I'm feeling sad today. I'm losing my hair. Just about a week ago it started falling out.. It just comes out in clumps consistently. Does anyone have any advise? Or when it stops/comes back?

How's your Protein intake? You look great btw!! Keep up the good work! I haven't had surgery yet but I purchased hair products called aphogee and hairobics and they both have protein in them. You can purchase these products online!!

Look into E3LIVE. My mother had the same issue a few years back and she swears by E3live. My surgery is scheduled for Sept 3rd and I plan to start taking it as soon as I can.

losing my hair. - comes out in clumps consistently.

@@Nickole75

i was told to take Biotin - its a capsol (msp?)

i spoke with my hairdresser and she adviced me to continue to use it - it is supposed to be good for you

"normal" people take it too!!!

i have very short, thin hair

"maybe" a couple of spots got a "little" thinner - but nothing really

i'd rather be bummed about my hair for a LITTLE while - then be fat for a LONG while

for a couple of months years ago i lost my hair to cancer

again, i would rather be bald for a LITTLE while - then have breast cancer

bw - think about all the money you save on Shampoo ;)

good luck

Mine started falling out about 5 months also. I started using nioxin Shampoo and conditioner and at 8 months it is starting to fill back in. I have lots of fuzzy 1 inch growth coming in. I to was sad, depressed and just freaked out after each time I showered or brushed my hair. Keep up your Protein and Vitamins and ride this stage out. It does come back.

Hey Nickole. You look great! How much weight did you lose and how long did it take you to lose it? You should probably update your profile because it still says that you've only lost 16 pounds which is obviously incorrect.

I really don't have too much advice for the hair loss issue. I've been taking Biotin daily and trying to keep up my Protein intake. You may want to try a Shampoo that doesn't have sulfates in it. Although my hair isn't falling out it is thinning which is bad because my hair was thin from the beginning. Good luck to you.

Thank you guys for the tips. I'm going to up my Protein and I ordered some Vitamin gummies online today (I hate pills)

As of Wednesday I was 70lbs down. That's in 5months 2 weeks. I'm gonna go update my profile!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
