sounds like you are doing everything right. The only thing I added to your list is I use Garnier fall fight Shampoo and conditioner. Other then that it sounds like you are getting in your Protein and Biotin.< /p>

I have been taking Biotin since before surgery. I am 4 mos out and my hair is starting to thin out. I get 60-80gms of Protein in each day' date=' 64+oz of Water. I take my Vitamins and Calcium. Does anyone have some suggestions?[/quote']

Take Biotin 10,000 mcg by natrol and you can add Zinc too. My doctor said I should increase my Protein to 100 grams. Good luck

My NUT set a Protein goal of 85-100, maybe you could bump your protein?! I haven't had Hair loss issues yet but worry about it since my hair is thin to start with!

I've been told by several people, my doc included, that Hair loss in inevitable. I take Biotin too, but it can only help but will not prevent the hair loss. It happens to everyone 3-5 months post surgery. He recommended volumizing Shampoo, but also just to cope with the fact that its going to happen, but won't last forever. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Just know we're all going to go through it too :)

My doctor said the same. Things should get back to normal after 6 months.

My doc said the same also. It's from the stress of losing the weight so fast. Nothing is going to stop it but Biotin or other things might help it grow back quicker

Amazon has it, if you are a shut in like me ;) I also bought (eye roll but it works) Joan River's hair powder. It is in a compact and matches your hair color and comes with a brush, you just dab it on your scalp. Totally works. Google it. It is one of those monthly things but just order once and cancel. The brunette is very dark though!

      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!
