Make sure you're getting 70-100 grams of Protein daily. Your body can only absorb 25 grams of protein in one sitting. This is where many people fail in getting enough protein. They think if they drink two bottles of Protein Drinks that have 60 grams each that they are getting their protein in. NOT TRUE!
The second most common symptom of protein deficiency is Hair loss.< /p>
Also, my hair dresser swears by the Vitamin, Biotin to strengthen hair. It can be found at any drug store.

I have posted on this topic MANY times. I had VERY thin hair for years. In my profile pic I was already rocking the Topik hair fibers. Post op yes, things got a lot worse. ( I have several things working against me in regards to hair loss) All of my post op pics are of me wearing a wig. Yes, I went the full wig route. It wasn't so much of a choice but necessity. Anyway, I took a while to adjust to it mentally because it is a hard thing. But I will tell you I would rather have the body I am working on now than the hair I had then. ( and the style is WAY cuter than my real hair was!)

I was thinning on top...yes, it's thinner now. I started losing at 2 months and it's continued to now, 6 months.
I love the Toppik product as well - I use it every day. Look it up - it really does work how the videos show it does. It even fooled my hair dresser. I had to go with a short cut to hide some of the loss.
I will say - I wouldn't 2nd guess my decision to the have surgery, even now, knowing how much hair I've lost. It's shocking and it sucks, but I'll take it. I'm so much better off today.

I had pretty thin hair to begin with that you could could see my scalp more than most by my part. Since WLS it has gotten much worse. ( I am 4.5 months out) I will say I have discovered toppix and it has made the unsightly loss more manageable personally. Despite the great weight loss results, losing my hair in this much quantity hasn't done wonders for my self esteem, so I am so glad someone on here told me about this awesome product.

I am still pre-op also but am a vegetarian, and plan to stay that way. If you eat eggs, milk, Beans, spinach, yogurt, nuts, it's all good sources of Protein on top of the shakes. I also am scared for Hair loss but I hear it grows back.
