Hair supplements

Hi there, 

I now find my hair falling out or coming out when I bru****

Do you know of any good hair supplements to stop or prevent more hair from falling ?

Thanks,

Jen 

I USE BIOTIN AND HAIR SKIN AND NAIL FOR 2 YRS. NOW AND NO ISSUES WITH EXTRA HAIR ON PARTS OF ME. SOMEONE ON HERE GAVE ME A HARD TIME LAST TIME I SUGGESTED IT BUT MY HAIR IS LONG AND SHINY FALLS OUT A LOT LESS NOW.

Just keep your protein up. Not a lot really works. It will stop. Mine grew back curly

I'm eating more protein now. I'll see how it goes. Maybe if I have to I'll try the biotin. 

Thanks for your replies!

Hi There 

I have my appointment with my doc next week to get my referral. I'm new to this and have been following your journey so far.  Besides the issue with your hair are there any other issues or regrets?  I hope your feeling well.

No no regrets. But I was doing the "food funerals " before optifast.  Had I tried to cut out carbs much earlier,  I would be easier now to not crave carbs, especially during optifast. 

I look at myself now and say to myself,  "how did I let myself get this big". I have lost. total of 33 lbs so far an feel much better! Even though I can only eat a very little,  I feel full. I still crave carbs, but I think of getting healthier and that's my goal.

Any regrets? No, I would do over again. I still have some pain off and on. My stomach feels heavy sometimes an non Friday I was vomiting.  I went.bak on domperidone to help the vomiting  (as I had gastric emptying delay before surgery due to diabetes. So back on it for a month a trial. Dr says he doesn't think it's the gastric emptying delay  he thinks it was just the food). But even after this, I would still do it again. My pants are.all big on me now. But it's still ok with a belt so I'm not buying anything yet. And now my wedding band and engaging ring fits again. Yayyy!

I wish you luck on your journal and hope your surgery goes well if this is what you decide to do.

Well done so far Jen, good job.  I have been doing some food funerals myself,lol.  Start the Opti on Friday, getting nervous now. Glad to hear u are doing well .

Thanks Elliebear!  I hope you bought some extracts for the optifast. You start optifast Friday,  that means your surgery is coming close! So excited for you! 

I don't normally like extracts but I did buy banana and will see how it goes. I just bought all chocolate forgetting I should have got some vanilla for coffee :(  ah well  Yes surgery is April 29th, getting nervous.

I preferred chocolate over vanilla.  Mint also goes well with chocolate and also sugar free jello powder -taste like blackforest cake.

Wishing you good luck on your surgery!  Let me know how it goes if we don't talk before.
