I'm pre-op but have been on other diets that caused hair shedding. My hair was the length that yours is after the cut, now my hair is a pixie cut due to shedding and peri-menopause (something that you won't need to think about for a bit ;) ) so I chopped. I'm not missing my locks either.

Don't worry, your hair will start growing back by 8 months. Congrats on the weight loss!

I'm 6 1/2 months post op and started losing my hair about two months post op. Today was the first time there was no hair in the drain. I hope this means this hair shedding is coming to an end.

hair, skin, & nails is an awesome vitamin! My mom has been taking it since her surgery (4 years ago) and it's really helped. After having my son my hair was falling out by the handful. She gave me a bottle... I've been taking it almost 4 years myself and nails look good. Hair has stopped falling out... I missed a couple months of taking it... Hair fell out like crazy and nails peeled really bad.

I was taking those prior to surgery. That brand is awesome and it really works! I stopped taking them once I had surgery and started taking sublingual Biotin along with my other chewable and sublingual Vitamins required.

I recently started taking pill form Vitamins (6 months post op). Now that I know I can tolerate the Vitamin pills I will pick up Hair Skin & Nails the next time I go to costco.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
