Wow it's been awhile... things have been happening at a fast and furious pace.. my life has changed so much. I now weigh.. weight for it (yes the spelling is deliberate) 156kgs... That is a grand total of 33kgs from my op and 46 from my heaviest!!!!!! Can I just take a moment to jump around for joy!!! once again.. 33kgs in 4 months.. it is huge!!!!! I look great and I feel amazing. That isnt the only changes in my life. I am now in a relationship with the most amazing person and so in love. I have a new job which I start in 2 days.. so things are happening in my life and all for the better. I have noticed though in the last few days my hair has been falling out in clumps.. apparently its normal.. Taken from a very helpful blog: Gastric Bypass truth the skinny on life after weightloss surgery: "Why We Lose Hair After Weight Loss Surgery
First of all, everyone loses hair every day as part of the natural cycle of hair growth.
But after weight loss surgery, our bodies are forced to live on drastically lower amounts of calories. To compensate for the reduction, all the remaining nutrients are channeled to the organs that need them most. And our hair isn’t one of them.
So suddenly, our hair must do without the nutrients it needs to grow. And it also has to compensate for that loss. It sends more strands into “resting” phases and temporarily suspends production of new strands.
Not to mention the fact that hormones go haywire after surgery and while all that fat is being metabolized. That just doesn’t help matters.
The upshot: hair starts falling out."
So there you have it... I just need to up my protein, be good about taking my vitamins... and maybe use some hairloss shampoo...
oh well...
