I take all my Vitamins, bariatric multi, 5000mcb of Biotin, super Omega, and i get all of my Protein in and at just over 2 months it started coming out. At 3 months by the hands full. I had really thick hair so maybe that's why it seemed so bad. I ended up cutting it in a pixie. I am now just over six months post op and it is still coming out just not as bad hopefully soon it will stop. But hey it is growing and already new hair coming in! So worth it! I would have shaved my head if that's what it took to drop 100+ lbs!!! Life goes on! GOD BLESS US ALL!

Bariatric Advantage brand Multivitamin, puritain's pride brand Calcium citrate, puritain's pride brand probiotic and also puritain's pride brand salmon oil. Also I ALWAYS get my full Protein in ... I've been getting 70-90 grams of Protein in since I was one week out and never have a problem in that department.

I also lost hair when I had my gallbladder out. For some people it's just an aftereffect of the trauma of surgery.

I play soccer, swim laps at least 2 days a week (I'm training for a 2.4 mile lake swim in October), and I just started couch to 10k.

And as for Vitamins... I take a prenatal, Omega 3 6 9, Biotin, and B12.< /p>

OMG! I never noticed chunks, but wads of it were in the shower everyday oh and all over the house!

:(.

It does stop though and gets better.. Hang in there. If you need too go buy some hair fibers like topix to make it look fuller.

Just to be clear.......they mean hair loss from your head. Just back from a beach vacation and the old bikini line was - uh - not affected by VSG Hair loss.< /div>

Ditto that!

What beach did you go to? Ocean or Great Lake?

      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.
