when did your hair start falling out?

how much did you lose?

when did it start growing back?

what products did you use to help?

i had surgery 7months ago & ive lost 6/8 of my hair. i used to have beautiful full thick long hair. now its very thin & ive even lost length. my hair fell out in chunks!!

i use biosil drops, Biotin pills, excessive hairloss Shampoo & conditioner & a super hair gro grease. the grease seems to be working but not fast enough lol. i was watching dr oz & he mentioned something called black currant. ill be buying those too!!! im going to overdose myself on everything possible to jump start this hair process & stop it from falling out so much! ive also upped my protein!

i also did a video on my sleeve journey vlog on youtube where i show you a chunk of hair that came out of my head!

I think all the special potions for preventing Hair loss and getting new hair to grow in are a waste of money. Companies are still looking for a "cure" for hair loss. Look at all the bald men around. If there were an answer, the airwaves would be bursting with ads about it.

Hey im 7 months out too my hair started falling out about 4 mths ago in clumps too the Dr told me to watch my protien intake because if ur not getting enough protien it causes hairloss...I started tracking my protien better I get between 90-100grms a day which may seem like a lot but id rather have more then less drink lots of Water I started taking Biotin pills and using Dr miracles tingling Shampoo and conditioner..I still get some strands falling out but nothing like before and ive gotten about 2 in of new hair growing in..hope this helps good luck :)

Were you really sick for awhile too?? Our bodies are responding to alot of stress, and if you had a leak, that didn't help matters any. My nutritionist recommended the Biotin Vitamins but I had never seen any proof that they really worked( I am in the pharmaceutical field) I wonder if they work or is my body healing and getting better nutrition? My hair starting falling out about a month ago, I am also wondering when it will stop. All the more reason to fill up on protiens instead of any carbs! And I am taking the biotin just in case it does help!

i disagree. when i was younger, my hair never grew & i had a horrible bob cut that just wouldnt grow. i began using super hair gro & it grew down to my butt within a year. huge difference. i started using it again & it seems to be growing back.

Eat avocados every day!!!

"So the reason that the avocado is such a great food to help you with stomach fat is given here in 5 main points:

It contains nearly 20 Vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients

It contains Oelic acid which helps to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood

It has amazing healing properties in general for the skin, the blood, sexual problems, skin disorders and more

It will help to increase your resting metabolic rate which will help you lose stomach fat

It tastes great on just about anything!"

Vitamins

"Vitamin deficiency can cause hair loss or hair to grow slowly. Avocados are high in vitamins B and E, which work at the cellular level to protect and strengthen hair. Vitamin B is essential for Hair growth. Vitamin E helps repair damage on the scalp, which may slow or prevent hair growing. Healthy hair grows half an inch every month. Using avocado in a conditioner or as a hair mask are the best ways to promote regular hair growth."

      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.
