Hair growth after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I am 2 months post op and my hair is growing like crazy! I know I keep hearing about Hair loss at around the 3 month mark but anyone experience excessive Hair growth before the hair loss?

I am thinking that it because I have been eating foods with nutrition now in oppose to my normal pre op food without nutrition. But I don't know. ..

You know I thought the same thing for my first few months then realized it was by I lost weight in shoulders and back so it was longer.

What you put into your body will effect what comes out, this includes hair and nails!

I say take it and run.

My hair fell out at a pretty decent rate for 3-5 months post and the regrowth was almost immediate and its soo much better!

My nails are finally long and strong as well.

Good luck to you

Talk about a win-win! Were you not a big Protein eater before surgery?

It is a win win. Only taking flinstone Vitamins. Didn't eat much Protein before surgery. Just a bunch of junk. I hope it last!

      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.
