I take 5000 mg a day but I am still pre op so I am just trying to build it up in my system hopeing it will work

Mmmmm interesting...I was looking over notes from my options class and I wrote down 5000 mcg Biotin. I bet I'm supposed to be taking that amount now. I emailed one of the instructors, I hope to hear back from them soon. Thanks!

I started taking Biotin for almost a year now. I stopped for a couple of months, but have been back on it strong since June. I also take prenatal Vitamins, they told that would help with the hair too. Whether or not that is right I have not idea, but I take them anyway. lol

I take 5,000 mcg per day in one capsule, but there is more in my multi and more in my hair skin and nails Vitamin. I hate to say it, but all of this does nothing. I think I just have expensive pee. My hair fell out when I had band surgery and has never recovered when I had revision surgery. I have new hair coming in, but it's still falling out!

Ok let me ask you this, are you taking in all of your protein:confused1: on top of taking the Biotin?

Yes, I eat over 100 grams of Protein per day. My band doctor really stresses the importance of 100 grams of protein per day so I got used to that after I got the band. It's not hard at all to get 100 grams in, since I like my Protein Shakes and Protein Bars, and I eat protein with every meal.

      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.
