My nutritionist warned me that abt three months post op Hair loss is common. I take viviscal bc i had a baby 7 1/2 months ago and then surgery so i didnt want to take any chances. I order it of Amazon. Good luck!

Is the Viviscal chewable? I still havent had surgery, but I want to prevent hairloss. Should I start taking it? Surgery is next week...

My best friend is a cosmetologist s and told me the best products for Hair loss is Bodley products. They are only sold in salons but if you can talk your hairdresser into buying it for you at the supply house it is 50% the cost in a salon. It's a Shampoo, conditioner, weekly hair mask and root foam. It's amazing but you must use it as directed. Almost every beautician I talked to said its better then Nioxin. I also take Biotin. Start this as soon as possible to prevent hair loss. I'm terrified of it since my hair is thin to begin with. Good Luck!!!

B12 Complex, get a good liquid one. You can get great sales on them. Even the elderly have Hair loss due to lack of Vitamin B. Once you start taking it you will notice a difference.

      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.
