I have the same thing. I wish the Hair loss would stop, and my scalp weren't so sensitive.

Do u wear your hair back in a pony tail?? Bc that could be another reason as to why

No I make it a point not to. It literally feels like I banged my head and it's bruised. My husband yells that my hair is EVERYWHERE, it's even woven into his uniform lol

I knew the hair falling out was part of the game, but this tender scalp is well tender!

My hair is falling out so bad. I hate even combing it. It is everywhere as well. The dog and I are seeing who can shed the most and I am winning. :(

Just 2 weeks ago i was going through the same thing. Major tenderness in scalp with scaps. This was due to the major amounts of hair falling out like Water during the shower, then right after shower when i was brushing it then through out the day when i would tug it. Ive always had fine hair and not much hair to begin with so this was a huge problem for me, it was falling at a crazy y rate and in just 1 month think i lost like half my hair. It shows big time on the front and sides.

Since i was sleeved back in Dec, ive drank like 5000mg of Biotin daily, then two weeks ago (after crying my ass off seeing my scalp) i bought these pills called Hair, Skin & Nails. The directions are to drink 1 tablet 3x a day. A drink one after Breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Well this week is the 3rd week and i am starting to see difference. To start with, no more tenderness or scabs and less hair feel out in the shower and during brushing. This week i was even able to blow dry my hair and not much came out. Also when i tug it during the day, about 3-4 strands come out, compared to the bulks that came out before.

I hope i am not jinxing myself for talking too soon but i think these pills are working. Give them a try ASAP. Heres the pic. If you try them f/u with me for results.

      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.
