I noticed a,significant loss. I'm about 3 months out. Chopped my hair real short to make it look better and not as traumatic with bunches fall out. It literally made me cry at the gym Monday when I was toweling my hair off and a nice bunch of hair fell out. I walked into the salon next door, showed a photo from Pintrest and chop chop my shoulder length hair is a short choppy pixie. There are no bald spots which I am thankful for.

At four months I was shedding like crazy. I'm six months out and it's finally stopped. I had several inches cut and layers added. I started with a lot of hair and it looks ok, but it's not full. I have been taking Biotin since surgery. Also, my hair texture changed... I have curly hair now, before it was wavy.

My hair is falling out by the handful. It's been going on for two weeks now and my hair is so thin now that you can seen my scalp. I went out today and bought a wig to help bridge the gap until it all grows back. I just hope it does grow back. I am 5 months post op.

I'm losing a horrifying amount of hair right now (4 month out). Had my 3 month follow up appt with the surgeon last week, he said it's totally normal and that my hair should grow back thicker than before. Should. Here's hoping for should because right now, I'm afraid to even wash 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.
