IT HAS BEGUN *ominous music*



Recommended Posts

The Hair loss has officially begun. Ugh. Luckily I have VERY thick hair and can spare some.

So, do any of you long-term folks know how long I can expect this to go on? Does it keep happening throughout the weight loss period, or does it stop after a little while?

Just curious. I knew it was going to happen so it's not a shock, thankfully. I just want to try and gauge the duration.

Thanks for any help y'all can provide!

Hi there-

Mine started in the 4th month. It started out pretty bad, but tapered down after a few weeks. It has been 2 months and I still notice hair on my shirt, but not nearly as much. I also have uber-thick hair so I didn't really notice it in the way my hair looks but other folks have had terrible problems with the fall out. I also got a really short haircut, I think that helps with how the thinner hair looks. The shorter hair also doesn't require as much styling so I fee like I am stressing the hair out less.

I am not using any special products / supplements / shampoos. I try to only wash my hair every 2nd or 3rd day. I don't blow dry. I do use a straighteining Iron twice a week.

I think the experience is unique to each person, but I wish you the best!

Oh dear....we were sleeved on the same day, so I guess I should brace myself. The difference is I DON'T have thick hair. I have to wear a hairpiece as it is. I'm afraid I'll end up in a wig eventually. :(

      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.

      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...

        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.
