Anybody lose just a little hair?



Recommended Posts

I am seeing more and more hair when I wash my hair or run my fingers through it. I don't see big clumps of hair but it is still noticeable.

I am just wondering if this means I should just face the fact that I am going to be one of the ones who has problems with hairloss, or can you have just a slight Hair loss?

I started with a little hair loss at 4 months. By 5.5 - 6 months, I was loosing a lot. So much that my scalp burns being out in the sun, and my part is noticible. I started taking Protein supplements, and 3 weeks after, I've noticed a dramatic decrease in the Hair loss.

I never lost clumps, but I thinned out a lot, as most people report. When I wash and dry my hair, I would have hair in the tub, hair in my brush, on the floor and over my clothes when drying. Each time would make a nice nest for some bird!

In order to keep fullness in my thin hair, I use a good volumnizer.

I believe the Protein supplements really have helped (I just posted a new thread about what is the best way to incorporate these into my diet without jepordizing my weight loss).

Try not to let this get you down, and stay focused on your goal of weight loss. It is temporary and adding protein does help!

Hugs,

JoAnne

I'm at 5 1/2 months out. I've been losing very small amounts of hair. Certainly not clumps. But it has been noticeable to me. But I don't expect it will get worse and I know it is not noticeable to anyone but me.

I got tons of Protein, and took Biotin, zinc and anything else anyone told me to try. I used the Nixosin Shampoo and still lost over half my hair. It sucks, but it's growing back in!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
