Is there anything more depressing...

Revs, bet you still look good :-)

Trust me, girls, it gets better and it does so almost overnight.... I was in despair over the Christmas hols but between now and then I can see a huge difference in the amount of hair I have today. For the avoidance of doubt, there's way more, with none going down the plug other than what might be regarded as "normal".

I emailed my nut. She said the hair loss was common, and I could take Biotin, but she didn't expect it making a difference, but did go on to say some people swear by it ...then went on to say it might have just been the hair kicking back in and not related tony Biotin. Clearly she is not on the pro biotin camp side. But... She did say it was only temporary. I did some searches and found articles that also say the same thing- this one is fairly informative if you'd like e link to read-

I did place a biotin order online for the strawberry dissolvables and also read varda has a new line of Shampoo and conditioner hat is supposed to help with growth.

      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.
