Hair loss is quite common and may not stop til a year. I would check with your doctor about the other stuff though

I was told that to prevent or slow down the Hair loss issue to make sure you are getting adequate Protein and Iron. I would take a Multivitamin with extra iron (I like Flintstones myself

) and maybe implement a high Protein Shake for a meal.

Try Biotin for Hair loss. It's a pill that melts under your tongue.

This happened to me, not just the hair loss but the massive hormonal issues...

Hair loss, well, I'm not convinced they know exactly what causes it. I paid particular attention to my Protein, Iron, Vitamins, minerals and still lost so much hair it was ridiculous. It did however stop and now my hair is very healthy and thick.

Hormones, I went and saw my OBGYN about 2 months after lapband because I was a freaking wreck. I was told that our bodies are used to being overweight and when we are overweight we produce more hormones ie estrogen, etc. Our bodies are going through a shock with the rapid loss and haven't quite gotten the message that it can slow down on the production of hormones. Excess hormones are generally stored in fat, you have less fat so they are just floating around in your system causing some craziness, lol. It does stabilize, but will take some time. It took me about 6-7 months to feel normal again. I did end up having my Dr give me some liquid Zoloft to take 2 weeks a month between ovulation and my period, that is when it was the worst for me. I did that for 4 months and haven't had to even worry about it since.

Thank you! I'm pretty stressed about my hairloss but I think I just made it worse lol, I'm defiantly gonna ask my doctor for something for my hormones. They are drivin me insane! I don't think I've ever felt this annoyed in my life and I'm a very mellow person! Thank you :)

      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.
