Has anyone experienced Hair loss during the liquid diet process?

hair loss can happen with Vitamin deficiencies. I would talk to your surgeon or nutritionist and get a recommended supplement that you can take if you are having this issue. I read an article that stated it was related to B12 deficiency. Hope this helps.

I started using Nioxin a couple of weeks ago to keep the scalp in prime real estate condition. I didn't want to worry about hair loss after surgery. It's been drying out my hair, so I've been applying a wee bit of Moroccan oil on the ends.

I'm T-minus 10 days, BTW.

I take Biotin. I know it's in the daily vitamins... but I just wanted to be extra careful! I was banded on 11/22/10 and I have thick hair. Nothing has changed yet. Good luck!!:rolleyes:

Has anyone experienced hair loss during the liquid diet process?

I have had Hair loss, and thining of the hair, , but I am also a Hairdresser of 17 yrs! I learned that ANY AMOUNT of stress, weight loss, diet change, and medication can cause hair loss. I am like you asking questions and hearing all the scary stories. So, I made an appointment with a nutritionist to get the correct information on what to eat and how much of it, which of course I encourage you to do the same. She told me with the fact that our bodies experience the rapid wieght loss, we will have hair loss,, some more than others. The main issue is to have between 60-80 grams of Protein per day no more or u will not loose weight and might gain. I take in the am a prenatal Vitamin which supplements all other nutrients I don't get, along with a hair, skin and nail supplement from GNC. I try to sip on Water at least 1 qrt of Water during the day along with a whey Protein called BODY FORTRESS I bought at Wally World that is (cheap)low in Sugar and using 2 scoops that equal 52 grms of protein( substitute the water for frozen oj or fat free milk), it is delicious( try to add 1/4 cup sugar free vanilla Syrup). Making sure you get ur protien and exercise will make you feel better and begin to replace the nutrients lost! Good Luck on ur New Journey to a Healthy Lifestyle!

I was losing hair like crazy up to a couple of weeks ago. It was probably due to a summer of poor eating and 2 rounds of fasting for 2 weeks in the fall.

I'm taking Biosil, Biotin and silica and using the Nioxin system. In the last week or so the Hair loss has stopped.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
