  2. Hi, wondering if there is a shampoo out there that helps regrow your hair after hair loss. I take biotin and was recommended to try Tail & Mane shampoo by a friend. Any other suggestions? Thanks! P.S. Rogain is not as successful as it says to be. At this point my now thin damaged hair is pitiful and I have to get it all cut off unfortunately.
  3. HI, I have found that when I cannot sleep because of acid reflux and I am coughing and gagging that if I suck on a Halls cough drop, it all goes away! Hope this helps some of you!p
  4. I've been reading the benefits of extra vigrin coconut oil, it comes in jar that needs no refrigeration and melts easily. DO NOT MICROWAVE! I've been using coconut oil to cook with, eat a tablespoon everyday in my coffee, and use it as a moisturizer and hair condition. A little goes a long way. Google coconut oil make sure it is extra virgin cold pressed oil.

  6. Me too, same sizes and all.... I want to be a size 8 like when I was married.....here's to keep on truckin'. It does become more challenging as time goes on, but we're in this for the long haul right? Congrats to you!
  7. Ok,update! Went to see my dr for my annual check up.....only lost 3 pounds from 3 months ago visit....ugh! My dr (dr Bass) Florida, said I need to wrap my head around whether I'm hungry or just head hungry.... I have no idea what the difference is. I posted about this too today, we'll see if I can get any advice. He did schedule me to see a nutritionist in April, I have to record what I'm eating for three days and take my journal to my nutritionist.
  8. Been on a plateau for 3 months..... Dr said its normal after a year, which is what I am at. Need to increase exercise and make sure eating mostly protein....no carbs! Good luck!
  9. So I was at my annual dr visit complaining about being hungry all the time and hitting a plateau, and my dr said to convince him it was real hunger and not head hunger. I said I don't know, my stomach growls and I feel starved. He said I need to wrap my head around it because with all the protein I am getting I should not be hungry every two hours....which I am. Anyone have any answers for this? PS. Dr said it was not acid in my stomach as I would have heart burn, which I don't. Thanks!
  10. Gosh! I'd get on hotels.com right away and start looking for the cheapest hotel you can find..... Maybe a holiday inn express or something.... Good luck on all !
  11. Hi, I am a year out from surgery and on a major stall. I'm exercising for an hour week days, and having protein shakes, adding Unjury protein to everything liquid I drink, soups, crystal light, coffee, etc. however I still feel hungry most of the time. My pouch is still nice and tight because I eat a well balance small dinner every night and get full. What to do?

  13. Thanks, Little Steve ! I appreciate knowing I am not alone. I see my dr. In Febrary, perhaps he can provide an answer for us...
  14. Hi, I am on Prilosec, is that an acid reducers? I use it for heart burn. I do really try to eat protein first, that is why I am so frustrated.
  15. Hi, Title says it all.... I'm hungry all the time. Stomach growls and have gnawing feeling about every two hours, even after I drink a protein drink, or have a small meal. Stomach is still tight, I do get full fast and small portions, however the hunger returns so quickly. Effecting weight loss because I am grazing more. Still drinking a lot too, sometimes that works! Any advice? Thanks!
  16. I take OTC Prilosec and still need to take Tums if I get heartburn anyway. I also use Prelief, you take it before you eat, especially foods I know that are acidic.
  17. I was given a binder folder with all the information I could possible want when I visited my surgeon. Perhaps call your surgeons office and ask if they will supply you info. Good luck!
