looking like my dad... bald as heck!!! lol it's embarrassing!, thanx for the website info!

and that is exactly what I was trying to do by doing this post!!! i feel so damn depressed and I need to do something, I need to be surrounded by ladies or even men like us. Who understand what we are going through, and it's different if we are surrounded by people in person than online. I mean online support is awesome but I need real interaction, like group stuff, it seems more real that way? HOpe I am explaining myself good. Sorry I am trying to type fast, hubby and i are going out, and i jumped on here quick when i read my notification on my cell, lol.

but I will get back to you on this.. i love this idea!!!!!!!! seriously!!! woohoo, I am very excited.

i still see the fatty girl!!! i am 74lbs lighter but still see the over weight chick.. makes me ultra depressed! no motivation at all!!

someone wrote xanax as a joke... i take xanax!! lol

thank you!

i looked it up online, i just dont know what website to trust... i am desperate, lol

My surgeon has suggested flaxseed oil and selenium along with nioxin scalp treatment and Shampoo.< /p>

may i ask where do you buy this nioxin scal treatment? do you buy it online or at a drug store? just wondering.. i am so lost since i never heard of this!

thanx a bunch!

oh my... what is nioxin scalp treatment.. gotta look that up!

thank you!!!!

its the best thing I have ever did!! i love it!!!

oh.. and here i was focusing on the Protein only! thanx for the tip!

an yea i am anemic as well!

I do my Proteins, and my Biotin.. but still my hair falls out, and falling out more recently!! I have been sleeved for a little over a year! What do you guys recommend to take to help my Hair loss problem

I totally get you!!! I look at what i call "my previous life" type of servings and think.. wow! how was I able to eat all that!!! Kind of how I use to hate when the skinny girls would look at me like "how can you eat all that!"....

When did you get sleeved? Wow! I loved the 1st dinner date I had with my hubby! it even felt romantic, I felt classy like the restaurant! lol. I was happy to fit in a booth comfortably. It was a seafood restaurant. I ordered a baked fish thing with rice and salad. I figured I will order a full dinner plate but save the left overs for the next day to come. I only had like 3 bites lol... but it was the best meal ever!!!!!
