I've lost tons of hair but most of that is my fault since I'm not on top of taking my Multi Vitamins. I use to have hair down to my waist, I recently chopped it off to my shoulders, hopefully it will stop falling off soon..

I too have been loosing hand full of hair. I have been drinking the Protein Shakes and eating as much Protein as my body can take. I also have been more than excellent with the Vitamins. I think it's just our body reacting to the weight loss shock and malnutrition since we cant really eat. I know I personally take 3-4 bites of a lean cuisine and I am done.

Absolutely Kix03, we're all probably nowhere near what we use to eat, plus it was one of the first warnings my doctor gave me, I was just hoping it wouldn't happen to me!! Oh well what can you do, it'll get better!!

I lost about 33% of my hair. I started taking Biotin and silica and it helped my hair grow back faster, but didn't stop it from falling out. Now my hair grows so fast, it's hard to keep it colored....and straightened. LOL I stopped losing my hair around month 6 to 7. :)

Any surgery you have which requires anesthesia commonly results in hairloss due to the trauma... It isually always grows back... Just seems to take forever!

I had more Hair loss with my band and no more than usual with my sleeve. I made sure to get all my Protein and Vitamins in. I thankfully never lost handfuls. Good for me as I do not have thick hair anyways.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
