Just my edges in front. It's frustrating because I have rally long dreadlocks and I'd like to not have to cut them. So far pin up styles & headbands have helped. Biotin and hair Vitamins haven't really made a difference.

This honestly is the most embarrassing thing ever to me I cannot get my hair back almost seems as if I'm bald on top so I'm thinking of maybe getting extensions but I don't know how they would look

I take Iron folic acid and Biotin nothing is different

This is what I do and it doesn't come out as much. My daughter is a hairdresser and she always tells me to stop washing my hair every day. I now wash my med. shower length hair every 3 days. I will wash on the 1st day dry it spray each strand before I curl it with hairspray and then throw my head over and blow dry some of the curl out. I then add hair volumizer ( can purchase some from walmart) and shake it all over my head. Do not try and curl or brush your hair after adding the volumizer. I then pick it where needed and for the next 2 days I don't even touch it with a brush or comb I just throw my head over and blow dry again. use a pick where needed and add a little hairspray and do this again on day 3. I do not have near the amount of hair coming out like I would if I washed my hair more often. I get so many complements on my hair now and I am not freaking out about Hair loss. By the way my hair is very thin and by doing these steps my dr. made the comment he was not concerned about my hair loss because I had a lot of hair! lol Little does he know. hahaha I am only brushing it 1 out of 3 days so that is what is helping. Good luck.

      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.
