The Hair loss will slow once you up your Protein intake. Also try Biotin. You can find it at Walmart or a pharmacy. I take one in the am and pm. You have to think you didn't go this whole process to not be successful. You have to motivate yourself. It's hard to go thru this surgery. All the preop stuff is not easy or cheap. Try to aim for a walk a few days a week. It will get better. Your averaging almost 4 lbs a week. That's great.

Thanks Jl, going to try adding Biotin to my Vitamin regimen

Hi there. Today is my one month surgerversary. Im down 22lbs but I also feel stuck too.Not sure if its because I'm trying new foods but Im thinking about going back to just liquids for like two weeks to see if that helps. Will also increase my workouts to about 5x per week. Hope this helps.

      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?

      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.
