Ok so my hair is fallllllling out, which I knew would! Luckily I have super thick hair. It's still disturbing. So why is it only hair on my head that I'm shedding! Leg hair would be awesome right about now!

Mine is falling out too! I think I might make one of those hair babies people have been posting! You must check them out! They are hilarious! I have started taking Biotin which is supposed to be great for hair and nails although I am not sure of the max dose I can take. I've seen conflicting posts. I'll have to research it more! Good luck!

my hair is too falling out.. ive been taking Biotin since before the surgery..and since it started to fall out.. I doubled my biotin..taking 20,000 mcg now..and it has slowed up some.. so about a month.. then its slowing.. so im happy bout that.. I have very long hair down to my butt.. so I was highly disturbed.. but its all worth it.. :)

Yes, it is a pill..very small (well, at least, what I buy at Walmart is small) - no need for crushing.

I dread when this hits me...I am just over a month out...I, too, have the hair to the butt...

I haven't lost any hair and am 7 months out. I rarely remember to take my Vitamins but I do eat a lot of Atkins bars (at least 1 per day) and I have used Keranique from time to time on my hair. You are supposed to use it twice a day, I use it a couple times a week. Not sure if those are relative...

      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.
