I'm 5 months out and getting in my Vitamins and Protein. My hair seems to be falling out at warp speed. Anyone else have this? I'm going to be bald on top if this continues.

Mine is too and I think are surgery dates are were very close. I'm really trying not to stress about it but I get so much conflicting advice I'm not sure what to do to make it stop!

Losing my hair was my #1 concern, my surgeon guaranteed me that if I took my minimum 64 gr. of Protein and took my Biotin my hair would not fall out. I'm six months post op today and so far so good. Some people who stop drinking their protein "think" they are getting enough protein but they really are not unless you caculate all your protein you eat. If you are infact getting all your protein then I would increase. What amount of protein are you getting daily?

Now my Protein fluctuates between 70 - 80 grams per day. I may have to start with the Biotin and zinc. I just hate taking more pills.< /p>

I take the hair, skin and nails Vitamins plus over 75G Protein (including the shake) daily and my Multivitamin and use Nioxin Shampoo as well. Do you think the hair, skin and nail vitamins is good enough in getting in the Biotin and zinc or do I need to buy those and take them instead? This is so frustrating, to have to worry about another thing, but we knew it was a possibility but ugh!!

      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.
