I told you all that I did go to the salon to get my hair cut. I already have fine hair. She cut off all the yuck and added some layers. Now don't get me wrong, it is thin -- for now. But it is sooooo much healthier. And I haven't noticed nearly as much loss in the shower. Or when I style. I am using cooler temps to dry and style. Basically babying my hair. But it is better. Keeping up the Protein and Vitamins and supplements and praying that it will bounce back here in a few months -- around that 8, 9, or 10 month mark that everyone is talking about. Hoping for 8 :D

I use an over the counter chewable gum mid type Vitamin, peach flavored and very tasty! I also take Calcium, B12, b1, Biotin and zink. All over the counter but good brands. On my labs I was. Low on b1 so the doc and nut told me to take that. Also added chewable Fiber gummies to help with the Constipation issue!

I'm getting too much Calcium, my doc told me to stop taking the calcium citrate about 3 months ago. This month my blood work showed I still have too much calcium, so they are doing a thyroid test next week. I'm not sure how they are connected but my family doc and surgeon both agree that I should get this scan to check it out.

Hello everyone. So I am a little sad because my hair keeps falling out a lot!!! I am in another stall again!!!! I have decided to go back to the basics like when I came home from the hospital after surgery. I also have to get my mind back in the game. A lot if training at work so that has been throwing me off my game!!!! And again the hair thing is really bothering me!!! Congrats to everyone and keep up the great work!!!

Hi there for me, my hair is also falling out. We just have to hold on to the fact from others that we won't go bald and it will grow back! Follow the food plan, take our Vitamins and keep our eye on the prize!!

      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.
