not enough protien.. try to get in 45-50 grams a day even if you have to drink a protien shake.. that will help the hairloss

Lots of us bandsters lost hair right after surgery...I think it is a combination of things, anasthesia, lack of Protein, lack of fat in your diet...Once your body adjusts it does get better...my Hair loss is very minimal now 16 months post op

It's all about protien baby! I've been neglecting my protien count whilst counting calories like a mad woman and my hair is falling out as well. Back to protien for me! I'm over a year out, so it can happen to anyone who's not getting enough protien :)

I have also been losing a lot of hair lately but everyday I count my protien and I am getting at least 70 grams a day. ????????/ I don't know what's going on with me? Will anything else cause this. I am getting 1500-1700 calories a day as well. Thanks

I lost a heap of hair after surgery. Only within the last month has it really stopped falling out. I've also increased my Protein a good bit within the last month though, so I'm not sure if its that, or if its because of the surgery, for me.

      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.
