Well I'm almost three month out and it started the dreaded Hair loss. I have always had long hair and cannot picture me with short hair. I tey and wear it up all the time so I won't be leaving hair all over my house. My weightloss has been phenomenal. 55 lbs gone forever. Anyways my question is if I start taking these pills for hair and nails. Will it work a bit? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

First of all congratulations on such a significant weight loss!! (I'm still in the waiting the game).

From everything I've read, I understand hair loss to have a connection with not enough Protein?

Ya I think that has to do with it as well. But I'm not sure my nut said don't measure or count just eat. And one shake a day should be fine. So I eat only protien things. Ofcourse with this tiny pouch I cannt even finish eating 1egg. But I feel great. Everything is starting to seem normal.

Well it WILL help the supplement maker turn a profit! I think (also) that it's protein! Most need a minimum of 60 grams after sleeving (at least for a while).

I was told the Hair loss is from the shock your body took to have surgery. It has to do with the chemicals in your body it switched to say its time to shed. That's why it isn't permanent lost. But yeah I think to help new Hair growth is to take your Vitamins and up your Protein.< /p>

The Hair loss is definitely from the lack of Protein. My girlfriend was not getting enough protein andit happened to her. I drink protein to go which has 28g of protein in 2oz. I drink it in my water bottle with half bottle of Water. I tried Protein Shakes but nothing agreed with my stomach....I drink 2-3 of these bottles everyday...which is between 56-84 g of protein a day.....it goes done so easily and thank GOD I haven't experienced the hair loss....prayerfully it will be kept at bey.....good luck....BTW....the Protein to go is also reasonably priced at 3.00 per bottle....I get mine whenever there on groupon.....I have enough to last till October....don't laugh....

      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! 😞
