*MORE* Hair post op?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so this might be a little odd since pretty much all the posts about "hair" are about Hair loss, so far, a few weeks shy of 6 months and I haven't had any hair loss.

I have noticed *MORE* Hair or at least the appearance if more hair... body hair. Has anyone else noticed that their body hair appears to have increased? I read that it might be pore density, which sounds plausible at least, the whole, same amount of hair folicles/pores that are now closure together due to the weight loss.

Anyone else have any thoughts, insight, comments, experiences with the appearance of more body hair?

That's funny I was just telling my wife the other night "I think I am getting more hair all over" she laughed and said I was crazy!!! But you thoughts very well could be true

Weight loss causing changes in the male hormones that impact on Hair growth?

That's another potential! Reductions in estrogen from fat loss will cause the ratio of estrogen to testosterone to change.

I'll take Hair loss on my head, over a gain of body hair... any day. Thank you Matt for putting things into perspective. :lol:

Yep. That's my bet. More HGH, more testosterone and androgen production/release/conversion. Yippity dippity doo!

      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.
