Hair loss post op vs. after childbirth? More, less, same?



Recommended Posts

I keep seeing threads on Hair loss and I know it is to be expected. Just curious how it compared to hair loss after having a baby.

Thx!!

After my first son, I lost a ton of hair. I have super thick hair and it thinned a lot!

After my second child I had the sleeve two months later so I thought I was doomed! But with the Vitamins and Protein overload, my hair is growing just as fast as it's falling out. So, yes it's falling out but not thinning. Now I just had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago and I hope my hair stays thick!

I was worried but I actually like my hair more at the moment. I have ALOT of thick hair and it helped thin it some. After my kids my hair almost changed textures. I would say, for me, it was a similar Hair loss though. My loss seemed to come on earlier than what most people report here. I'm ten weeks tomorrow and I've already lost a ton of hair and I get my daily Protein in, almost 80g a day and take my Vitamins.< /p>

      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.
