It's been almost 5 months from my surgery and so far I've lost 65 lbs I could've lost more but I have a medical condition that doesn't allow me to move around (like walk or exercise) in which I will soon be taking care of with another surgery that I need. All these medical problems have me stressed out and kinda down but now that I've lost way over half of my hair I feel more depress!!! I've been taking my Vitamins but I want to know what else can I take so my hair can grow back!

I'm considering roggaine too

There is nothing you can do about it. Don't waste your money on supplements.

Its a normal reaction to trauma, mine was during months 3-5. It lasted about 6 weeks and I did not lose all my hair. You will probably never read a post that says, I am bald. So just let it do it's thing. I will begin to grow. I'll bet my life that you have regrowth. It does come back better and stronger because your diet ( I hope) is better now, Good in good out

Try taking double of your Vitamins or vitamins for pregnancy. Also is very expensive but sky mall has something for Hair loss maybe you can find it on eBay for cheaper. I wish I knew the name start with sky mall.(it will give the description) but honestly I don't know how much you lost but it's all temporary and will grow back once you start eating more. This is a cliché but remember Protein protein protein!

Are you getting at least 80 grams of Protein a day? My NUT warned us that unless we take our Vitamins AND our protein we will experience a lot of Hair loss.< /p>

I haven't really been taking my Vitamins and I haven't been eating much :(

I know , I know ... It's my fault but I've been really sick and been in and out of the hospital for like 7 months I was in a coma for a month 2 months BEFORE my gastric sleeve!...

I almost died :(

It doesn’t matter if you are getting all your Protein and Vitamins it just happens it’s a known fact of rapid weightloss.
I could fill cups with all my hair that come out every time it does stop its depressing but it does stop!

Many people who begin losing their hair after WLS are advised to tank a zinc supplement! Talk to your surgeons office and get their opinion! Don't double up on Vitamins or anything without their approval!

I just watched a show where they has a doctor on who specializes in hair loss... She said that the amount of Protein that one takes in DOES INDEED matter. My doc said the same thing. Some people say Biotin works and some don't but he said it does help as well as zinc.

That blue liquid is called Isopure. They sell them usually at the Vitamin stores. I actually just go finished drinking mine. It's a Liquid Protein drink. I think there is 40grams Protein. It's a nice change not having the normal (creamy) Protein Drinks lol.

Thanks for posting this!! I'm super worried about Hair loss and I've been told that protein is the key to keep from losing as much.

      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.
