Hair Loss
Breezie, could be the anesthesia. Some people are extremely sensitive to medication and major surgeries. That was also a cause for hair loss. Rapid weight loss, anesthesia, hormonal changes... several things.

Hair Loss
I washed my hair tonight and I had ... 25 hairs or so fall out. It's getting serious... I remember this happening before but not as bad and as dramatic. It was minimal but noticeable only to me. This was when I had my little girl. The doc said that the anesthesia and pregnancy did that to my hair. Now I have to believe it's the anesthesia, the rapid weight loss and possibly hypothyroidism that's working on me now. My hypothyroidism is very borderline, 2 points away from the minimum T something..I forget.. So I am not taking meds right now.. I stopped years ago and it's done nothing to my hair. But lately, past month.. I can't come to grips with how much I'm losing. I believe it's temporary b/c it kinda happened overnight. Hope I don't lose too much. I'll just wear a cap for a few months

Lins.. I don't really know what it is but my biggest guess is that I've bumped up my workouts to ridiculousness and I'm hungry all day. Iuliz... It's damn good. You can get it at any Publix, Winn-Dixie, Kroegers.. any major grocery store. It's brownish looking.. tan maybe and boy is it god sent:)

Hair Loss
I'm hoping that the doctor diagnosis me with telogen effluvium, then that would explain alot and I can be patient with my hair coming back. I always had a head full of thick, silky hair...

Hair Loss
I'm seeing a Dermatologist next Thursday. My hair loss is very scary. I'm sure and hoping he tells me it's the rapid weight loss and yes, I am 3 months out today and my hair is seemingly coming out at the touch. I have Biotin which is just a Vitamin but I will purchase Nioxin to see what's up with that. Once I meet up with the Dermatologist next Thursday, I will then go to the beauty salon and have it all chopped off. If it's gonna come out and regrow again in a few months, I will be the one to take it off! I'm gonna do the bald thing. Like G.I. Jane. Extremist measures. *edited* Ok Ok, maybe not G.I. Jane.. but I really want it short..very short. We'll see what happens and if Doc says it will all be alright. If everything is ok, then maybe I'll just leave the hair alone for 3 more months to see if it all comes back the way it used to be prior to surgery.

Ok Pnut, 100g sounds reasonable. I can do that. Lins12, I am eating. Tooo damn much. I'm a pig man! Oh Ok, too, I failed to let you know that I use Asian Sesame Dressing with Ginger in it and it's 9 grams of fat for 2 tblspns and I probably use like 4tblspons! What else..what else... *lifts the fork....chicken breast jumps off the fork and into her mouth*

*Gigglesnorts at Paul* You are bad! I'm going to have to be innovative and bump it up on the protein. I'm practically Atkins-ish. I do however go hog wild on Broccoli and Spinich (fresh Spinich leaves for salad..bags of it) Ok, I'll wait another week and go higher on protein intake, eat more veggies and just continue with my workouts. Drink more water. Not getting in 1 gallon anymore, more like 50 - 68fl oz. I'm just ...FRUSTRATED.. Call me stubborn, pig headed, etc. but I did have this goal weight thing for late August and it is just not going to happen at this rate. I'm slowing and I expected it but.. I feel like I'm a hamster in a hamster wheel.

Wow, I don't know. I haven't had a shake in 2 days.. so I'm just having 1 can of tuna and 1 filet'd chicken breast. So maybe 45grams at most. I should bring back Isopure. Isopure just annoys me. I have to scrape with a butter knife, all the white isolated protein that accumulates at the bottom of my shaker. It concretes itself and I scrub for 10 min. Uggh. I will try to get in more protein. You are right. I'm not doing everything I should. I refuse to look at rice, bread, mashed potatoes.. any carbs. I'm scared to go near it.

ROFLMAO!!! PNUT IS A NUT! ONLY 2.5LBS? THAT'S NADA in comparison to all that wine you been chugging. I don't know guys. I think I need a fill because I'm eating like a cow. I can finish a whole breast and and entire bag of salad in 1 day. Not cool. I don't think I ever did that unbanded. My appetite is animalistic. After a workout, I charge straight for the fridge and I get this crazy look in my eyes.

I ate a whole chicken breast recently... (screams) but it was soo good! I am eating more but I'm working out like a fiend..(cept for yesterday) and I think b/c of the workouts, I'm eating more for fuel. I'm stalling. I will need a fill. I will give in next week I think.
