Pre-Op Diet And Hair Loss

I started my pre-op liquid diet on Saturday 9/15, my surgery is set for 9/26. I have been doing great so far and have dropped 17lbs, but my hair seems to be falling/coming out significantly more than it has in the past. Its only been noticebly more since starting the diet. I have been taking my Vitamins and thought this was supposed to help prevent something like this.

I want to lose weight not my hair!

Has anyone had this problem, and if so was there a specific Vitamin you took or something you did to help?

I didn't have this problem pre-opt. I started loosing my hair 3 months post op. But I had started taking biotin and silica to help with hair regrowth and now my hair grows so fast I have to see my hair dresser more often to dye the grays. There really isn't anything to stop the hair loss, but remember, it grows back and it's a very short period of time. :)

Same here more hair falling then norm. We have the same day :) I hate this 2 week diet. What I am working on is more sleep and in take of 64 oz of water and protein. Hope it helps the nut said it will we will See :)

Biotin is amazing! I started using it last month, my surgery will be in December or Janurary. I want to have a lot of hair, so if I loose much after surgery I wont look too scary!
