    nikki82 got a reaction from Ohwhataworld in Hair Loss Prevention!   
    I've also taken Biotin.. and I started way before I had the surgery. Nothing helps.. but I will say that I have locs and that I've only lost hair along the right side of my hairline.Not much though.. But let me input that that area's always been a week spot/stress point for me. Sooo.. with me It seems I've only lost hair where I've had troubles in the past. Other than that everythings great.. That's literally the only spot where I've lost hair.. The rest of my hair/hairline is very thick and has stayed put... I wonder if I didn't have damage in that area would I be losing hair at all..hmmm lol

    Not feeling hungry has never happened for me. After surgery of course my appetite was non-existant, but 3 months out I started getting hunger pangs. So I ate. And sometimes they would come often, and again, I ate. It never hindered my weight loss in anyway either. I figured if my body is telling me it's hungry then..chow down, but only on healthy foods. My hunger is sated very easily and I know that's because of the surgery.
    As far as the second question - I don't really remember a "magic number" per say, but I did notice is was a lot easier for me to get around, and have more energy 2 months out. Walking up the steps became so much easier and standing on my feet didn't hurt my back as much.
    I danced when I put on clothing I wasn't able to fit into for a while. Yep. Dancing is how I celebrate. I did a little jig this morning after I come off the scale. 2 lbs lighter is worth a dance and a shimmy to me... lol
    The weight loss has always show in my face first, but this time it's my derrier as well, which I'm soooo happy about. My butt had it's own zip code. Oh, and my hands.. I can actually see veins, bones and tendons which is so cool! I've always wanted slender hands.
