I'm feeling sad today. I'm losing my hair. Just about a week ago it started falling out.. It just comes out in clumps consistently. Does anyone have any advise? Or when it stops/comes back?

How's your Protein intake? You look great btw!! Keep up the good work! I haven't had surgery yet but I purchased hair products called aphogee and hairobics and they both have protein in them. You can purchase these products online!!

Look into E3LIVE. My mother had the same issue a few years back and she swears by E3live. My surgery is scheduled for Sept 3rd and I plan to start taking it as soon as I can.

losing my hair. - comes out in clumps consistently.

@@Nickole75

i was told to take Biotin - its a capsol (msp?)

i spoke with my hairdresser and she adviced me to continue to use it - it is supposed to be good for you

"normal" people take it too!!!

i have very short, thin hair

"maybe" a couple of spots got a "little" thinner - but nothing really

i'd rather be bummed about my hair for a LITTLE while - then be fat for a LONG while

for a couple of months years ago i lost my hair to cancer

again, i would rather be bald for a LITTLE while - then have breast cancer

bw - think about all the money you save on Shampoo ;)

good luck

kathy

Mine started falling out about 5 months also. I started using nioxin Shampoo and conditioner and at 8 months it is starting to fill back in. I have lots of fuzzy 1 inch growth coming in. I to was sad, depressed and just freaked out after each time I showered or brushed my hair. Keep up your Protein and Vitamins and ride this stage out. It does come back.

Hey Nickole. You look great! How much weight did you lose and how long did it take you to lose it? You should probably update your profile because it still says that you've only lost 16 pounds which is obviously incorrect.

I really don't have too much advice for the hair loss issue. I've been taking Biotin daily and trying to keep up my Protein intake. You may want to try a Shampoo that doesn't have sulfates in it. Although my hair isn't falling out it is thinning which is bad because my hair was thin from the beginning. Good luck to you.

Thank you guys for the tips. I'm going to up my Protein and I ordered some Vitamin gummies online today (I hate pills)

As of Wednesday I was 70lbs down. That's in 5months 2 weeks. I'm gonna go update my profile!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
