I am in the same boat. I had surgery on June 22nd and am losing my hair like crazy mad. Its horrible. I called my nut and she said to make sure I am getting in all my Vitamins and plenty of Protein and to take Biotin. Hopefully it helps. My hair is falling out my the handful

@Thinside I don't use powder I use GNC ready made and just use it like a Creamer. Tastes really good. I also have used the Adkins Mocha before but doesn't have as many grams of Protein.

I add mocha flavored Protein Drink to black coffee.< /p>

@Tssiemer1 WHEN I GO OUT I WILL TAKE A PACK OF CYRSTAL LIGHT WITH ME AND ADD IT TO THE Water. IVE NEVER HAD ANYONE LOOK AT ME FUNNY OR SAY ANYTHING. iVE ALSO SEEN A LADY I WORK WITH ORDER Water AND ABOUT 6 LEMON PIECES ADD SPLENDA AND MAKE HER OWN VERSION OF LEMONAID . I DO NOT DRINK WHILE I EAT BUT I DO GO TO RESTAURANTS AND NOT EAT ONLY DRINK. ( LIKE WHEN OTHERS ARE HUNGRY BUT I AM NOT. ) AND ITS NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING OTHER THAN WATER TO DRINK.

@@D. Kennedy I could not do the Protein Shakes either. I found Isopure is the best for me. It has 40 grams of Protein per bottle. I pure a little in a glass of ice let it melt some and that helps the taste.

THE 3 WEEK STALL SEEMS TO JUST BE SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS BUT YES IF YOU INCREASE YOUR CALORIES SOME IT SHOULD HELP. YOUR BODY GETS USE TO ONLY HAVING 600 CALORIES SO IT STARTS TO TRY AND STORE THEM. IF YOU GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE IT SHOULD START BURNING THEM AGAIN AND YOU SHOULD START LOSING AGAIN.

GNC has a blue raspberry one that sounds good so im gonna try it after work. I have let the green apple sit in ice and melt a little so its cold and watered down it makes it a little more drinkable.

oh yeah, they are 5 dollars a bottle.

I wanted to say thanks a bunch for the isopure suggestion. This drink is awesome and has helped me out so much. I find myself craving them if I go a day or two without it. And my nails are growing back and my hair has stopped falling out so that is awesome.

I have found that ice makes me really happy.

I HAD THAT PROBLEM AND REALLY BAD SIDE PAIN. TURNS OUT IT WAS MY GALLBLADDER THAT WAS CAUSING EVERYTHING. THE ONLY THING I COULD HAVE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS WERE smoothies AND THEY SEEMED
TO HELP A LOT.

I know you said someone who has used them and I have not. But Garmin has swim watches. That's actually what they are made for so you might wanna look into them.

If you work out like a warrior then it probably has a lot to do with you are losing fat and gaining muscles. Muscles weigh a lot so they slow the process of the number on the scale going down but speed up the process of us having rockin bodies. I chose not to step on the evil scale until doctors apts. I do however measure myself every other day. That way I can see it is working I am losing inches. And that to me is the most important part. I had a friend in school who weighed about 15 pounds less than me was the same height and wore a size bigger than me. Its just how are bodies are. I try and tell myself your weight isn't as important as your pants size. I would love to weigh 145 but if I am 155 in a size 8 I am gonna be happy. so the size 8 is my goal not the 145.
but yes I understand where you are coming from. I went to the doctor today and am only down 4 more pounds was hoping for more.

i will have to try that. You know it is weird and so much has changed in just 2 months.
i am down right at 40 pounds but i cant see it at all. And i get in my head sometimes. Its like if Im still gonna be fat why cant I have that beer or coke or even Water. And yes I know... it takes time and 40 pounds is a lot and blah blah blah. But i still get i my own head. Dang me. lol.
i have yet to decide if I am happy with my choice to have the surgery. I have been through a lot with this these last 2 months so if the clock were to turn back right this second and i could remember this i would not do it again. But i know in a couple months I will have forgot and all the pain and the sickness and be skinny (or closer to) and be like heck yeah sign me up.

I have had many ups and downs after this surgery. Was completely sick for the first couple weeks then on week 5 had my gallbladder taken out. could not eat for a week after that. My hair is was falling out and my nails were breaking off. Now I am where I can eat and drink and take Vitamins like I am suppose to. So hopefully all of that will get better. But the not being able to drink while you eat is freaking killing me. I am one who chokes very easy and I would take a sip of drink (Water, tea, whatever) anytime I ate anything. Now I can not drink anything while I eat and I can not stand it. And yes I knew this before the surgery and I knew this would be my biggest problem but I just wanted to vent for a second so there I did it.
And another thing............. how is it anyone else's business at the restaurant if I do not have a drink or if Im taking small bites and then do not eat but 3 bites of my food. Hey strange dude that I do not know. You did not pay for my food I did. If I wanna only take 3 bites then that's what Ill do. (I did not waste it, I did give to hubby)

I wasnt snacking cause I felt like that means im eating to much but I was told I needed t snack throughout the day because im not getting enough of what I need. (I can only take 2 bites at a time)

I did the same thing 2 weeks after my surgery. I decided I would only weigh in when I go to the doctor other than that my weight is none of my business right now.
