I am 3 months out and have started to lose a considerable amount of hair, I get my Protein in and follow my plan religiously. Problem is I was using Biotin before for menopausal Hair loss and now it doesn't seem to be working. Is their any other Vitamins or supplements that I should look into.

I am not the wig or hat wearing type of gal so I getting really scared. I know people recommend cutting your hair but my hairloss is so noticeable that it would only show more of my scalp.

Really scared and need advise. :(

I m in the same boat. Went to doctor today just for follow up and they assured me that it will grow back. I m praying they are right.

I am 9 months out from surgery and have been losing hair since about 3 months out. I was taking (2) 5000 mcg Biotin's daily for 5 months and I didn't feel like is was helping. About a month ago I switched to Viviscal (at the suggestion of my physician). It appears my Hair loss has slowed down which I am attributing to the switch, but it could also be the fact that I am not in the rapid weight loss phase anymore. I also started using Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo and conditioner and applying Matrix Biolage Advanced Keratindose which contains Protein daily. I will try anything to stop loosing my hair!

      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.
