Great pics ladies. Keep going. Anyone starting to experience hair loss?

Yes!!! Exactly 3 months out the hair starting falling out in clumps. My brother almost died in August and it was a traumatic experience- in November an December my hair was talking out like crazy...it JUST started growing back, and now it's all falling out again. Sigh. At least I know it will come back.

I'm shedding a tiny bit a couple weeks ago? But nothing significant. Thankfully.

Damn double.

Yes, my hair has started falling out. I read it would happen but now that it is I'm freaking out just a little. I have thick hair and am starting to feel and see the difference. :(

I am really proud of all of you guys. You look absolutely AMAZING and y'all's transformations are incredible!!! I love seeing the pics of you all and it inspires me so much!

I might be shedding. I don't really know because I always shed. I am not noticing anything significant at 3 1/2 months out.

UGH - my hair is falling out as well. My scalp got sunburnt this weekend! I haven't taken a lot of pictures since my surgery, but my sister snapped a picture of my niece and I the other day and posted on Facebook. My mom saw the picture and commented that she didn't think it was the most flattering since my hair wasn't done like it normally is. I explained that my hair was done, but it's normal anymore. I have lost so much that it's very thin and flat compared to what it used to be.

I am down 48 pounds since the day of surgery, and 63 pounds since my surgical consult. I'm feeling very discouraged lately. I think that I'm just dealing with some body image issues. I am having a hard time with my excess skin, and the fact that I'm loosing in my boobs, butt and gut but I don't notice it other places. I keep getting astonished looks and comments from people I haven't seen in a while, so I guess it's noticable. I just need to get my brain to catch up with my body.

I thought I wasn't losing a lot if hair either until today. Today I lost a huge clump in the shower. I'm starting to get nervous about it. My surgeon's office said the only way to combat it is to try to reach your Protein goals and take your Vitamins. I've also started using two different shampoos. One is by L'Oreal. It's called Everstrong. It's a low sulfate thickening shampoo. And the other one is a Biotin & collagen shampoo. I can't think of the name of it, but it's a purple and gold bottle. You can get them both at Walgreens, Walmart or Target.

And Niko, I can see a huge difference in your pictures! You look great!

Hey guys! I haven't stepped foot on a scale since the 24th, so I hope my wedding week and honeymoon aren't wrecking my progress! I'm going to try to post a pic of my wedding and one of my highest weight.
