going on 4 months of hair loss, a little each time I shampoo 2xweek. using nioxin and other Protein hair products, including aveda, taking Biotin for 3 months, and meeting protein, how long does this last, at least 50% of volumne lost, and I have fine hair. not much left to work with!

try unflavored Protein powder in any liquid except Water. I didn't get the protein and I blame my hair loss on the protein insult after surgery.

because of all the fills that never got me to the green area, no significant weight loss and still being hungry. now have the sleeve, and my hunger is much less, and I've had significant weight loss 60 lbs in 6 months.

I'm still losing bits of hair each day after 2 months, started at 4 months. on Biotin 10,000 for 6 weeks, when does this stop????

noticed hair loss in brush about 4 months out. each brushing and shampoo I lose a hand full. i also have processed hair, which I'm stopping. I have fine hair but an adequate amount. how long does this last? starting taking hair,skin,and nail Vitamin 2x/day in addition to multi-vitamin. also take an Omega 3. I haven't been faithful in tracking Protein, but am adding a daily Protein Drink. any other recommendations? shampoo's etc. I'm a band to sleeve patient, did not have this with the band. losing slowly, 1-2 lbs per week. weight loss is slower when I started eating regular food. had a lot of nausea in the beginning so protein probably was low. Thanks

Sounds good if I liked liverwurst. I'm having small hamburgers, mashed potatoes, dry Cereal yogurt, milk 60 cal fruit popsicles, can't tolerate the sugar free anymore. 1 shake per day, diet gatorade, egg, toast, cottage cheese, etc. When does the strong aftertaste go away. It is with most foods. taking 1 prilosec in am.

Thank you

what are some unflavored protein powders and where did you buy???

I know the feeling. I'm 4 weeks out and have had raging nausea, on Prilosec, on soft foods and know I'm not meeting protein but am so sick of protein shakes. can't take urso for gallstone, was sick for 2 days taking 1 pill. nausea at the start of all meals. does this get better??? I have lost weight, not weighing myself yet just trying to eat daily greek yogurt, fluids, meds, so many vitamins, and real food which now tastes good but always an aftertaste.

Its nausea again, my hashtag. I'm almost 3 weeks, nausea is better, eating different small portions. I didn't think could make it past my daily nausea and sometimes pain when eating. stopped taking Prilosec, energy level is not returning as I would like. going to try mac and cheese, soft diet today. sick of the Protein shakes but they are what give me energy. when does food begin to taste good, still have bad aftertaste.

I'm about 2 weeks post op and feel ok except for nausea with certain foods, especially decaf coffee. have to take Prilosec 20 2x/day, nothing tastes good and have a bad taste in my mouth all the time. on pureed foods and taking very small amounts 3x/day. any advice on foods which are easier and hope eating gets better.

I'm 10 days post op. band removal and sleeve. rough couple of days. 2 days in hospital. no vomiting but lots of heartburn/nausea. hard to tell if hunger pains or nausea. salty foods go down better loving tomato soup. on pureed diet. Breakfast is worst, as I luv my coffee. taking Prilosec 20 30 minutes before breakfast. didn't work today,lightheaded/nausea. greek yogurt goes down ok and dry chicken soup mix. I am very sick of the Protein drinks but know that is a guaranteed protein.

thanks, sorry to say it doesn't get better, but time goes fast. slim fast chocolate or coffee I liked the best but premier had to most Protein. you should drop about 10 lbs pre-op

UGH, already lightheaded. OR is May 2, removing band and gastric sleeve. Please tell me I can eventually eat real food without reflux and of course in small portions and I will actually lose weight Band was a bust, literally, came apart, port inverted and never a green zone. Any survival tactics to get through this pre-op diet. Does the post-op diet get better??? susanh14

Have a band since 2007, no weight loss, unable to find the green zone. sleeve scheduled for 5/2 and removal. anxious to see if weight loss occurs???? hoping for no issues at band site???

do you have to stop drinking regular coffee???
