Hi ladies! I know ive seen threads about this before, but now that I want one, i cant find any!

Im 3 1/2 weeks post-op and noticed in tonights shower that i pulled out gobs of hair while washing. I have lots of really thick long hair, so its typical I lose a lot in the shower but tonight was about twice the typical amount.

How soon did any of you start noticing some Hair loss, and how long before you noticed an end to it (if ever?)

You will notice more hair in the shower from now on. This is normal. Make sure you are taking your Multivitamins and getting all your Protein in. Don't worry, you won't go bald. If you starting going bald or getting bald spots you need to see your doc asap! Your hair will thin some because of the surgery.

hair can be lost to improper care and damage. Bathing is one of the routine activities that can lead to normal hair loss for an individual. However, some people start experiencing more hairs in the drain after finishing the bath. Some parts of the world have hard Water supply and this can lead to enhanced rate of Hair loss among people living in these areas. :thumbup:

I was experiencing a lot of hair loss and I started taking Biotin in addition to making sure I get my Protein and Multivitamin and I think (hope) it has slowed down some. I was freaking out when I first noticed it because I have always had really thick hair.

I would recommend getting Biotin supplements and I think there is something called Nioxin you can try from beauty supply stores. I'm still waiting on my soon-to-be niece to get me some.

I was having Hair loss and started taking hair skin and nails it stopped but also if you are not eating enough Protein that will cause hair loss big time. If your not getting it enough in food you need to supplement with Protein Shakes I would suggest GNC protein powder with whey isolates not for body building people get that wrong we dont want to build muscle we just need the protein.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
