I think my hair is starting to fall out. I get my Proteins in, Vitamins and Biotin :-(

Yep, and so it begins! LOL Biotin and silica is great for hair regrowth, but doesn't really help too much for preventing Hair loss. Don't worry because it will grow back. I read that we could loose up to 33% of our hair. Some do, and some don't. You will be fine, your hair will just look a little thinner, but your be pretty skinny. Yayyyy! ;)

Omg!! I tried everything to prevent this and my hair has and is still falling out. I just started to notice shedding at first which was barely noticeable and then it became worse. My hair is so thin now I'm contemplating just cutting it into a pixie cut once I loose more weight.

Ok what was your Protein intake 3 months ago? From what I've read, it takes that long to show in your hair, etc. So you might do well now, but if you struggled 3 months ago, well there ya go. Or so I've read (as I've been struggling... a LOT).

It's just hair though girl. Thank god there are options nowadays.... or so I tell myself now whenever I've struggled and worry about 3 months from now lol.

I have a huge, thick, natural Afro that I have enjoyed growing out for the past 6 years...I would like to keep all of it! Lol! But, I regularly wear weave & braids and I'm willing to sacrifice SOME of my beautiful 'fro in exchange for the wonderful life I have now! :)

I was told to use Nioxin. My hair dresser said to start it before surgery because it takes a month to start working. Nioxin Shampoo helps prevent Hair loss and it helps with Hair growth. I'm going to defiantly give it a try.

I drank soo many Protein Shakes, even found a bar with 20 gm of Protein per single serving! Hair loss is inevitable and one of the main reasons i put off this surgery. You absolutely cannot get a sleeve or any WLS and not expect hair loss. Your body can't absorb protein the way it used to do we are always going to be lacking which is why we have to take all the supplements, etc. The great thing about hair is it does grow back. I reached the point where I was much more concerned about my health than my hair!

My doc told me to do a round of zinc Vitamins. Just one bottle. My hair is falling out too. I also bought some salon Shampoo called K-pec reconstruction so my new baby hairs will be nice and strong. I'm not working this summer so if i can keep my hair through vaca I won't go totally insane, but it has increased from just when I wash. Then wash and comb and now it's all over me All the time.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
