My Nails Won't Grow?!?



Recommended Posts

My nails and cuticles used to grow SO FAST that I'd have to get manicures every 5 days. It's been three weeks and nothing has moved. Has anyone had this problem? Do they start growing back again later?

Are you getting enough protien? Are you sick of people asking you that? :-) Seriously, Hair loss and nail growth could be a sign of not enough Protein.< /p>

I always think I'm getting enough but I must not be. It's amazing how many things go wrong with a lack of protein!

BigToeVSG is correct about the Protein... also, take another look at your Vitamin intake. Are you getting enough?

I know that when I was on prenatal Vitamins both times I had my kids, my nails grew like crazy. Some of that could be pregnancy hormones but my kids' nails also grow like crazy, and they take special chewable children's Vitamins with Omega-3, Probiotics, etc etc.

My nails also have been growing a little more postop but I tend to bite them off. Bad habit.

I use Biotin 5,000 mcg 4x per week. It helps with my hair and finger/toe nail growth/re-growth A LOT!! I get mine from GNC, dry capsule form.

I have a weird problem with my hair (head, legs, facial) growing CRAZY fast, and my nails need clipped every week or sooner, and my dense self finally figured out that the Biotin was what was making them all grow so fast lol!! Between the Protein, Vitamins and Biotin, you would think that I would have figured that out sooner...and the needing to shave your legs every day kinda stinks!! Maybe you should up your vitamins and protein?? My nut told us that we shouldn't need the Biotin, but I figured it wouldn't hurt. My hair falls out in handfulls now, so I'm kinda glad I had already started it. Good luck!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
