Wow! Thanks for this thread; I haven't experienced any hair loss, but I've been worried that I might. Honestly, I'm fairly vain about my hair. I have almost buttlength red hair that I take very good care of. To be honest, it's been a little fear in the back of my mind... of course I'd be bald if it meant infinite health forever, so if it does happen I'm willing to deal with it.

Thanks for the information about GENESIS, I am going to look it up.

Your very welcome rozie :) I am the same about my hair. I never thought it would happen to me because of all the Protein I was getting and how thick (and typically healthy) it is, but it did anyways..I am just super relieved that it will grow back!

Fo sho on the GENESIS!... I have ridiculously bad nails that tear, break and peel without it... Once I get on it again, I can ditch the nail salons!

Thanks for all these responses. Helps to know I'm not alone. The cycle that our hair goes thru is truly amazing! I will definitely try to stay calm and of course increase the protein! Thanks everyone ;)

I couldn't agree any more with what you're saying. I'm a hair stylist for Paul Mitchell and I'm so concerned about losing my hair. Not to sound shallow and completely ridiculous.... But this is my most major concern! I know it will happen and thankfully I've got the hook-up so if I need some extensions I can take care of it haha... But you're right though, obviously I would choose baldness and good health than luscious hair and poor health.

Anyway, good luck! Here's to hoping for no Hair loss AND good health!!

      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.
