Almost everyone does. It's temporary. There's nothing you can do to prevent it. You will not go bald. Just shedding. It will grow back when your weight stabilizes.

I lost so much hair, I had bald spots! I take Biotin which helped a little, but Proud stated, it calms down and grows back

Speaking of which I have to tell y'all an interesting story about my Hair loss. I used to have super curly hair, and as I got older, it became straighter. I also have baby fine hair. So I was heart broken when my hair fell out as I didn't have much to begin with! My doctors and beauticians all told me the diabetic drugs and menopause was causing my hair to be straight. That I will never have my curly hair anymore. When my hair started to grow back, it looked awful with different lengths and was a mess, so I had it cut short. Now that it is growing back full throttle it is my OLD hair! Its curly and soft and beautiful. I don't know if it was I was so unhealthy before or all the Vitamins I take now or the walking or the fact I no longer take ANY diabetic drugs or insullin, but i am loving it! I didnt know how to work straight hair, I always had such easy curly hair, and I am so happy.

So be patient with the hair loss. It will come back and will come back better than ever!! In the meanwhile, get some cute hats. I wore little beanies and what my husband called "Jessie hats" (from Breaking Bad) in the winter and nobody really noticed.

Had the same issue, 4th month hair was coming out, I add more veggie fat, and that help a lot. Like coconut oil, olive oil. i just used it when I made my eggs, or other Protein. I keep my hair short, since the new growth would stick out. i too have curly hair so it's not to bad to hide the thinning. I am glad it's stopped. Over all I am so glad I got this Sleeve, it's made my life so much better and my health is 100 precent better.

      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.
