Are you going bald? Or just losing hair? My doc told us in the seminar that we'd all lose at about 3-6 months out, that nothing (protein Biotin yada yada etc) would really help (they'd done studies) that it seems tied to the stress of surgery/weight loss, and that within 2-3 months after the start it will stop. he said he's never had a patient that needed a wig or hair piece. Mine fell out and I thought it was TONS but my hairdress of 20 years (this woman knows my hair better than I do) never could tell. It quit and is fine. So unless you are really going bald, I wouldn't worry about it. You may of course ask your surgeon to be sure.

I was banded in Jan. My friend who was banded the year before also lost a lot of her hair. She warned me not to loose the weight too fast. She told me to go onto a multi Vitamin called SUPRADYN. Brilliant stuff . You put it into half a glass of Water and drink it. They include Vitamins, minerals and trace ellements. This is something you can start now. But also see your doctor. Has your Hair loss just started since your op. Also are you a man or a woman? Might be just a coincidence!:purplebananna: Hope this helps. Ke

      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.
