The shedding has started....not the lbs, but the HAIR...



Recommended Posts

Ughhhh, my hair has started shedding. Hopefully since my hair is so dang thick, it won't be noticeable. Been getting in as much Protein as possible and taking Biotin 2x a day.

Any other suggestions. Has anyone used Nioxin Shampoo/Conditioner??

I have used Nioxin and found it really drying for my hair and scalp. There is another called Keranique (sp?) that I am going to try. I am pre-op and have very fine hair. Kinda worried about that...

I found a Shampoo called Honey, You're Strong by Herbal Essence. It made a difference from the first time I used it!!

I am trying to get more Protein and Biotin as well. I am a Wen girl and that seems to be helping but my hair is long. I am going to cut a few inches off to make it look fuller. :(

I love wen products and macadamia nut oil four the hair. I tend to loose it when my thyroid is off, so down the road i shouldn't freak out to much if and when i loose more.

I'm devastated with the amount of hair that I have lost. I just now started taking 6000mcg of Biotin daily and increasing my Protein intake. I had such thick hair now it's so thin. Had to cut it to my shoulders to make it look thinner. Praying it stops soon!!!!!

Ooooh Heather I have been wanting to try WEN, Do you like it? Does it make your hair feel thicker?

I use Garnier Fall fight. I lost hair from months 3-6 and then it leveled out when I got my Protein up and started using Biotin faithfully.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
