hair loss?



Recommended Posts

I am 4 months PO and just had my 3 month blood work and follow up with my surgeon. My blood work came back that everything was ok except my B1 was VERY low, D was low and folic acid was borderline low. I admit that PO I had issues taking my multi Vitamin but on 12/26 I finally found one that I can tolerate and I've been taking everyday since then. My surgeon added additional B1 and D and said we would reevaluate at my 6 month check up.

For the past month or so I have been losing hair REALLY bad. I'm not talking about normal, light shedding. This is hard core "I'm surprised I'm not bald" coming out. I'm scared that my hair is going to start looking even thinner than it already is really soon if it doesn't get under control. I didn't get a chance to ask my surgeon about it yet and was wondering if anyone else had experienced anything similar and was there anything you did that helped stop it???

Hi - I haven't had my surgery yet but I've read a lot on here that Hair loss sometimes occurs around 3 months out. Everyone said that it lasts for a few months but DEFINITELY grows back. It is probably a result of the low Vitamins. I've also read that people have been taken Biotin to prevent / assist with the hair loss. Don't worry - I think it is part of the process and will grow back! (Easier said than done I know - I'm very concerned about hair loss as well!)

My NUT said high quality Vitamins and B12 can help mitigate hair loss. She shots are the best then a liquid under the tongue next best,

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
