Best Chewable vitamins to fight hair loss



Recommended Posts

Biotin is what my NP recommended for me; I don't know that it comes in chewable form, but it does come in a sublingual form. Also, be sure to take your bariatric mulitvitamin. I'm sure that helps too.

Biotin, but there are some conflicting reports of it not actually doing anything (I still take it daily).

It's important to note that Hair loss can be caused by stress and not a deficiency in Vitamins as well. The stress associated with a major surgery can cause your body to pump out hormones that cause our hair to enter a "resting" phase. So, it's possible that no matter what you take, it won't have an actual effect on your potential hair loss. I'm hoping against hope that I don't lose anything, it's taken me quite a while to get my hair where it is now... and I don't want to lose a bunch of the beard either!
Good luck!

"telogen effluvium has to do with stress to the body and hormonal changes that can occur. Due to the stress more hair follicles can enter into the resting phase. This is important because the hair in the resting phase at the time of surgery is most likely the hair you will shed. This is why your hair sheds between 1 to 6 months after surgery (usually about3 to 4 months). When the hair starts to grow again the old hair follicle is released and you lose hair. Sometimes the hair comes out before new hair grows, yikes!"

I haven’t had any Hair loss (6months). My nutritionist attributes it to hitting my nutrition goals (protein). I do take 2 chewable Centrum complete Vitamins daily, Vitamin D, B12, Calcium and they test us every couple months for nutrition labs. I also started Biotin maybe 2 months ago due to breaking finger nails (it helped), so that could be a factor.

I haven’t tried them but I see a lot of people online raving about these Sugar Bear Vitamins.

There are dissolvable Biotin pills, I just ordered mine off of Amazon

Thanks, good to know. I have pretty thick hair, but I don't want to lose any of it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
