I had beautiful long hair half way down my back was sleeves on 5/31/2016 I had a massive weight loss in the first month I started in at 5 foot eight 244 pounds. I lost 40 about 45 pounds my first month. I didn't really notice any Hair loss for the first I'd say three months. All the way up until I got to be around Christmas time so I would say in the six-month. My hair started shedding like a duck it was insane it wasn't handfuls but every time I was in the shower I was living here was getting stuck to me it was all over the place. I did start to take Biotin made sure that my Protein was up around that point when my hair was shedding like crazy I hit 155 pounds I was about 85 pounds down. I did not have thining at the crown of my head or anything like that. But what I would notice is just tons and tons of hair every time I brush my hair would just come out and it was gradual but sometime between December in like February it got so bad and my help at witchy Pooh it was terrible. I had to go to the salon and have my hairdresser cut my hair short I've never had shorthair my life. What she did was she layered it and then put it probably like 2 inches above or 3 inches above my shoulders which is very very short for me. You could feel the new hair growing in because I had that like prickly feeling and my hair is growing in now since it does not have much volume. But it's growing in and it looks 100% better than it used to probably gonna take me at least a good year and a half to get my old length of hair back but this is extremely common I would say it was it was almost like every time I had a baby I would my hair with Shedand Shed but it was like that only you know five times worse it's temporary and I'll come back The first picture is about three months into losing weight so I would say that's about they are about August or so 2016 The second one is how short my hair is as it grows back and I'll stop shedding shedding like maybe two months ago definitely cutting your hair helps

      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.
