  1. Thanks! But just be mentally prepared for it is all I can say. Start taking biotic as of now. I made the mistake of not doing that. I started using Nixon last week so I'm hoping that will help grow it back soon.its mentally traumatic, for me at least, but I still don't regret the surgery. But I hope this stops soon. My hair started fAlling out a month ago already. I would actually like it if it maybe even slowed down Thanks everyone for listening!
  2. I know it's been talked about here A lot but I'm freaking out about my hair loss!! I cry every time I shower and see the chunks of hair that fall out. I've been taking my 60-80 gems of protein a day, my vitamins and everything the dr told me but it didn't help I had my surgery in January and I knew this was going to happen and I thought I was prepared to handle it, but I'm taking it hard. I know all the reasons this happens and all that but I just need to vent. I feel like I'm going bald!! Sorry if some of u get annoyed by this post but I really needed to vent! Thanks to those who took the time to read this.

    I haven't even walked into a clothing store to loom for clothes for me. I'm actually fitting into my old clothes. I don't think I can even start looking for new clothes without feeling overwhelmed as well. Its scary... And I haven't even tried drinking a diet coke! I'm scared to! But I'm dying for a diet dr. pepper! Its the little things in life I miss. Sometimes I feel depressed, then happy, then mad.... Talk about mood swings! Lol

  7. I'm gonna go get those Chrystal light things tomorrow and try them out. And peanut butter... I LOVE it, so I'm gona start eating more of it. Thanks everyone for the advise! I was afraid it was dehydration :-(
  8. Besides drinking more water, is there anything else I can do? I've been drinking g2 since I got out of surgery but I guess its not working :-(
  9. I'm trying to drink as much liquid as I can but I don't think I'm drinking as much as I'm suppose to. :-( I'm only about a month and a half out and I find water disgusting now. Before the surgery I use to drink water like nothing and now... Ugh! What moisturizer do u recommend?
  10. My face is completely dry! Its flaky and rough! Has anyone ever experienced this after surgery? I put on moisturizer all the time and it doesn't help. Does anyone know what's going on?
  11. Ok, I tried these but only for about 3 weeks. I couldn't stand the taste! Its a good way to get ur protein in but after a while, you get tired of the gross taste. I started gagging after a while and got to the point where when I looked at one and was about to open it, I started gagging and cringing right away! Ewww! I'm going back to protein shakes. At least they taste better than the protein shots. And do remember that ur body can only absorb 25 to 30 grams at a time. don't buy them in bulk until you are sure you can handle the taste.
  12. hey Melissa how is it going?

  13. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! For all the advice!! i tried the pineapple juice yesterday at the airport while i was traveling back home and guess what??? I can eat now!!! I'm so relieved!!! I don't know what i would do without you all! my friends! I was so scared!! But the pineapple juice worked! i guess i did have something stuck in there! i'm so grateful for you all!
  14. Really? Pineapple juice? I'll try that when I get home! But can something be stuck for 3 days?
