Has Anyone Not Lost Hair Post Op?



Recommended Posts

Hi I am just wondering if it is possible to escape this part of the process or if I am destined to have it happen to me. If you've missed this fun portion, can you let me know what you think made the different for you?

I tried taking zinc the other day and spent the day on the lu :)

I have been getting in 65-80g protein/day and hoping to keep that up. I am only 5 wks post op.

Unfortunately, I think very few people avoid this. I religiously got at least 75 grams of Protein, took all my Multivitamins, etc. and at about 5 months out my Hair loss started. I'm lucky to have a ton of hair so it's not been horrible, but I can definitely tell. :(

So the next question would be: when does it start growing back in?

I have some thinning, but not as bad as I expected! I've been taking Biotin since 2 months post-op and I'm religious about the Protein and Water. I don't know if it's helped, or if it's just that I had thick hair to begin with.

I will bee 5 months out April 10th and so far no Hair loss.< /p>

I get 75-100 grm. Protein a day and take zinc and Biotin daily.

I am hoping I have gotten past when it falls out. I am a haordresser and can get all the fancy shampoos etc.. But hear they really don't work. I know the biotin has mad my hair grow faster..if nothing else.

      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.
