After 4 weeks at the same weight, I have finally started moving again in weight loss. I've been trying to exercise more (mainly walking) and I am trying to reduce the high sugar index carbs and focus on complex carbs and protein. I think it has helped me to get the weight loss going again although I do think I was losing inches so I probably wasn't in a true plateau. However, my hair loss continues and after 2 months of it, I feel like I am going bald although my hair dresser told me that it is not too bad. I've been religiously taking the Biotin and I am using Revita to re-grow the hair but it doesn't stop the initial loss. I guess I am lucky that I have hair to spare. Finally, I have been feeling so good and so happy lately that I thought I could get off of my depression medication and the doctor told me how to wean myself off of it. Well, that didn't work. Apparently, the weight loss and feeling healthier does not alter your brain chemistry to the extent that it helps with other ailments like blood sugar, etc... My depression came back with a vengeance and I had to get back on my meds. I guess the WLS helps with the severity of the depression but doesn't cure it like it does with diabetes. I'm going to stay on my regular dose for another year or so and then reexamine whether I can get off of it or not. Still, this was the best decision of my life and I do not regret it for one minute!
