There are lots of threads concerning Hair loss cisco--it is quite common. It ranges from mild, to fairly severe---losing over half your hair.< /strong>

There are many guesses as to why it happens. One Dr. will say it is not enough protein--others say that has nothing to do with it, it is just from the shock to the body, in regards to the sudden change of diet. Yet others relate it to the anesthesia.

If you are taking a good Multivitamin, and keeping your Protein up, do not eliminate all the fat from your diet, treat your hair gently, and eventually it will stop, and grow back in.

I suffered from severe loss. My protein intake stayed high, I know for a solid fact that had nothing to do with mine. It lasted until about 11 months out, and quit as suddenly as it seemed to start.

I had some health problems a few months ago, and due to a tumor on my thyroid, my diet once again changed, concerning what I could or could not swallow---I had surgery, and am now dealing with some hair loss again--although not nearly as severe.

If I had an answer for you I would be the hit of LBT----unfortunately, I don't---I just know it will eventually quit and regrow----stressing over it will not help.

Sorry you too had to experience this problem....

Ok, this is my first time posting a message. i find many of your postings encouraging (pls continue). I (probably like many) felt i didn't need to join a club (such as this one) BUT I proven myself wrong. i had my band done May 31, 07...i've only lost (i'm guessing cause my scale broke) maybe 25-26 lbs. i need help. Any suggestion? Not exercising does not help either.

Here is a recipe I use occasionally, great source of Protein and easy.

450 gms trimmed chicken livers

10-15 clives minced garlic (this is definatly as per your taste)

1 medium-large onion

2 tbsp EVOO

salt to taste

juice of 1 lemon and zest

Dry fry the livers till they loose their pinkness and set aside.

Fry 1 tbsp of the oil and the onion until really soft, then add garlic and lemon zest. Let everything cool down a bit (not cold)

I put it all in the food processor, and add lemon juice to liquify. Take small moulds (equally divide mixture into 4) and spray with some pam. Fill the moulds and refridgerate.

I eat this with carrot and cucumber sticks. High protein. Here is calorie counts analysis

Hi mie, you just need to eat small servings ,and put on your plate, Protein, or drink Protein Drinks , but, as far as food , ask your doctor, what you can't eat, and what you can eat very small amounts , like mash potatoes, 1teaspoonful, meat 1/2an oz. veggies cut really small, oz. 's not 3or 4oz. 3or 4 meals a day and eat what you like in very small portions, and chew your food well, drink plenty of Water. and your Proteins drinks , and Vitamins too, but, ask you doctor...

      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.
