At nine months I am still losing hair, my guess is around 1/4-1/3rd of my hair gone so far. Its slowing down a bit, but has not anywhere near stopped. It is growing back...when I hold back my bangs I see a thick row of 1/2 to 1 inch long hair growing in.... my hair is down to my waist, so I guess I need to cut some off... it looks so thin at the ends, and the new growth wont catch up for years.....

Here I thought I had dodged the Hair loss bullet but at about 4-5 months out I REALLY noticed it coming out in my hair brush. Even when I straighten my hair there's a ton of it in the sink! Not fun!

I started taking prenatal Vitamins and Biotin religiously maybe a couple months ago and haven't noticed a whole lot of progress but I think I'm just gonna cut about 6 inches off to about shoulder length and just deal with it. From what I've heard from everyone on here,it won't last forever and losing 95lbs in 6 months so far has been totally worth it. (40lbs to go but stalling a bit).

As long as I don't end up looking like my dad with bald on top and a ponytail in the back, I'll be fine!! hahahaha!

      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.
