I just thank goodness I have really thick hair. There's a huge handful of hair on the bathroom floor every single day! I try to only wash it twice a week, I use good quality Shampoo and conditioner and never, ever blow dry or use flat irons. I do hope it stops soon, though.

I did have thick hair until now. I just hope this slows down or stops before I am bald!

Can't be sure I'm even losing any, I'm a natural strawberry nlonde, red-gold hair, we have the fewest hairs per square inch in the first place. I keep my hair in a pixie- modified shag, I am not a fussy-hair person, rather gently slap on some makeup and face the world bravely. I do want glam shots when I get closer to 200 but that's still over half a hundred away. So I keep on keeping on, trust in God's Love and deal with everything I'm given or granted. I am honest to the best of my abilities, Frustr8 is just what you suspect, a an still obese lady trying her best to lose her fluffy fat and so the inner me can shine out for all. I am your best friend but rile me once too many and I can make a fearsome enemy if necessary. Evil looks and a sharp tongue, I grew and deserve even one of my thin red hairs. So world, better treat me better than you have, I roll over for no one, no time, not anymore! Frustr8 Power forever or until I stop breathing!

I had Hair loss up until 11 months, but I had thick hair to begin with and I feel like it actually improved after the LOSS process stopped and I kept getting healthier. I'm over a year post op now.

My Hair loss started like 2 weeks after surgery! I'm a little over 3 months now and it is like cobwebs of hair coming out in the shower. Ugh. I was told around 6 months+ the hormones will start evening out and all that, but everyone is different. I'm taking a keratin supplement for the heck of it but that does nothing. I also have insane explosive acne now and spotting even though I have an IUD and haven't had a period in 5 years. I can't wait for my estrogen, etc, to chillllll.

It's been one year since my surgery and though I think my Hair loss had finally stopped, I have not begun growing hair back. My hair is still sparse and completely thinned out. I used to wreck pony tail holders, now I barely have enough hair for one. I can't wait to see if my hair comes back. I've accepted the loss if it doesn't and will look into hair pieces and extensions. :)

I read a recommendation from another surgeon to take Biotin 10,000 mcg to help prevent Hair loss. I started this 2 weeks after surgery when I started the other Vitamins, I'll let you know if it works. Might just be snake oil, but it can't hurt anything to try.

I started to double up on the Vitamins.

In the am - multi for her / hair-nail / prenatal.

In the pm - a different Multi / Calcium

It's been 2 weeks since I started this and using Shampoo with Biotin / once every 3 days at night spray vit. E

I see less hair in the drain shower and on the brush. But no regrowth yet. Passing on what I see or not see LOL

      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.
