I was losing clumps of hair. Having always had such beautiful, long, thick, wavy hair I wanted to cry when I brushes or washed it. I currently eat very little r/t my gall bladder needing to come out. My Protein intake is in the toilet. I try and drink milk by the gallon;) cause it stays down. Anyway, I've been taking Biotin. I've tried the shampoos. Nothing is working. Then I cut my hair from just above my butt to my shoulders. And now the falling out has slowed up drastically. Im guessing taking some of the weight off the follicles has helped.

I switched from a regular Multivitamin to prenatal and my hair looks amazing. My hair is my vain pride, I wasn't about to play with it. Long, gorgeous red, thick, and ringlet curls. I love my hair! A lot of people think you can only take a prenatal before you have a baby. But if you aren't expecting, all the extra nutrients are absorbed into your hair, skin, and nails. If you read the label its a Multivitamin with a few added supplements. I went this route instead of with Biotin because it eliminates the extra med a day. Also if you take your Vitamins at bed time they absorb better.

My hair stylist told me to take prenatal Vitamins way before I had surgery because I have weak hair and nails. What brand do you use? Where did you buy them and for how much?

I was severely anemic so I've been taking prenatal Vitamins instead of Multi Vitamins since 6 weeks post op. I've have minimal hair loss and I'm no longer anemic. So I to advocate the prenatal Vitamins.< /p>

I take vitafusion prenatal. They are gummies. They taste awesome! I got them at wal mart and 1 bottle lasts 45 days and is about $10.

Prenatal Vitamins are free at a lot if pharmacies with a prescription. My surgeon wrote me a script for a year. Really helps with the cost of supplements...

      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! 😞
