Things I used to do almost obsessively prior to surgery that don't do anymore:

Watch My 600 lbs life while eating dinner (seems sad and voyeuristic now), eat popcorn at the movies (want to/scared to/won't) Pinterest SciFi themes, research building a tiny home , drink seltzer Water.

What about you?

I've read a few people say this helped with Hair loss prevention but they don't mention how much they take. Any advice? Does it interact with any other Vitamins or minerals? I take my multi in the beginning of the day with my Vitamin D. Can I take it then? Have you had any experience with side effects?

LLysine is an essential amino acid, the recommended amount on the bottle I buy is 1000mg per day ask your team about interactions but I believe there are not any. I read research that said the typical diet is lacking in this AA anyway and I also researched Telogen Effluvium and WLS/ hair loss/ hair regrowth and the medical journals I came across had studies that saw promising results when it was included. Google it, actually I placed the links in another thread, hair loss by silly kitty, there are links to several different studies with different vitamin regimens.

No major loss for me.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Why did/do so many people watch my 600 lb life? Blah

It's like a traffic accident, you slow down and "rubberneck" . Oh you know you shouldn't, somebody just got injured maybe even killed, but human nature being what it is, you still watch. I suspect, also, if people watch they can't say to themselves " See I'm not THAT big!" I can handle things better than that" I wouldn't let a doctor talk that way to me, let a doctor act that way towards me!" Yeah a sense of superiority.And maybe as an appetite suppressant? Sometimes seeing how badly they wobble when they walk, it kills your appetite.

I no longer enjoy putting myself last, narcissistic people, drinking liquor, buying snacks for everyone and Winter

(Popcorn, I still miss you a little)

Love this post.

I'm day 3 post o.p.

* i used to eat huge amounts of desserts watching Biggest Loser

* 60o lb life, still a go-to, but now pay closer attention to the surgery and recovery

* My favorite trip was to the grocery store. I certainly ate my emotions and tried to bake everyone happy.

* I spent so much time, money, fat at fast food. I would actually justify a cheeseburger and fries as part of a healthy diet. Then drive through the next set of arches for a frappe and pie.
