I'm 2 months out and haven't lost a bit. I think the key is making sure you get all of the Protein recommended. Those that have lost hair that I've talked to said they couldn't stomach protein. It's essential!

It didn't hit me till around the three month mark. I get in all my Protein and take Biotin and I am still loosing my hair. I was told to expect to loose it for 6-8 weeks so I am hopefully I only have two weeks left. I don't loose a ton at once, mostly with hair washing and then a hand full of strands here and there. I notice that my hair is thinner but not patchy or anything like.

You can do everything right (Vitamins Protein etc)

And it will still happen to most of us I started at four months and it was pretty scary!

Oh I know it was in my pre op paper work, I had to sign a document stating that I understood this.

That's what God made those awesome wigs for! I plan on cutting most of mine off when I get to my goal weight anyway. A whole new look. And, with wigs, I can have fun with lots of alter-egos. I bet my husband will like that, too! ;)

I'm stomaching protein just well, 3 months out & my hair is falling out by the gobs. Taking all my Vitamins, b12s, bio tins since week 1. It's just happens regardless (to most).

Mine was about the same.... i have thin hair anyway... but i noticed i was shedding worse then a long haired dog for about 2 to 3 months.... it started about 3 months out for me and lasted about 2 or 3 months I thought It wasnt going to happen since it took 3 months But No one notices except my BF that was going around finding hair on the couch, shower! and floors lol!!!

it's really not that bad....... my profile picture is about the time I noticed the hairloss the most...... just remember, it is temporary! My hair is growing great now and I am at 9 months.

      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.
