NO, Not all my hair but a lot of it. Enough that I'm wearing wigs. No I can drink the Protein Drinks just fine. I drink the ones from costco that have 30 grams of Protein per serving.

As I understand it, taking Biotin helps with the Hair loss. I found Biotin at Costco and I usually grind it up and put it in my applesauce. Since it's a big pill, my stomach finds it a little hard to digest sometimes.

I'm taking 10,000 mcg a day of Biotin plus to many to mention other suppliments that are for hair, nails and skin. I get a least 60 grams of Protein a day. So it's not working for me. Puritan's Pride has the 10,000 mcg of Biotin small pills for cheap prices plus buy 1 get 1 free. I just think some people will lose more than others and some might not lose any at all. The wigs are working for me just fine for now anyway.

Drag, I hope things change for you soon. Where did you find the Puritan's Pride?

Nick's Mom, www.puritan.com is the web site to buy them. They are small pills very easy to swallow. This was the first time I ordered from them and I heard about it on this forum. The label says Puritan's Pride Ultra Mega Biotin 10,000 mcg. There are 50 pills in a bottle. When I bought them they were buy 1 get 2 free. They also have a Biotin Shampoo I might try.

I feel sick almost all day! So between Protein drinks I sip on Tazo Zen and that really helps!

My nausea is fine except for when I first wake up. Anyone else feel that way?

I had to use a scaloppine patch as well as zofran and phenergan to get over my nausea, but thank goodness I am good now.

      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.
