hi girls wanted to ask did any of your hair thin mine seems to of thinned a bit was wondering what anyone took to help thanks girls and boys lol

I take Biotin caps 5000mgs my hair has thinned a lot, My surgeon said it is an effect of rapid weight loss or long term weight loss, i eat enough Protein so i know its not that and my age of 57 is against me too, the Biotin really helps tho, it may not stop you getting thinner but it stimulates regrowth, u get nice long eyelashes too :) i get mine from Amazon. Your hair normaally recovers expecially once you hit maintenance mode so dont panic too much ..

I had a similar issue. End if Jan 2012 had 2ml defill acid reflux improved immediately. I have been really careful with my hair but it was thin & lank good indicator i wasn't getting enough nutrition. Since defill huge improvement. My hairdresser could feel where it was thicker nearer the roots due to improved nutrition so chopped off the rubbish.

Planning to go for a 0.5ml fill as i have gained weight since defill so need to lose 11lbs!

Used body shop volumising Shampoo & conditioner for a while. Now normal shampoo again. Taking mult vits etc plus spatone.

Take care everyone

2 weeks to the day folks so excited!!! Just a quick question I've gone for the package with airport transfers! Did any body else get the transfers. If so where did you meet the taxi? Was there somebody waiting as you came through arrivals?

I have also heard Biotin is also good, some people have whey Protein to check there protein in take is good, and just make sure you get lots of b Vitamins. I also heard that iodine is meant to be good because sometimes losing hair is to do with low thyroid function have you had your checked out by your GP?

I need a kick up the arse! chocolate and wine are my downfall too. When nothing else goes down they still will. Will start again from now. Need willpower. And hi to freckles Et al. My app on iPhone not so good.

This is so true for me too. I could live off chocolate and wine! I think I am going to have to totally ban myself from both of them.

it seems that taking Vitamins are important during the whole process! i think i look for a slimming shake that contains them at the same time. Anyway I started to lose weight and don't feel that hungry at the moment so I am still glad that i done it! There was no way I was going to do it on my own I been trying to lose weight for years.

well done mini for starting this journey , you have a while to your wedding, I bet your very excited about losing the weight for it? This has been the best thing I have done for myself , the weight has come off slowly and steady and what i have managed has stayed off.I don't bother with the gym i walk my dog every day instead. I brought him about 4 years ago so that he guilt trips me into walking him.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
