Hi everyone, I've noticed lately my hair is coming out a lot more than usual. I have noticed before in these forums the mention of a Vitamin to use that works, but of course i didnt pay much attention because it didnt pertain to me at the time. So I was wondering if anyone knows what I can take for it?

My doctors recommended Biotin. I'm not sure it has helped...my hair did go through a time of excessive loss about 4-6 months post op. There is now a lot of new growth which will take a year or so to make a difference.

Hair loss is not uncommon post op...don't worry.

I agree that Biotin, Multivitamins, and Protein are your two biggest weapons against Hair loss. However, I honestly don't know much they can help. I think hair loss is your body's natural defense against losing weight. It's like, holy cow, where's all this calorie rich food I am used to?!? and starts stealing nutrients from the easiest place it can find that won't be harmful to you and that's your hair! Lol.

Unfortunately there is no preventative or quick fix. Your body will shed hair under stress, rapid weight loss and malnutrition. Ensure adequate Protein as the amino acids are the building blocks to luscious locks. However, supplements like Biotin and multivits will help support Hair growth but it's not like miracle grow, it merely helps replenish depleted building blocks. Usually when things stabilize you'll see regrowth.

A combination of weight loss and all the chemicals they put into your body during surgery can play havoc on your hair. I noticed I was losing considerable hair in the months after surgery too.

I started taking 5000mcg of Biotin daily about a year ago. I also use Fruitese "Fall Fight" Shampoo and conditioner, they have Biotin in them. It took months for my hair to fully recover but the Biotin definitely helped.

For me, it's really helped. I had two surgeries less than a month apart, all while still losing weight, and because I was already taking Biotin ahead of time I haven't had any Hair loss whatsoever. Normally anytime I have surgery I have hair loss but not this time.

I think if you are having a proper diet so it will help you to grow your hairs, because when you are internally fit so it's better for you to have a healthy lifestyle.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
