how much does hair weigh?



Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if breaking my stall wasn't due to freaking hair loss! I'm shedding. I pulled a shirt out of the dryer. I guess I had brushed my hair before I put it in the wash. The whole shirt was covered in tangled and mangled hair. And it was my hair.

No. I have a friend that cuts off very long hair for wigs and even a thick ponytail does't add to a pound. You've broken your stall with effort!

The hair thing will pass, as long as you keep your calories not ridiculously low and eat a variety of healthy foods. I recommend fresh squeezed juices or vitamix smoothies if you cannot yet hold solid food.

I been taking Biotin since I could start Vitamins after surgery and I lose hair but not as much as if I didn't take it. Plus it helps with nails too.

I cut mine a few weeks ago but alas, no change on the scale from that. I am losing my hair now though. I'm 13 weeks post op with a band. I have super thick hair so I'm hoping it won't be a big deal. I'm only on a daily Multivitamin.

Hair loss here too. Not sure for some of us, no matter what you take, Shampoo with, rub into your hair... It still sheds out! Good luck! (Me too!)

      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.
