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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
