This is very common with WLS patients (weight loss patients) because we aren't getting all the nutrients we actually require our hair will suffer for the first 1-3 years Biotin helps and keratin complex serums shampoos etc help but either way your hairs going to thin. I had to cut my hair into a shoulder length bob to lighten the weight and that helped some. Don't waste your $$ on expensive shampoos I did and it was a waste trust me. Target and even Sally's beauty supply sales keratin treatment in single packets that are doable it has all the whey and soy hydro keratin etc. a lot of brands if you read the labels don't have but one type of keratin stay away from those they are a waste.

At the beginning I struggled so bad with Protein shakes! I mean I tried EVERYTHING! And it was ALL nasty... until I found the nectar line made by Syntrax... AMAZING! That is the only thing I can drink!

How did you make it? Did you use Water or milk? Did you add fruits? Which is your best flavor?

At first I started with the vanilla bean torte (tastes like ice cream) and I use milk but my friend uses Water and it is still good. We drive 45 mins to the nearest Vitamin shoppe to get this even though we have like 3 health and Vitamin shops in our town but they dont carry this product. I just finished my morning one now... LOL

Do you add fruits? How many ounces of milk do you add? How much Protein do each of the shakes have? Thanks for answering the other questions

I dont add fruit... I did with all the others to mask the taste of the Protein but Im sure it will taste good with fruit... Actually Im gonna try that! I use about a cup of milk to one scoop (24g of protein) plus the milk I usually count it as 30g for one shake. I can honesty same this is the only Protein Shakes I can drink. I have tried Priemer, Isopure, unjury, the one from GNC people swear by and 5 more but I cant remember the names. I spent thousands of dollars on protein during the first 3 months it was ridiculous.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
