Biotin is a suppliment that promotes hair and nail growth. some people myself included suffer from thinning hair anywhere from4-9 months out after the surgery. some say it's because your nutrition intake has decreased. some say its'syou body reacting anesthesa. i getine at GNC.< /p>

I have lost 200 lbs and I did it very slowly. I work out drink tons of Water and my genetics have left with me with tons of excess skin.

I had a Tummy Tuck in October. I am planning to get a breast and arm lift, also I need a inner thigh lift. I am one of the unfortunate cases.

It is hard for me to deal with what I look like under my clothes, but at a size healthy I love my life so much more. I had planned for the need for a breast lift and tummy tuck, but not everything else. The hardest thing however, is intimacy. It is a whole different type of insecurity now.

I've yoyo'ed so much I already had a jelly roll, and now that I'm 35 lbs out, it's really saggy and I can't wait to get it cut off. My bat wings have always been bad as well, and actually bug me more than my stomach or thighs.

My jelly roll hangs and gives me a heat/yeast rash constantly, and I've been told there is nothing that can be done until after I have kids since it'd be a waste of money. *lol* So I'm having to wait until then, as much as I hate it.

I'm going to need an arm lift and an inner thigh thift for sure. the rest I could go without doing. but the loose skin drives me NUTS!!!! My friends want to go swimming and I'm so nervous to go because my legs look horrible! the loose skin looks like celulite x100. hahahaha but I did already buy a swimsuit and plan on showing off my new body with or without the extra skin!

      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.
