Nioxin sounds like it would work well if it urges re growth, but make sure you choose a system that protects the hair that is still on your head as well!

This is gonna sound like an ad, but I started using Aveda's "Invati" system.. And I stress that you must use the complete system. It's specifically made to treat and prevent thinning hair, and to nourish the hair follicles. It's not made to address hormonal Hair loss, such as male pattern balding or menopausal thinning, that nioxin is made to treat however. I went to an Aveda cosmetology school and our product rep specifically mentioned that Invati can be used to prevent hair loss during massive weight loss or weight loss surgery. It does this through the serum, which penetrates the scalp and protects and nourishes the hair follicle. The Shampoo clarifies the scalp so that the serum can be fully effective, and the conditioner thickens each hair strand. Invati is made to protect the hair in the first place, and protect your remaining hair from falling out. IN addition to the Invati system I am taking Biotin, Vitamins and amino acids

I'm using the Aveda Invanti system. It's expensive, but I have noticed that I have less Hair loss than before I started using it, and my hair looks thicker. I'm only a month out from surgery, so I don't know what will happen in a couple of months, but I'm hoping for the best!

      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.
