Best Chewable vitamins to fight hair loss



Recommended Posts

Biotin is what my NP recommended for me; I don't know that it comes in chewable form, but it does come in a sublingual form. Also, be sure to take your bariatric mulitvitamin. I'm sure that helps too.

Biotin, but there are some conflicting reports of it not actually doing anything (I still take it daily).

It's important to note that Hair loss can be caused by stress and not a deficiency in Vitamins as well. The stress associated with a major surgery can cause your body to pump out hormones that cause our hair to enter a "resting" phase. So, it's possible that no matter what you take, it won't have an actual effect on your potential hair loss. I'm hoping against hope that I don't lose anything, it's taken me quite a while to get my hair where it is now... and I don't want to lose a bunch of the beard either!
Good luck!

"telogen effluvium has to do with stress to the body and hormonal changes that can occur. Due to the stress more hair follicles can enter into the resting phase. This is important because the hair in the resting phase at the time of surgery is most likely the hair you will shed. This is why your hair sheds between 1 to 6 months after surgery (usually about3 to 4 months). When the hair starts to grow again the old hair follicle is released and you lose hair. Sometimes the hair comes out before new hair grows, yikes!"

I haven’t had any Hair loss (6months). My nutritionist attributes it to hitting my nutrition goals (protein). I do take 2 chewable Centrum complete Vitamins daily, Vitamin D, B12, Calcium and they test us every couple months for nutrition labs. I also started Biotin maybe 2 months ago due to breaking finger nails (it helped), so that could be a factor.

I haven’t tried them but I see a lot of people online raving about these Sugar Bear Vitamins.

There are dissolvable Biotin pills, I just ordered mine off of Amazon

Thanks, good to know. I have pretty thick hair, but I don't want to lose any of it.

      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! 😞
