Insight on hair loss?



Recommended Posts

Minoxidil and Biotin is supposed to help you grow your hair back. Nothing stops the loss and unfortunately if it is going to happen then it does. Can't stop it, so I say expect it to happen and if it doesn't then you dodged that bullet. If it does just know that it should stop and then grow back. That's what I'm banking on as I've been losing my hair for about 2 months now.

I have baby fine hair and I lost a LOT. Like...crying and using colored powder to cover my scalp. My sister is a cosmetologist and gave me all sorts of products (Nioxin/Toppix) and chopped my hair really short. I took Biotin and got my Protein in but nothing helped. I am now 2 years post op and my scalp has just gotten to the point where it was before surgery. It's a long road but it's worth it.

      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.
