Weak nails

[HealthyLifeStyle 351]

I had the WLS close to 9 months ago and my nails including my toenails are so weak they are peeling, and breaking below the nail bed surface. So low in fact that my entire toenail peeled right off the other day and was bleeding for hours. I know that we are not absorbing nutrients as we were before, but this is getting really bad. My fingernails are disgusting, and I have to keep them filed all the way down to the fingertips. Is this happening to anyone else? If so, what did you do to fix/help it?

I haven't experienced that, but have you had labs done lately? I wonder if you might be deficient in Protein or some Vitamin or mineral?

I actually did have my labs done and everything came back good. I never had super strong nails before the surgery, but now its way worse.
