it'll stop. Then it will grow back. And for many of us, we're the only ones who really notice it.

I'm taking Biotin and using Nexium and Minoxidil and I haven't noticed any additional thinning or loss beyond what I already had due to thyroid issues

Yup, me too. This, too, shall pass! I'm enjoying my short, thin haircut for the summer. My Hair loss is probably less dramatic looking, because I did get it cut short. My drain will not look nearly as clogged as yours. Hang in there. We'll get through this. :)

I had surgery a year ago and I'm still losing my hair. I cut my hair short and use Biotin and collagen Shampoo. I makes my hair look a little fuller

      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.
