Hi all, I'm 9 months post op and at the Hair loss stage. It's actually much worse than I thought it would be given the fact that I have fine hair to begin with. My greys need to be touched up pretty badly, so my question is -- will dying my roots make it much worse? (It's so bad I'm looking at wigs online lol). Thank you!!

Try using Henna. It will tint your hair and it will thicken it. Well make the individual strands seem thicker.

Please don't use Henna yourself, let a professional do it. I used it in my 30s and results were disastrous. I lost hair from 5 months for 1 1/2 years. I too have fine thin hair. I stopped coloring my hair, took Worthless Biotin for four years, used expensive hair products. NOthing worked but a nice pretty $160 wig from a wig shop. I learned the hard way, you MUST try them on. I bought about four online and they don't fit and I never could wear them. Good luck, this too shall pass.

Here is what finally worked for my hair loss... I drank one or two cups of bamboo tea every day ( ordered from Amazon) that helped a lot. Bamboo is high in silica which helps hair skin and nails. I also drank a serving of marine collagen in my Water every day. I used a brand called Vida Glow. It was on the expensive side, but it only took about two months. My hair is now back to its original state.

      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.
