Anyone here not lose tons of hair? I'm a 32 yet old male, and I've been growing my hair for the past year. My NUT and Dr told me I shouldn't lose lots of hair. I get all my Vitamins and Proteins, but I'm starting to worry about my hair! I don't want to have to start the growing process all over! Lol! I also take Biotin daily.

I'm having the same problem. My hair was one of my trade marks and at 1st it was a lil at a time and over the last 2months it has gotten ridiculous to the point where I cut my hair low and still it was not helping so recently I just chopped it all off.

Most people lose about a third of their hair after WLS. The good news is that for almost everyone, it grows back.

I haven't lost any hair yet and I'm almost 5 1/2 months post op. I get in my Protein, Vitamins, Water, and carbs. Maybe it will start some day but it hasn't yet. I also don't take Biotin but it is in my Vitamin that I take about every other day. My weight loss hasn't been super fast either, so maybe that's why.

      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.
