I'm 15 months out, and haven't had any noticeable Hair loss, though I did take some hefty Biotin supplements for several months; I stopped those after I developed kidney stones :laugh:, but haven't suffered any subsequent thinning. And I never had any restrictions on beef.

The Hair loss thing never bothered me because I'm already bald...lol...the no beef thing is a new one on me though...I've never heard of that. I've heard that it may be tough to eat for a while, but that was it... good luck... :laugh:

I think the thinning hair has much to do with what type of hair you have too. Post-op, between the 4-8 month time frame I lost 30-40% of my hair. (thank goodness it is growing back now) I tried everything, and I do mean everything, but nothing helped. I have baby fine straight hair and think that has something to do with how easily it is lost.

As far as the beef/steak thing, It is very hard for me to eat such solid/dense meats. I was warned pre-op that bansters have trouble tolerating steak/roast/pork chops.........

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
