hi girls wanted to ask did any of your hair thin mine seems to of thinned a bit was wondering what anyone took to help thanks girls and boys lol

I take Biotin caps 5000mgs my hair has thinned a lot, My surgeon said it is an effect of rapid weight loss or long term weight loss, i eat enough Protein so i know its not that and my age of 57 is against me too, the Biotin really helps tho, it may not stop you getting thinner but it stimulates regrowth, u get nice long eyelashes too :) i get mine from Amazon. Your hair normaally recovers expecially once you hit maintenance mode so dont panic too much ..

the tablets are large capsules but strangely i didnt have problems swallowing them, the shape i can't swallow are like the bullet balloon shape caps .. normally Omega 3 is in them ... i am also using the Biotin Shampoo and conditioner its not that costly and lasts ages ...

I had a similar issue. End if Jan 2012 had 2ml defill acid reflux improved immediately. I have been really careful with my hair but it was thin & lank good indicator i wasn't getting enough nutrition. Since defill huge improvement. My hairdresser could feel where it was thicker nearer the roots due to improved nutrition so chopped off the rubbish.

Planning to go for a 0.5ml fill as i have gained weight since defill so need to lose 11lbs!

Used body shop volumising Shampoo & conditioner for a while. Now normal shampoo again. Taking mult vits etc plus spatone.

Take care everyone

2 weeks to the day folks so excited!!! Just a quick question I've gone for the package with airport transfers! Did any body else get the transfers. If so where did you meet the taxi? Was there somebody waiting as you came through arrivals?

I have also heard Biotin is also good, some people have whey Protein to check there protein in take is good, and just make sure you get lots of b Vitamins. I also heard that iodine is meant to be good because sometimes losing hair is to do with low thyroid function have you had your checked out by your GP?

I need a kick up the arse! chocolate and wine are my downfall too. When nothing else goes down they still will. Will start again from now. Need willpower. And hi to freckles Et al. My app on iPhone not so good.

This is so true for me too. I could live off chocolate and wine! I think I am going to have to totally ban myself from both of them.

it seems that taking Vitamins are important during the whole process! i think i look for a slimming shake that contains them at the same time. Anyway I started to lose weight and don't feel that hungry at the moment so I am still glad that i done it! There was no way I was going to do it on my own I been trying to lose weight for years.

well done mini for starting this journey , you have a while to your wedding, I bet your very excited about losing the weight for it? This has been the best thing I have done for myself , the weight has come off slowly and steady and what i have managed has stayed off.I don't bother with the gym i walk my dog every day instead. I brought him about 4 years ago so that he guilt trips me into walking him.

      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.
