My Nutritionist suggested Biotin. I took it for several months after my surgery. It has helped. My hair has started to replenish and seems to be back to normal. It may take a year. Rapid weight loss and surgery causes the hair loss. Keep taking you multiple vitamin they help as well. Best wishes imaluckydog

Ø This is from a lack of protein in your diet. It is common after WLS. I am supposed to have 60-85 grams of protein a day, minimum!

Ø Try drinking Isopure (GNC) ….and/or having a protein shake – mix the powder w/ice instead of water and you will have a thick, tasty shake (add 1 pkg of Splenda if you need it sweeter)…and/or try Met RX’s Pure Protein Bars (6 pack @ Target) or “Pure Protein” bar – chocolate is really good! (6 pack @ Target)..and/or Met RX’s “Pure Protein Shots” – grape or cherry @ Target or Sam’s (Test tube looking containers)…and/or Myoplex (Sam’s, Walmart or Target) premixed “juice box” looking containers. ..there’s another bar that I get in a 12 pack/variety at Sam’s …it’s just called “Protein” by Premier Nutrition (it’s a little higher in calories than the other bars, so I tend to use them sparingly or as a meal replacement – very filling).

Ø If you are at the “food stage”, then always eat your protein first, in case you get full.

Ø This is just what I did…if you have any doubts, check w/your Doc/nutritionist.

I upped my protein and started taking Biotin. Hair loss has almost stopped!

Also try Nioxin shampoos and conditioners? When my ex and my mom had chemo they were told to use those and both had great results. This was in addition to Biotin.

Hi

I just wanted to know how do you get the biotin in liquid form or pills. I have only seen pills and I was told not to take pills.

Thanks
