This is very common with WLS patients (weight loss patients) because we aren't getting all the nutrients we actually require our hair will suffer for the first 1-3 years Biotin helps and keratin complex serums shampoos etc help but either way your hairs going to thin. I had to cut my hair into a shoulder length bob to lighten the weight and that helped some. Don't waste your $$ on expensive shampoos I did and it was a waste trust me. Target and even Sally's beauty supply sales keratin treatment in single packets that are doable it has all the whey and soy hydro keratin etc. a lot of brands if you read the labels don't have but one type of keratin stay away from those they are a waste.

At the beginning I struggled so bad with Protein shakes! I mean I tried EVERYTHING! And it was ALL nasty... until I found the nectar line made by Syntrax... AMAZING! That is the only thing I can drink!

How did you make it? Did you use Water or milk? Did you add fruits? Which is your best flavor?

At first I started with the vanilla bean torte (tastes like ice cream) and I use milk but my friend uses Water and it is still good. We drive 45 mins to the nearest Vitamin shoppe to get this even though we have like 3 health and Vitamin shops in our town but they dont carry this product. I just finished my morning one now... LOL

Do you add fruits? How many ounces of milk do you add? How much Protein do each of the shakes have? Thanks for answering the other questions

I dont add fruit... I did with all the others to mask the taste of the Protein but Im sure it will taste good with fruit... Actually Im gonna try that! I use about a cup of milk to one scoop (24g of protein) plus the milk I usually count it as 30g for one shake. I can honesty same this is the only Protein Shakes I can drink. I have tried Priemer, Isopure, unjury, the one from GNC people swear by and 5 more but I cant remember the names. I spent thousands of dollars on protein during the first 3 months it was ridiculous.

      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! 😞
