Are you getting your total Protein in daily? that is the #1 key in preventing Hair loss. Also my surgeon has me on Biotin. I am 6 months post op and have very fine thin hair to begin with and cannot afford to loose any more - LOL. I get a minimum of 64 grams of protein daily and never miss a day without protein or biotin. I have not had any hair loss yet.

I did suffer from Hair loss. Up the Protein, take Biotin and I also use garnier fall fight Shampoo and conditioner.

What do you eat/drink to get that much protein in daily. I'm struggling! They definitely think my hair will start to fall out in the next couple months. =(

Like it or not I most days start with a Protein shake so I immediately get 34 grams in....and mostly meats, cheeses, yogurt with Protein powder added through the day. Dry roasted edamane is a good snack too....14 grams of Protein in 1/4 cup serving.

Never had edamame. I've heard a lot of people talk about it. What does it taste like?

Kinda like dry roasted peanuts...its good! Very crunchy. It feels me up extremely quickly....its not often that I can actually eat the whole 1/4 cup. My husband loves them too and he had never tasted either until after I had surgery.

I will be honest. I am not eating enough of Protein. I have got to get me some Proteins shakes also. I hate meat now, but I am getting better about eating it.

Almost 35 pounds. That includes 15 pre-op. I'll probably lose a lot in the next couple of weeks. They put me back on strict liquids for two weeks =(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
