There is nothing that will help, not even Biotin. Hopefully, it will stop soon.

I have long hair. I have lost a lot of hair. Jan 11th I will be at 6 months. It is starting to slow down. At 4 months it was a lot more. One thing I did was I bought a old fashioned hair brush. One that has soft bristles. All I can explain is it looks like the old ones that used to sit on vanity tables of women years ago. Like 1900's. I found one in CVS pharmacy. I swear right away I was not pulling my hair out every time I brushed my hair. My issue is my hair gets tangled and then when I used my regular old brush clumps would come out but with the new brush it barely happens anymore. :rolleyes:

There's another brush on the market called the Wet Brush, and I have found the same thing. I have very fine hair, and use a wide toothed comb first, and then the Wet Brush. I think it minimizes the breakage.

@dlar57- get the wet brush it cost about 10- but well worth it. I started ataking Biotin 10,000 mg and good vitimins too a while ago, fingers crossed it will help!!

      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.
