I know there are THOUSANDS of Hair loss questions on this site. But I am wondering who has not experienced hair loss. I am almost 4 months post-op and have not experienced noticable hair loss. Yet, I worry every day that today will be the day that my hair starts to fall out. At what point should I stop stressing about this?

On a side note, I am extremly pleased with my weight loss results. Just still concerned about the hair loss possibility.

I thought it would not happen to me after 3 months. In last week, it now is coming out and showing up on my iPad screen :) easy to not miss it on the bright screen. Now when I tug on it about 10 rooted hairs come out, seriously thinking about a short cut during this Hair loss phase...

Excellent question. Thanks for asking because I am very interested in the answers. I am two and a half months post surgery and have noticed more Hair loss than normal, and am wondering when it will stop???

I lost almost 40 before surgery, and I'm going on three months from surgery. I haven't had any Hair loss yet, knock on wood. I'm taking plenty of Protein and extra zinc, in addition to some Biotin and Aveda Invati Shampoo and conditioner a few times a week.

      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.
