Hmmm, i'm going to have to look into some of this as well. I'm nervous about adding in Iron as I've had issues with it before (digestive issues... not fun). My mom visited me a few weeks ago and she noticed right away. I hadn't. I have always lost a lot, saying while i'm brushing my hair or showering etc, but I guess it isn't growing back like it used to.

I was worried at first because my Protein wasn't very high... I was barely meeting my minimums. I switched my Protein shake though to one that is higher protein (but tastes nasty lol) and been more careful. It hasn't been very long so I don't know if it has helped or not.

How expensive is that Shampoo and do you have to use it every time or could you use say ever other time you washed your hair?

good question!! how do you use this shampoo?? and how much?? but if they sell it at Walmart or cvs must not be tooo expensive?

I just a 3 piece set yesterday at Walmart and it was 42.99 (so a lot higher than what I normally pay for Shampoo sets)

The set has a scalp sunblock, shampoo and conditioner type treatment. Next time I am just going to buy the shampoo and conditioner individually - I rarely go out in the sun to use the sunblock lol but I will use it for the next 30 days and see what it does.

I am hoping by starting approx a month before surgery I can counter the loss. Box says you should notice a difference in 30 days.

o.k I am in. I am going to buy it too. I normally buy Shampoo and conditoin by Ion at Sally's keratin treatment, total I pay is approx 20.00 so 20 will be worth it, lol.. (urgh... i am so expensive, lol)

I started out using the Shampoo and conditioner everyday. Now I use it a couple of times a week. The stuff goes a long way. It does not sudds up like most shampoos. They told me to start out using about a dime size amount. I have really long and thick heavy hair, so I use about a quarter size amount. My bottles were 16.95 and 20.95. I am still using the same bottles I bought in December. Hope that helps!

Ok just a little fact. I was watching Dr. Oz last week and the average person loses about 100 strands a day. So if you see like a handful then I would be concerned otherwise it is normal to lose some. Hope this helps.

JG, if you have an Ulta in your area, they sell Nioxin as well. It works for a lor of people but not everyone. Hope you're one of them!

I bought their 3 piece set and used it for the month before surgery - my hair looks no different than it did with my other Shampoo even though the package said it would LOL. So I am going back to my cheaper shampoo and will just keep my protien intake up and take Biotin and hope for the best!!!

Hope it works for the rest of u!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
