I’ll be a year out on Saturday. I’ve lost 82 lbs so far. I’m proud of myself. I had the Sleeve done.

Feel free to ask any questions

Congratulations!! It’s normal for the hair to come out. Mine started at three months out. It grew back thicker which is a good thing. I take all my vitamins and biotin too. Some people get lucky and don’t have hair loss.

When you have a stall, your body is playing catch up. Don’t stress over it. It’s normal too. If you continue to stall try increasing your protein. I had do this. Hope this helps

Thank you so much for your reply! It’s comforting to know that! Do you increase your intake in protein with shakes or just eating things with protein? I did start trying to increase my protein with an extra shake. I felt like I was getting about 64g of protein a day, which is what my Dr suggested.

Did you lose your hair? I’m so scared... my hair had been really growing nicely, and now all of a sudden every time I run my fingers through my hair I have several strands between my fingers. My hair was looking so pretty and long, and I just don’t want it falling out. I have been using Nioxin shampoo since before surgery (gastric sleeve and hiatal hernia repair), which was on 9/11/17, and I’ve also been taking biotin, zinc, B12, and also I take my multi vitamin twice daily and calcium, as well as my iron, omprazole, and also started taking a collagen to help with hair, skin, joints, etc. The collagen is supposed to help hair, but it’s been since I started taking it that I’ve noticed my hair coming loose. [emoji20] Also, I’ve been at a standstill for about two weeks with no weight loss. Please help! Thank you!! Congratulations on your weight loss!!

I had surgery Jan this year. Almost a year out. Yes you will loose your hair but it's temporary. I have long thick, curly hair and I am horrified BUT you MUST Buy Keranique !! Monthly subscription l! Not kidding after the first month my hair was so full! Couldn't tell I had hair loss and as the months go on my hair will start to grow back and it is two months and I see the difference. I went to a dermatologist and he said don't worry it will grow back.

I also take Sugarbear gummy vitamins. So tasty and proven results. It's for hair.

I am almost a year out and I am down from 230 to 142!!!! After about the 7 month I was able to eat a little more but get full fast! I am sooo glad I did it. I feel so healthy and thin! I struggle making good choices at times and my old habits come back sometimes but I just think back and look at fat pictures and I set myself straight. I never want to be that way again. I look at a friend who had surgery two years and she gained a lot of weight. I so don't want that.

Hi, Did you buy the Keranique vitamins or the scalp serum??

I am one year out as of November 28th, and hair loss is a product of not enough protien. Add more protien into your diet and your hair, nails and eyes will become stronger than ever.

How did you overcome constripation.

I didn’t do anything special

How did you overcome constripation.

I took a stool softener and fiber pills for a few months.

I’m only 5 feet

Congratulations on a year and a wonderful weight loss. Dec 18 will be mine. Could you recommend a protein shake. There are so many to choose from.

Before surgery I was drinking Unjury or Ensure protein. After surgery my taste changed. I couldn’t drink either one. After a couple of months I found Lean 25 at GNC. I love them. I got my sister hooked on them too

I had to increase my protein with food. For three months after surgery I couldn’t stomach the shakes. They all tasted chalky to me

You are very welcome. My doctor suggested 60g for me

I got bad news from my Doctor....she said there is NOTHING I can do about the hair loss and suggested I cut my hair!! She said no Biotin or vitamins is going to stop the hair loss. I cried. I will not cut it. She said it is going to get very very thin. I have very thick hair so am praying..... I just order keranique serum and hope that this helps.....
