I would like to follow this thread as well :-)

I am noticing a lot of hair coming out the past couple of weeks.

My Dr. said to double my Vitamins and that would help some. Also continue to keep Protein between 60-80 grams a day. Probably old news for you but just thought I would share JIC....

I was told by a friend that was also sleeved to use RedKen Extreme Shampoo (blue bottle) for a Protein boost. But, I spoke with my hairdresser who is also a dear friend and he said that it doesn't matter because he said the hair loss comes from the lack of Protein from the inside. He used to work for RedKen so he's very knowledgeable about this stuff. He talked to me about using Protein powder on top of eating protein (I'm 17 weeks out).

I started taking Biotin 10 mg a day. I also only use Shampoo about once a month, I use a cleansing conditioner every day, something along the line of wen. I'm only 7 weeks post op, I'm not sure if you are further along than I am. But so far so good.

I just had my NUT appointment, she stressed going for 80+grams of Protein a day, and making sure to get all your Vitamins, and Water in.

I myself am a cosmetologist The Hair loss does come from a lack of Protein on the inside. But I use nioxin 3 step kit to help. It creates a healthy environment for optimal Hair growth. It will not stop it but can help prevent "fall".

Yeah, my doctor told me the same thing.

I'm not actually experiencing Hair loss. I just thought it couldn't hurt to use a better Shampoo & conditioner to help prevent it.

I am trying this stuff with collegian & Biotin in it. I've heard Nioxion is the best though. It's just kinda pricey.

Yes it is. But remember when using professional products a little goes a long way. No reason a kit shouldn't last you 2 months unless you have massive amounts of hair.

Good point! I really had no idea it could last that long. I think I may order some. I just feel like it'd be a smart preventative thing to do.

The day before surgery I bought some Biotin Shampoo and conditioner from GNC. I'm only 3 days out, but I'll have it if I need it.

So I'm seeing that the Hair loss is from lack of Protein? Then where does the Biotin Vitamin come in? I average about,60g Protein per day and just started seeing some loss so started biotin.... Should I just be upping the protein instead?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
