My multi Vitamin has about 800mcg, but I also take a Biotin supplement daily that has 10,000 mcg. . .so I guess about 10,800 mcg.

5 mg daily, I started after much Hair loss, about 9 mos after surgery. Now my hair is thick & grown back. You can find teensy easy capsules for little $ at swansonvitamins.com. They have great products at lower prices.

Where does everyone get their Biotin? Are you all taking chewable or gummies?

I got mine through Swanson Vitamins online. Chewable.

Once hair has thinned quite a bit how long does it take to come back. I have been taking Biotin, but just recently started taking at a higher dose. I guess I wasn't taking enough. I also increased my Protein

I take 5000 too. They are lozenges so I can suck on them. Got them at Whole Foods. Solaray I think is the brand.

      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.
