Hello! I had surgery about 7 months ago and for the past month have been experiencing extreme hair loss. I'm terrified to brush it because of the clumps that come out! I get all my Protein in and take my Vitamins plus 5,000 mgs of Biotin a day. The only thing I'm not taking on a daily basis is my Calcium Citrate. I know how important they are I've just been slacking and now keep them at work so I have no excuses not to take them. Could being deficient on my calcium cause such extreme hair loss? I see postings by others with hair loss but not this far out from having surgery. Can I please get some input on this?

I'm getting most of my Protein from shakes. Eating is like a chore, so I opt to get more than half of the 60 grams of protein my doctor recommends from the shakes. I haven't had bloodwork done since February, I'm due for this next month. Thank you so much for your input. I will definitely try to cut the shakes out and try to actually get the protien from food.
