it is scary to think of losing ones hair. you have lost a huge amount of weight. i hope that taking the vitamins deals with the Hair loss really quickly.

Honestly I never did...dec 21 2010... My hair actually became thicker and shinier. Make sure you ate taking your Vitamins and intake of Protein including Liquid Protein. So important:)

I forgot to add that I decided to take the slow turtle route with many adjustments and slower weight loss. I started at 268 in December 2010...I am 190 now... But finally in the real green zone, my hair may start getting thin now that I'm at 5.5 cc things a little harder to get through, got to concentrate on healthy Proteins I think now!

What size tablets does Biotin come in? Does it have to be crushed?

      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.
