  2. thanx everyone.. makes me feel better that no one has actually clamed to completely going bald!. just a whole lot of shedding.. so I guess I'll just ride this part out. I am 5 months out. & have been taking Shakeology since day one.. a protein shake good for hair, nails & skin.. but can't prevent everything.. sounds like it only last 3 months or so.. I hope!!

  14. you look awesome! cant wait to be there too. congratz
  15. thanx everyone!! soo helpful. I was sleeved on Feb 4th. so thats long enough, I hope to start my vities again. I actually dont have insurance so I was sleeved in Mexico. Which I could probably call & ask them. But taking advice from people who have been where I am just seemed better. I thought about buying some liquid vitamins or dissolving ones. but I want to finish what I have now.. which is quite a bit.
  16. I really need some advice on vitamins. I was a huge vitamin taker before the procedure. I have at least 20 different types. and with not being able to take them regularly. I just dont feel like myself. Im sluggish and feeling more unhealthy then I ever have in my life.. so I am wondering when I can start taking them again?. if i should break the big ones in half. and when i can take the huge fish oil?.
