this hair loss is depressing!

I know. It's really is scary to think about. I passed my 4 month mark and thought I was home free. I'd taken all my Vitamins, still was drinking a Protein Shake for Breakfast just to ensure I was meeting my Protein goals, and lo and behold, it started coming out anyway. Luckily, I have very thick hair, so only I and my hairdresser noticed. And it has already started growing back. I just don't want you to be blindsided when you do everything right and you still lose some hair. I really hope you don't. Keep us posted. I will be interested to know how going to your nutriologist may help with it.

Hi all it stops eventually. Some will re gain lost hair some wont (I don't get the massive pony tail back) but most came back. I started loosing by the handfull and brush full by 3 months. My doctor had no reason why. (I was his 1st ever vs). He has done other types bands and R N Y. But he said never seen it before.

Vits is a must. Try Biotin and All B Vits they help build the hair and nails

Increase your Protein if you can.

Remember it will pass its a natural part if the process. I have been told its from a shift in nutrients and side effect of surgery. The latter I tend to agree with more. I have had 2 previous surgeries and both times I experienced Hair loss. Be well be strong. This to will pass.

      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.
