SummersGirl 41 Posted October 17, 2012 I wish I knew. I am losing tons of hair. Getting very thin spots on my head Does this stop? Will it grow back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdefabio 73 Posted October 17, 2012 I have the same problem. We should be getting in at least 70 - 80 grams of Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danni 6 Posted October 17, 2012 I heard others say Biotin helps with that...I'm going to stock up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SummersGirl 41 Posted October 17, 2012 Biotin has done nothing for me. Or maybe I'd be more bald? I eat about 55-65g of Protein daily. Before surgery I probably ate 20g per day and I had lots of hair. So what gives? 1 Cresteds Mom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danni 6 Posted October 17, 2012 Oh no please dont tell me that. I will be happy to lose weight but my hair? ?? I did just get a short haircut in preperation...as I have always had long hair....I was hoping that shorter hair would allow me to hide hairloss better but if not...I'll just own it...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twoboysandagirl 109 Posted October 17, 2012 I started to lose my hair at 2.5 months out in fists full. I started to take a supplement (chewable) from GNC called b-beautiful and it helped but not with Hair loss but with regrowth. It is kind of pricey but it goes on sale and I stock up The best part is that it stops and all my hair is back just as it was before. Short time side effect and well worth the healthy life! 4 carpediem2012, COnative, MsVeDub and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COnative 192 Posted October 17, 2012 I have heard from numerous doctors that it will grow back. I am holding them to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SLEEVEDNBEAUTIFUL 42 Posted October 17, 2012 I am at 14 Weeks and just now starting to experience hair loss! Is there something I can take? Any info would be appreciated. I was told to take 28mg of zinc daily along with Biotin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettysleeved1 173 Posted October 17, 2012 Google telogen effluvium. Cliff Notes: It's temporary Literature says zinc (up to 200mg/day helps) Personal experience: I'm 12 weeks out and great with the hair but I eat about 125-130g Protein each day and am diligent about my Vitamins.

Kaj 88 Posted October 17, 2012 HOW do you manage to get 125-130gms of Protein in daily??? I am nowhere near surgery, but was trying to visualize 80gms yesterday and its a pretty stunning amount for a teeny tummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thehappycat 91 Posted October 17, 2012 No one mentioned hair loss to me at all before my surgery. Now it's bugging me. I haven't noticed any Hair loss yet (I'm 2 months out). I'm eating my Protein and taking my multi-Vitamins. Is there still a chance I'll get it? I hope everyone can get their hair back. I know it would freak me out to lose that much hair so quickly.

deekaspor 89 Posted October 17, 2012 It is temporary! I take Biotin, zinc, and use Nioxon Shampoo and conditioner. Myself and 4 of my friends had the sleeve, we all got thin...very thin hair and we all are having it come back, yippee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenb4729 309 Posted October 17, 2012 Hmm, I am 4 1/2 months out and have had zero hairloss. The only Vitamins I take are a multi Vitamin, no extra anything. However, I have very slow growing hair and that is what allowed me to keep my hair during chemo and may be why I haven't experienced the hairloss that others have experienced.
