Hair Loss :-(



Recommended Posts

Luckily I haven't lost any hair that I've noticed but I go to the salon this Friday and I'm gona ask my stylist if she notices if it seems thinner. I did have a probelm with brittle dry hair and had to order a product for that. I am the world's worst about taking my Vitamins and Biotin which is for hair and nails, take that. Any multi Vitamin will do, mine are Gummy fruit flavor but there are ones out there specifically for bariatric patients, just google them. But biotin is for your hair. I'm down 45 lbs since June. Not quite as good as you! :( but I will get there. Also make sure you are getting your Protein in daily. Good luck.

i had surgery in june and around end of month 2 to about 4... i noticed more and more hair in the tub around the drain..i just passed month 5 and its def let up...i take my Vitamins and i eat alot of Protein. i think that has helped me... (my surgeon doesnt hold alot of credit in the Biotin supplements) but if it works for you, that is what matters.

I'm three years out almost and still lose hair. I take Biotin and it has helped some but not much. I think it all depends and trust me my hair is already thin lol so it makes me sad to see how much I really lose.

      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.
