Is it not bad enough that I'm losing hair like crazy but now I'm losing eye lashes as well. I've uped my Protein, even added a Protein Shake to my diet, I take Biotin, I'm just at a loss. 1 yr and 1 month post op.

I'm so sorry. I had it really bad, too! Mine was mostly around the 1-year mark and then it tapered off. It does stop after a while. My hair and brows and lashes did grow back (slowly). Protein wasn't a problem with my diet. It was just the fast extreme weight loss, I think. I did everything... protein, Vitamins, Biotin, you name it. There is no 100% prevention or fix for it. Hang in there. It will get better!!

I began taking prenatal Vitamins along with Biotin which helped considerably! One year post op and that has worked well for me! Good luck!

Sorry to hear that. If you don't mind sharing, what do you take Biotin for? Is losing hair a side affect of the medication?

How much Biotin are you taking daily? I took around 6000 mcg and it helped quite a bit. Make sure you're not suffering from malnutrition first and foremost, though.

I'm going through the same thing, My hair was already fine. so I wear hair pieces when I have to look nice. Taking all my Vitamins. I hate combing my hair after washing it. Looking into buying a wig that has same cut as mine.

I take 5000 mcg of Biotin and I have plenty of Protein. My dr just shrugs it off too Joy. My PCP mentioned malnutrition but didn't go any further with it. I'm at the end of my rope is all I know. I'm sad.

      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?

      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.
