I am 11.5 weeks out and it has begun with me as well. I am doing all I am supposed to do. so my resolve is to get a new hairstyle to work with me while I go thru this phase. I am going with a short angled bob.

GOOD LUCK!

My nutritionist said the Hair loss around 3-6 months is from the trauma of surgery and the few days of very low calories right after surgery. (nothing you can do about it) hair loss after 6 months is not getting enough Protein in your diet daily.

My Hair loss started less than 2 months out. I started taking Biotin at the 2-3 month mark, and it definitely seemed to help.

Mine stopped around month 6 or 7. I lost quite a bit of hair. I used a topical treatment throughout called Phytocane serum that successfully caused regrowth and my hairline is still filling back in.

      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.
