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.

      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.
