I am currently 9 months post surgery and have lost 228 lbs. I would very much appreciate anyone's information/experiences/advice on Hair loss. When does it stop falling out? When does it start coming back? etc. Honestly it's not the skin or related issues that are my biggest challenge, it is my thinning hair. What can I do?

I’ve gone in for 3 Vitamin and mineral IV infusions. At 7 months out, I’ve lost 75% of my hair. It isn’t very nice to have such thin hair. I was at my hairdressers today, and she showed me all the new hair, an inch long. That has started to come in. It is just going to take a long time.

so I am going to get extensions for a while. I think it will make me feel better about my looks. I’m so happy to be in normal sizes now, and my hair used to be my best feature. Even my count on the cleavage boobs are gone south. So I do want my hair to look decent these next few months.

      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.
