      hair - I started loosing hair but Protein shakes like Muscle Milk helped me stop it. I also would be covered in bruises all over my body - it looked scary - dr immediately diagnosed me with Vitamin K

      Try eating your protein not drinking it, u may stand a chance to feel fuller then .. u also dont mention how much fill u have in your band. You tend to lose hair if u have lost a large amount of weig

      4 ounces of tilapia has about 21 grams of protein. That's pretty good! Going to cook some tonight!

Tues I have my second fill and was hoping for restriction! I am freaking here! No restriction, no weight loss and now my hair is falling out!!!!! ($?!$&!?;). That's a deal breaker for me! Taking my multivitamins, calcium, and protein shakes! And I am eating a ton of fish!!! I just can't do this anymore!!! I have four kids to worry about!!!! Wtf!?!?!

    I freaked out too when my hair started coming out. It still is, but I am better now at taking my vitamins and getting more protein. Don't quit. You want so bad to loss the weight just Iike I do. I paid out of pocket for this band and I am determined I am going to be thin. take your vitamins, eat your protein, and please try to decrease your stress. Don't quit..

    I've had this happen. My nutritional it's has put me on bariatric supplements. I take Celebrate Multivitamins once a day and 60 mgs of Celebrate Iron. These are both chewable and taste good. Also has helped hair issue tremendously. I was VERY thin right in front were everyone could notice. Not now.
