Hair loss prevention



Recommended Posts

Yes! Before the surgery, I had thin hair and had been taking materna for about 3 months. I noticed lots of baby hair growing which got me excited. I went through with the surgery and totally forgot about materna. I tried different kinds of chewable multi Vitamins, Biotin and Vitamin d. I took 4000 mcgs of Biotin for 6 months and 4 Multivitamins every day for six months. It did not stop my Hair loss or anything. My nails are stronger but nothing for my hair and I am always feeling weak when I am moving around through out the day. This is the second week since I have started materna again and I am feeling very energized. I take one at night and one in the morning. I am very very excited and wish something has clicked in my mind earlier.

It's a prenatal Vitamin available at Canadian stores.

Hi guys,

I'm newly sleeved and I read a lot of the threads for advice and many many folks have reported hair loss due to nutritional changes. My hair grew really thick three years ago when I took prenatal Vitamins and my hormones were different while I was pregnant. I'm sure weight loss causes a shift in hormones too. Any suggestions on something I can take to help my hair stay in my head, and/or keep it strong? I can't take the prenatal they're horse pills! Thanks!

      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! 😞
