3 months out (just about) down 66 pounds ... Yay but literally losing my hair in handfuls. I have fine/ thin hair as it is an now there is a definite bald spot on the top of my head. Using Biotin, B12 taking in Protein and Multivitamin what else? I know sometimes it's inevitable but any other recommendations? Thanks!

I was told to up my Protein, take my Vitamins and wait it out. At six months I'm proud to announce that I have peach fuzz coming in!!!

I was about to buy a wig!!!

I just fainted!!! A BALD spot??? REALLY????? My biggest fear!!! I am vapor locked!!! Had two people who were sleeved last year tell me niacin and folic acid are helpful. No one thing seems to be THE thing that works for everyone. After reading everything possible on this subject, I have concluded that prayer is just about as effective, and certainly more reliable, than all the other recommendations combined!! I am soooooooo sorry this is happening to you!!

I'm right there with you on the Hair loss. It is definitely unnerving. Just keep reminding yourself that it is temporary. Other than the ones you've already mentioned, Iron is also important for stopping hair loss.

      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.
