Terrified of losing my hair



Recommended Posts

I'm only two weeks post op but I'm terrified of losing my hair. I have thin hair to begin with and don't want to have bald Patches all over my head. I can't seem to stop thinking about this.

EssKayy I completely understand. I am 105 days out and completely obsessing over my hair. To date I'm not having any loss but I am so afraid. It is all I think about. I take 10,000 mg of Biotin daily. I'm just hoping for the best. My sisters laugh because I'm doing all sorts of things. This past week I put a avocado, honey, and oatmeal mask on my hair. I saw that on YouTube. I'm literally praying to not lose my hair. I tell everyone that my hair is the best thing on my body. I don't know what I would do if I lose it.

I was too, I also have pretty thin hair. I took Biotin and my calories have steadily moved towards a more normal level. My Hair loss started around Month 4 and is still happening. I don't really have any patchy areas yet and I have noticed baby hairs in the front. Hopefully yours won't be too bad either. 😀

Do not be afraid of losing hair. Think of it as a rebirth. I lost a lot of hair 6 yrs ago when I got very sick. It does come back. Also try coconut oil on your scalp and comb it through your hair great for your skin too! Will help with nourishing your skin as you lose.
I know the Hair loss can be scary but think about what is on the other side, a more radiant and healthy slimmer you!
Embrace the changes to come, close your eyes and walk through the fire.....it will be amazing on the other side.
My surgery is next month, waiting for a date.
Good luck!!

      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.
