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...

      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.
