get your B up and your hair will stop falling out. I take liquid B12 complex and love it. I buy it from Puritans pride it is their brand. I just had my levels checked late 10 month post op and they are great. :)

This hasn't worked for me. I get a monthly B12 shot and I take a Multivitamin with Bs every day. I shed like a pine tree.

Hey lady! My hair is a big concern for me too! My hair is like yours now! So you said beta carotene but didnt list how much. Also the Biotin is that 5000 mg or MCG? I can not find anything larger then 5000mcg and that is only 5 mg total. Big I'd like to take the larger doses before anything! If at all possible could you let me know if the bottle says mg or MCG? You rock!

      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.
