Jenn- If my Hair loss continues for another 5 months' date=' I'll be bald! Has yours slowed any?[/quote']

Yes..there was a week in dec i would cry...now i see a huge difference in the amount. Its about half what i was losing before and barely in the shower. I mostly see it when i dry my hair. Used to be hufe clumps in the shower and on my brush and when i dried my hair. Hang in there you wont go bald.

NEWGMA_-I love u sooo much!! You are right! Exercise is key for me too. I did have my hubby bring in the treadmill but unfortunately, now it is holding back packs and jackets! LOL.

Just curious about Hair loss.

Please respond if you are experiencing hair loss and if prior to surgery you were on a liquid diet or low carb?

For myself

Very little hair loss and no liquid diet. I low carbed for two weeks prior to surgery.

I was on a two week liquid diet before and have had lots of hair loss. Only noticable to myself tho.

NO Teatimed' date=' not at all. It is worse!! I get scared that it is going to all fall out. When I comb my hair and wash it gobs fall out. I have pretty thick hair and I only notice a little on the part and no one else notices but it has to stop soon or I will have to get that spray on stuff, ha ha.[/quote']

newgrandmother, that's so funny. I saw my Dr on Monday and she said I've got slightly too much Calcium in my urine (TMI sorry) and it could lead to kidney stones. She said to cut back on cashews, almonds and peanuts. Those were my go to Snacks at work. So, I decided to try beef Jerky instead. So far so good. I have a low fat, low sodium teriyaki flavor that I like. A little bit goes a long way, by the time I finish chewing it I'm no longer hungry.

I'm almost 5 months out, yes, I'm losing some hair but not enough to make me worried. I don't dry it with a blow dryer or use any product on it (my fantastic hairdresser helped me find a style that allows me to do this), so maybe that helps? I'm taking 5000 mg of Biotin twice a day and using Nutrix Shampoo and conditioner.

I use MFP to track my Protein and calories, I usually get well over 50 g of protein a day.

[newgrandmother 725]

velna lol. i am almost5 months out also and i had trader joes Jerky it was to soft i need the hard one like you had so i will get some from 7 eleven or something.

Teatimed, I was sleeved 9/10 and just started to shed!!! I have gotten my Protein in and it is still happening. I take my Vitamins along with Biotin and zink but I shed anyway ;(! My nut said there really isn't much you can do about it but rude it out . Should stop by 9 or 10 months out! I don't have a lot of hair to begin with.....

[teatimed 23]

Ibehere, in 9 or 10 months I'll be bald! Let's hope it stops sooner rather than later.

I've also been taking my Vitamins, but I'm still shedding!

[newgrandmother 725]

wow yall scaring me now. i havent started shedding, now im scared
