What do you put in your shower to collect your hair?



Recommended Posts

I thought I was immune to Hair loss after never losing any after my pregnancies and not having any loss until NOW...LOTS of har loss...which doesn't but me too much since I have a ton of hair...

BUT...I don't want to clog my drain...so...any suggestions as to what to put in my drains.

My one shower has a flat drain and the second has a recessed drain!

Thanks in advance!

My mom had the gastric bypass, she and many of the other people in her support group lost a lot of hair! Hope you find a strainer, ace hardware, even Walmart has those. She takes liquid vitamins to help. Now, a year later, she seems to be back to normal.

I have a hair catcher that I bought from Bed, Bath and Beyond. It has suction cups that go over the drain so it should work with any type of drain. I started getting these after I clogged the drain before being banded with my long hair. After banding and a major haircut, I still use them.

The only problem I have with them is that they seem to get gross kinda quickly and it's just me in that shower. I just stocked up on them and trade them out pretty regularly.

As opposed to "catching" the hair you could let it go down the drain and treat the drain. I treat our drains monthly with hot Water flushing and bleach followed by more hot water. Keeps them running clean and smooth (the bleach eats the hair). You just might have to do it more often.

Cheers,

Mary

      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.
