I was losing clumps of hair. Having always had such beautiful, long, thick, wavy hair I wanted to cry when I brushes or washed it. I currently eat very little r/t my gall bladder needing to come out. My Protein intake is in the toilet. I try and drink milk by the gallon;) cause it stays down. Anyway, I've been taking Biotin. I've tried the shampoos. Nothing is working. Then I cut my hair from just above my butt to my shoulders. And now the falling out has slowed up drastically. Im guessing taking some of the weight off the follicles has helped.

I switched from a regular Multivitamin to prenatal and my hair looks amazing. My hair is my vain pride, I wasn't about to play with it. Long, gorgeous red, thick, and ringlet curls. I love my hair! A lot of people think you can only take a prenatal before you have a baby. But if you aren't expecting, all the extra nutrients are absorbed into your hair, skin, and nails. If you read the label its a Multivitamin with a few added supplements. I went this route instead of with Biotin because it eliminates the extra med a day. Also if you take your Vitamins at bed time they absorb better.

My hair stylist told me to take prenatal Vitamins way before I had surgery because I have weak hair and nails. What brand do you use? Where did you buy them and for how much?

I was severely anemic so I've been taking prenatal Vitamins instead of Multi Vitamins since 6 weeks post op. I've have minimal hair loss and I'm no longer anemic. So I to advocate the prenatal Vitamins.< /p>

I take vitafusion prenatal. They are gummies. They taste awesome! I got them at wal mart and 1 bottle lasts 45 days and is about $10.

Prenatal Vitamins are free at a lot if pharmacies with a prescription. My surgeon wrote me a script for a year. Really helps with the cost of supplements...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
