I was so gonna do the same thing this morning. My brush was filled. Luckily I have/had tons of hair so I can't see the loss on my head, just on the brush.

I have the same concern!!! My hair is so thin on top. I'm thinking of trying minoxidil. I was hoping that with Biotin will help a little..... :(

Sorry molls... :(

I know it's hard I was losing a ton for a while there too. Go to the beauty supply and buy some toppic or other other brand of hair fibers they will at least make it look fuller until it starts coming back again.

Or Xfusion

I lost all my long beautiful blond hair...I loved my hair..when I came home I saw it for the first time..Everyone at the hospital kept the evidence away from me....See me now....short brown hair......Biotin and Protein is the answer..Water too as your body will use it for your weak points......

Two differences in the new hair....Less gray...don't know why and wavy ...what up with that!!!!!

Me too! I had my surgery 3 days after you. The last few days I've noticed a lot more hair coming out in the shower (we have one of those net things so it doesn't go down the drain) and then when I put my mousse in my hair and use my fingers to comb it through. I have a hair appt next Wednesday so I'll be interested in what my hairdresser has to say!

I was expecting really dry hair as that's what people told me was gonna happen, I'm only 10 days out and my hair is still as oily as it was before.. How long did it take for hair to fall out like that? I started using ovation cell therapy the week before surgery and have been using it since. Not sure if that's what's helping or not.

I haven't had the surgery yet, but have been a natural shedder my entire life. Biosil capsules have helped my hair (and my nails) tremendously!

      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.
