I did tons of research on telogen effluvium and hairloss regrowth and this one was promising , im not out of the woods yet but im hopeful that this is helping minimize loss (and prayer) so i tell everyone i can.

I started shedding more than normal a couple of weeks ago, at 3 months post op. I take a good Multivitamin, Biotin and adequate Protein, but still started losing my hair unfortunately.

This might be off but I have not had my surgery yet but I have crohns and with this we go through periods of Hair loss as well. It happens with flares I started to take a thyroid supplement postassium iodian and it stopped within a month. I also use monta now and have tons of new growth. Monta is a Shampoo just cost a arm and a leg. I have not had new growth since I was 20 years old. I do not sell monta shampoo I buy from a friend of mine. I been amazed on my body and growth and the fact my hair dose not fall out. I am going to go back on the potassium iodine after surgery to help thyroid support. (I stopped taking it when my hair stopped falling out). With IBD it falls out with flares.

I have hypothyroidism and take Synthroid daily. Sometimes with thyroid disease, you suffer from Hair loss. I've been blessed.

I'm coming up on 6 months out and haven't had any Hair loss. My nutritionist felt like I probably wouldn't because I hit all of the goals (fluid, Protein, taking vitamins) the whole time so far without missing anything more than a couple Calcium pills. Hair growth is normal, the only issue I did have was cracking nails so I took Biotin (starting a month ago) and that helped with the nails. Hopefully the good luck continues!

I had my surgery May 8th. I have not had issues with Hair loss. (Knock on wood) I get between 60 & 75 grams of Protein with my Protein Shakes.

I (like lots of others) thought the Hair loss was something that happened right after surgery. Breathed a sigh of relief that I'd dodged it after 3 months and no loss. Within the last few weeks though, my hair has started to come out. Whahah. :) It isn't awful though and I don't expect to be bald or anything. No one else even notices- it's all between me and the bathroom sink. Well. All of you now too. I've seen Biotin and l-lysine mentioned here, but I also remember my nutritionist mentioning eating zinc rich foods as well to help.

I lost a lot of hair, but since I have seriously thick hair I didn’t worry. It is growing back in now.
A friend of mine was not so lucky but hers is growing back nicely too

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
