I would like to follow this thread as well :-)

I am noticing a lot of hair coming out the past couple of weeks.

My Dr. said to double my Vitamins and that would help some. Also continue to keep Protein between 60-80 grams a day. Probably old news for you but just thought I would share JIC....

I was told by a friend that was also sleeved to use RedKen Extreme Shampoo (blue bottle) for a Protein boost. But, I spoke with my hairdresser who is also a dear friend and he said that it doesn't matter because he said the hair loss comes from the lack of Protein from the inside. He used to work for RedKen so he's very knowledgeable about this stuff. He talked to me about using Protein powder on top of eating protein (I'm 17 weeks out).

I started taking Biotin 10 mg a day. I also only use Shampoo about once a month, I use a cleansing conditioner every day, something along the line of wen. I'm only 7 weeks post op, I'm not sure if you are further along than I am. But so far so good.

I just had my NUT appointment, she stressed going for 80+grams of Protein a day, and making sure to get all your Vitamins, and Water in.

I myself am a cosmetologist The Hair loss does come from a lack of Protein on the inside. But I use nioxin 3 step kit to help. It creates a healthy environment for optimal Hair growth. It will not stop it but can help prevent "fall".

Yeah, my doctor told me the same thing.

I'm not actually experiencing Hair loss. I just thought it couldn't hurt to use a better Shampoo & conditioner to help prevent it.

I am trying this stuff with collegian & Biotin in it. I've heard Nioxion is the best though. It's just kinda pricey.

Yes it is. But remember when using professional products a little goes a long way. No reason a kit shouldn't last you 2 months unless you have massive amounts of hair.

Good point! I really had no idea it could last that long. I think I may order some. I just feel like it'd be a smart preventative thing to do.

The day before surgery I bought some Biotin Shampoo and conditioner from GNC. I'm only 3 days out, but I'll have it if I need it.

So I'm seeing that the Hair loss is from lack of Protein? Then where does the Biotin Vitamin come in? I average about,60g Protein per day and just started seeing some loss so started biotin.... Should I just be upping the protein instead?

      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.
