Ok so I took some pics tonight after my mini melt down. This is some of the hair I've lost today. This was just tonight from my shower.

Hair lost from washing my hair

Just brushing my hair afterwards

This is only a fraction I lose. Is this more than normal? Idk. I just now my hair looks alot thinner.

Omg! That is alot from only one shower! I am so hoping this wont happen tk me! I was telling my 18 year old daughter about this today and she said, " why would u even have the surgery knowing that could happen??!!" She loves her hair- can you tell?? ;)

Hope it stops for you soo ! :(

I don't think my husband quiet believed me. I took pics and he was shocked. I also showed him later that night more that came out. I've stopped washing my hair often to try to prevent the extra loss. I haven't used heat such as a dryer or flat Iron in a month and just walk around looking like medusa. As a fat girl my hair was my "beauty" feature. It's weird. It's betrayed me :)

I don't think I am losing hair yet. (Knock on wood!) But I have always been a "shedder" I leave hair everywhere.

I read that around 100 strands a day is normal. How much do you think you are losing?

I'm scared to even imagine how many. I'm sure it's more than the normal. I bought some Moroccan oil to put on my hair to get rid of the dry straw look. I've always had thicker hair but is thinning terrible at my hair line making it look awful! I'm on the point where I'm either gonna buy some clip ins or whack it all off. I've loved my hair til this last month or so. Idk it's weird how attached I am to something as simple as hair.

      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.
