Since I haven't had any hair loss yet, I will absolutley continue to listen to my surgeon vs. people on this site who seem to want to stroke their ego that they know more than an educated friggen surgeon. Absolutely ridiculous!

@@Babbs So you've tried taking Biotin, Zinc and Omega 3 and it didn't work??? I will have to let my surgeon know that he's full of shit bc this woman on BP is a hair loss expert.

My surgeon told me that if I get all my Protein in daily and my Vitamins I shouldn't lose my hair, but if I started to notice hair loss to take Biotin, Zinc and Omega 3 everyday. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

@@elliemac22 He didn't give me a specific number but at the time I was getting 600-700 calories and I added another 300 calories.

I was going through the same thing and my surgeon told me to increase my calories and sure enough, the lbs started falling off. Not getting in enough calories your body is holding on to what it has. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm three months out from surgery, following a low carb diet and when I get a sweet tooth, Quest Cravings cure that. They taste like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Calories 240, Protein 20, Carbs 4. Also, their Protein Bars are really good!!! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on June 28th and once I was out of the liquid stage I have been following a low carb diet because it was the easiest sure way I knew I would get my Protein in. I limited my carbs to 20 carbs/day) and the weight and inches have been falling off. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I really don't understand how?? My best friend is eight years out from surgery eats anything she wants in moderation doesn't exercise and is still at her goal weight. I've seen her eat it's just like she's had surgery. Three to four bites and she's stuffed. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I went through the same thing and my surgeon told me to increase my calories/protein and sure enough I started dropping again. Your body is trying to hold on to what little intake your feeding it. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

A real man would be supportive. Shouldn't he be happy you want to get healthy and look good for him, instead of acting like an immature boy. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
