I am almost 6 months post op and I think that my Hair loss may be slowing down slightly. I have tried Nioxin and L'Oreal strengthening Shampoo (the one that JLo advertises--lol), and I think the L'Oreal shampoo may actually be helping more and it doesn't give that weird tingly feeling like Nioxin. However, I also noticed that my hair seems a bit coarser. I used to have a lot of hair but the strands themselves were fine, if that makes sense. Because I had so much it didn't really "look" fine. But now the strands seem thicker and coarser.

Anyone else?

I think all these Vitamins and Protein are making my hair thicker. Hopefully it will offset my loss some when that starts.

I'm 8 weeks out today.

My strands seem thicker in a weird way. Like sort of dry and dull. I've always been so happy with my shiny hair. I'm sure that it is temporary though.

I have a friend who had gastric bypass surgery several years ago. When her hair grew back, it came in VERY curly! I hope I stay the same. I also have fine, more silky hair. Hope it doesn't change much!

Do you know what your Iron levels are? Mine got like that with low iron, and it was a little frizzy and dull, and fragile.

      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.
