Congratulations!!!! yeah!!!!! You have to feel great about your accomplishment, good for you!!!!

hair loss... I am almost at 6 months out and I have been very, very faithful to my Protein intake, always exceeding daily goal for requirement. I also take Biotin which is from the B Vitamin family... I bought easy to swallow gel tabs over the net, 5,000 mg - I take 2 daily and have yet to notice any difference in hair loss... my skin and nails are fabulous!!! I actually wear finger nail polish now cause my nails are growing like crazy!

Good luck and keep going!!!

I guess I live under a rock! What is Biotin? Do I get that over the counter? I will be honest, I haven't taken Protein shakes in about a month!!! I did however purchase a Protein powder supplement that sprinkles over food. It's just too much for me, bleh... today I did have a Protein shake for Breakfast.

anyways.. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE ENCOURAGING WORDS!!! CAN'T WAIT TO POST ANOTHER WOOHOO POST... REACHING MY 2ND GOAL OF 175LBS!!!!

Hi there, Biotin is from the "B" vitiman's family - you can purchase it anywhere Walgreens, any pharmacy or any store that sells vitimans. I got mine over the internet because I wanted small gel caps that are easy to swallow but with high dose: 5000 mcg.. then I found the same bottle at Meijers! So now I just get it there... I take 2 5000 mcg after my mid morning snack and 2 more after my nitetime meal. For me it works, my hair is great and evey my stylist asked me what am I doing different with my hair she noticed it!!! So no losing hair yet and I am almost 6 months out... OH, at Meijers the bottle is $10.29 for 60 small gel caps 5000mcg

      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.
