Frustrated and confused

Hair loss, especially if it is falling out in clumps, is usually stress related. Your doctor was probably right.

Sometimes the doctor DOES know what s/he is talking about, even if it's not what you want to hear.

I assure you, you are incorrect. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9714170

You didn't.

On what basis are you making this statement? You did not explain why you think this is true. I doubt eating fewer than 10 pieces of mostly veggie and fish sushi is more than 1100 calories. And the "walking" was actually running, I'm just not very fast. Both MFP and MapMyRun estimated over 400 calories burned. Again, these may overestimate somewhat, but I guarantee I burned more than 200 calories, which would be the estimated calorie burn for someone who weighs half as much as myself. As I stated further up, but you apparently didn't see, I have about 80-100lbs to lose.

Bottom line, I'm looking for constructive help, not blanket statements with no explanation, or pseudo-explanations based on assumptions.

You've received it. Rest is up to you.

Cheers and good luck!

Your diary is full of unweighted entries of calorie-dense foods and foods that appear to be made by others. I have little doubt you're eating more than you think you are - your 1100 calorie sushi meal last night could easily - easily - be off by 500 calories depending on how it was prepared.

My suggestion is to clean up your logging, so you can get a solid baseline on where you really are.

the sense we speak, she does not comprehend......

hello wall.

Bariatric surgery may cause some metabolic funkiness that none of us, however well-intentioned, may be able to identify. Best, maybe, not to go below 1,000 calories without getting your doctor's input and consent.

This kind of issue can be so frustrating. One week after I went off Depo-Provera, I started gaining weight and losing my hair. My doctor told me I was eating too much and the hair loss was from stress. I knew it was not true, and I pursued answers elsewhere. If your doc dismisses your questions, don't give up. Dig in, and find a doctor who will work with you. Good luck, and please keep us posted.

my meds are making me gain weight (close to 20 lbs in a month) and my dr tells me it isn't true. it's so frustrating... dr's don't always know what they are talking about.

You're meds aren't making you gain weight, a calorie surplus is.

wrong.
i gained 10 lbs in 3 weeks then another 10 lbs in less than a week. it would be physically impossible for me to eat enough to gain that much. the meds DO cause weight gain.
