get your B up and your hair will stop falling out. I take liquid B12 complex and love it. I buy it from Puritans pride it is their brand. I just had my levels checked late 10 month post op and they are great. :)

This hasn't worked for me. I get a monthly B12 shot and I take a Multivitamin with Bs every day. I shed like a pine tree.

Hey lady! My hair is a big concern for me too! My hair is like yours now! So you said beta carotene but didnt list how much. Also the Biotin is that 5000 mg or MCG? I can not find anything larger then 5000mcg and that is only 5 mg total. Big I'd like to take the larger doses before anything! If at all possible could you let me know if the bottle says mg or MCG? You rock!

You rock! Thanks for the reply! I wanted to make sure cause I'm very worried about my hair! ;-) what does the beta carotene do? Also have you hear of silica? I've hear people are using that too? I'm on Vitamin D ;-)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
