Today I went and bought the Shampoo thats suppose to help with loosing my hair. That was the last thing I needed on my list to get.

I'm not nervous about the surgery I've had 4 csections and went threw tbe recovery of tje last two alone. The nurse told me I'll be fine! But i am a single mother of 4 with no help. My friends all live too far to help and my family isn't much help either. Kinda feel like I'm going threw this alone and im more worried about what I'm gonna cook for my kids after surgery....

The Shampoo I got was from Sally Beauty Supply and its called Nutri-Ox. If you can't get that one I know some people have bought the Garnier with Biotin in it and its cheaper but they say its not as strong. Not sure if money was a factor in your choice but just a heads up.

I just go the shampoo and was gonna get the conditioner but they were out of the one for color hair. I tried it last night even though I haven't had surgery yet(next Tuesday) I started now to get a head start and maybe I won't loose so much hair

Thanks! I'm going to look for it. The nurse told me its the not taking the Vitamins that makes people loose hair. So I'm gonna be ontop of that since my hair is allready thin :-(

That's what they told me too ...that losing hair is due to not taking the Vitamins & getting enough Protein in. However, if the Shampoo works I'm all for it!

      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.
