Omg :( Tell me it ALL grew back' date=' and it's better than ever...[/quote']

It will come back! It's temporary.. Better than ever? We shall see. I too, love my hair.. So I know it's hard to think about it thinning but its really worth it for the trade off of weight loss.

Hi Ladies,

I read an article saying that when we lose hair 2-2.5 months out its because of the anesthesia.... Hairloss due to Vitamin or protien deficiency is at month 4. Just wanted to share that!

I can say I've taken all my Vitamins, supplements and Protein and well.....

As a matter of fact I just had my blood work done

Everything's good.

But how about you other ladies are you "skimping" on your stuff?

I must say though after all the joking about it.

In the grand scheme of things? It's a small temporary price to pay :)

Mine started at 2.5 months and I'm almost out 4. I've had no problems getting in all my vits and Protein. I'm just praying it stops soon before its all gone! Lol! I do have some new tiny hairs along my hairline on my forehead and temples so that's good and gives me hope! :)

I started losing at 3 months. Im 5 months out now and its still really bad =( I hope it stops around 8 months like others have said, but I was taking Biotin a year before my surgery it just makes it grow longer, not thicker. I had really thick hair, now its so thin and others have made comments on how this it is (annoying!) lol anyway I bought Nanogen its a powder you sprinkle on your head and the fibers grab onto your hair strands so your scalp doesnt show. I like it so far =)

      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.
