  1. @@sunflowerchild Ok good to hear. I wish I had thick hair to start with but I don't. It's not Horrible yet but I put a Head wrap on before I cook. It freaks me out to think a hair might fall in the food! Gross! That's instant vomit for me if I get a hair in my mouth!
  2. @@cdenney123 Sounds like me!
  3. @@MichiganChic Oh my goodness! 8 months! I don't have that much hair to begin with. I may have to cancel the extensions and buy a wig!

  6. @@WL WARRIOR I'm not sure what actually causes it. I'm almost 4 months out and I've been getting 90+ grams of protein in since week 2. I eat 800 calories a day, never miss a vitamin including biotin since even before surgery, I drink at least 64 oz of water a day....I don't know what else I could have done?
  7. @@jenn1 Is it a lot or just a little at a time? I haven't had any clumps yet just multi stands.
  8. @@sunflowerchild So did it start out a little and get worse or all pretty much the same?
  9. @@Thinkingthinner1109 That's awesome! I was really hoping it wouldn't but unfortunately it has....
  10. My hair has finally started to shed. Nothing too horrible...yet. Just really annoying! I had a cute hair style picked out but opted to order extensions instead. I'm not upset by it, I knew it was going to happen so I'm not shocked. I've decided to look at it as my internal "fat" girl and "skinny" girl are fighting. One of them is fighting dirty and pulling hair out!! I'm betting on the skinny girl to win the fight in the end! Ha! So if you lost hair how long did it last?
  11. Eat a chocolate cookie dough or cookie n cream quest bar!! Boom! Craving over!
  12. You can still buy some and freeze them (if you have willpower to have them in your home) you can use them sparingly as a treat. I stopped using food as a treat though. I buy clothes, makeup ect... Anything not edible. That's just me though. If you don't think you will have the willpower to not eat a bunch then don't buy them. It's not worth it or buys some to give as gifts if you just want to help support.
  13. PS it sucks and it not fair!! Ok I'm done now ;(
  14. I've finally started to shed a little these last couple days. I've taken biotin since before the beginning,I drink 80+ oz of water a day and get at least 90+ grams of protein a day since week 2 post-op, and have never missed my vitamins. It's just happens I guess. I have a cute hair cut picked out in case it gets bad OR I may purchase some 260 gram hair extensions....I guess we just have to deal with it.
  15. Awe it was a nice thought. Now throw it away! Or donate it to a skinny friend! Ha!!
  16. I could only have shakes, broth, sugar free jello, and sf popsicles. It wasn't bad I made it work by drinking lots of water and making sure not to go to long without a shake. It's 99% willpower and mind control!
  17. I wore lose silky PJs and had a nice fluffy robe and slippers, I also requested a binder for my stomach which was amazing for me....I'm all about comfort!
  18. Not necessarily. The surgeons office always puts a expected date on the insurance forms. That probably won't be your date. Mine did it too. When I spoke with the insurance co they gave me the date which through me off because I had not discussed any date with my surgeon at that time. It's just a projected date to move the insurance approval along. Call your surgeons office. @@LBS15 Sorry forgot to tag you in that
