I'm about 4 months post op. No Hair loss but my nails are getting thin. Any suggested supplements?

(I'm hitting my Protein goals - will work on increasing but hitting the minimum required by my doc)

Try Biotin. This seems to work for me.

Exceed your Protein goals but really...

A lot of it is just temp as your body changes. My nails are usually super strong I have a few months where they were thin, and now they are back being like talons. Nothing special done.

Whenever you have your follow up blood work ask your provider to also check your thyroid labs

Its good to know that its probably temporary. Will work on increasing my Protein. If it gets really bad, I'll try the Biotin.

Thanks.

I've been taking Biotin since day one because I heard it might help with the potential Hair loss.

7 months post op and my hair is finally coming back in. i faithfully took Biotin and it didn't help prevent my Hair loss at all. I lost a whole lot of it and now I have a poofy head of baby hairs coming out all at once:-) I do still take Biotin as I did notice nails are healthier and stronger. I hope this also helps with healthy Hair growth. I wish it would have worked with the fall out. Now I'm sporting a cute short haircut so my baby hairs can catch up.

I started Biotin already in prep for surgery in a few months.

      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! 😞
