I too am a victim of loosing hair. It has gotten better the last month or two. I use Nioxin products I get from my hairstylist. I think they help me. It will take a couple of hair cycles to catch back up and it is now beginning to look better. I have baby fine hair to begin with. Hang in there, it will get better.

It depends on your hair type. If you go to Nioxin.com, click on Assess My Needs and it will ask you a few questions and then tell you what number you need. I use #5 because my hair is very course and curly and not dyed. I would suggest buying it on ebay, that is where I found it the cheapest. I would also suggest first buying a starter kit to see how you like it before you spend a lot on bigger bottles. I have used it for almost a month, and I can see a difference. I actually have little hairs growing back. I don't know if it is from the Nioxin, but I'm just glad it's coming back in.

I was starting to think I was going a little nuts. I've been noticing I've been shedding too more than usual and I'm nearly 6 weeks post op. Good to know I'm not the only one. :lol:

I am almost 9 months out and it has finally stopped falling out. It is starting to grow a bit where I had some "empty" spaces. Still, I use a filler powder that seems to help in the meantime.

      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.
