I am hoping mine start doing that. I have been out is due to protein but idk

Are you taking your vitamins? Ever since I started takin my vitamins my nails are long hard and strong. They used to be brittle and soft.

no I don't take biotin. And yes I take my vitamins but I've been takin them for about 6 months now I'm only 13 weeks post op. But I'm just now noticing my nails.

I've noticed the same thing with myself and my hair looks very healthy also. I've been meeting my protein goals since 1 month post op and I'm almost 4 months post op. I haven't lost any hair and haven't experienced any thinning (knock on wood). I still drink 2 protein shakes a day and get around 100+g of protein a day. Oh and I don't take biotin because I heard it will make you grow some unwanted hair and I already see an electrolysis every 2 weeks to get rid of the couple of strands on my chin :/
