Do u lose less hair? ??!

Unlikely. hair loss is believed to be caused by the trauma of surgery followed by the huge drop in Protein immediately after surgery. There's nothing you can do to avoid it, but some people lose more, some less - if there was a way to beat it, we'd all have done it :-)

Have been losing hair for 3 months, lost about 50% volume. But have had it cut and use keratin fibres to bulk it up... Staying cool about it as stress makes it worse lol. Only had compliments about new style, I seem to be the only one who sees that there's less of it...

hair is made of keratin, so I buy keratin fibres from Toppik, which is a powder that comes in a range of hair colours. You shake it into the roots or into the places where your hair looks thin and it creates the impression of more hair! Couldn't survive without it at the moment.

You find it at www.toppick.com. They have hair thickening shampoos etc but have to be honest and say its only the powder that works for me. Probably are other companies doing similar but I went for them on the basis that they have been around for years. Hope this helps :-)

Thanks for the info Indigo1991. I already have pretty fine thin hair so this is a concern for me. I am going to try the powder out.

Great, let us know how it goes. It's really strange, the illusion it creates really has saved me in recent weeks, has given me confidence and stopped me worrying about my hair (which really was my crowning glory!)

      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.
