    Blood in stool 3 days post op-tmi

    This happened to me, too. Like many others, I was told to watch the color, and if it went red, then I was to worry. Mine stayed a purple/black color and eventually just all came out and the stool turned the regular shade of brown. Like the others have said, watch the color and check for other signs like feeling light-headed, nauseated, etc.

    Hair Loss!

    When my hair started falling out, I started taking the Biotin like you have, but I also started using Nutri-Ox Thinning Hair system, a series of shampoo, conditioner, and hair regrowth formula, I found at Sally's Beauty Supply. I also adjusted my supplement schedule to make sure my iron intake wasn't being impacted by coffee, tea, and cocoa (I had no idea those could block iron absorption!). The hair loss started at 4 months post-op, and I just entered month 9 and can definitely tell that not as much hair is falling out. There will still be some that comes out, but it's no longer a scary sight at my shower drain!

    Reclaim Smart Smoothies

    I bought the Reclaim smoothie mixes a few years back when I was weight training and needed something to help with muscle mass and energy levels. I love them! Now that I've had my surgery, I'm using them as well for supplements. You're right -- they don't taste particularly like a protein shake. They're more like a treat.
