My hair is falling out at an incredible rate. I'm at 5 months, and I have faithfully taken Protein and Vitamins. It's looking really bad. I'm feelin pretty down about it. I really don't want to wear a wig in 97 degree weather.

Mine fell out from month 3 to month 10. Six months later, it's growing back. Don't worry, you won't be bald--I got pretty thin, but no baldness!

I feel your pain and it is very depressing but we have to focus on the positve. I don't regret the surgery but the Hair loss is hard. It was coming out a lot after three months but I have noticed it has subsided. I am using nioxin and that has helped.

I bought it at style America and paid about 30.00 for the shampoo and conditioner and a topical solution. It's lasted me over three months and I use it daily.

      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.
