Hair Loss



Recommended Posts

I have been reading that lots of people have experienced hairloss. How can you prevent this ? Is it a loss of nutrients from your diet ? My hais is pretty fine to begin with, I would have none left !

There are lots of threads on Hair loss - we just had one yesterday where people voted on the amount of loss they have had. If you go to the top of the page and search, you will find a lot of information.

Yasmina, I have experienced quite alot of hairloss. I was starting to panic about 2-3 weeks ago, it is still falling out alot but I noticed some baby hairs starting to come back. You hear alot about hairloss, I don't think you can prevent it, if it happens to you. Many say eat Protein, but I don't think that helps, personally. I do know though, if you are one who experiences it, it always comes back eventually. (within the year).

Yasmina, it is good to know and be prepared for. But, it also doesn't happen to everyone.....luck of the draw, I think!! So, don't despair!

You might be in the lucky group and not lose any....or so little that you won't notice!

I've got long but not thick hair also. I really havent lost any.

Of course its likely that I"m just lucky but nevertheless here's how I've done it.

I eat a "normal" diet. No high Protein diet, no low carb, no shakes ever - wholegrain carbs contain important nutrients for skin and hair health. I eat a relatively high number of calories - 1500 per day or so, I rely on running regularly to up my calorie burn and keep the weight coming off. Apart from the initial fast loss, I've settled in to 4lb per month or so, sometimes a bit less.

Perhaps I'm lucky that I can eat that much, and that way and still lose but I really do work hard at my running and can easily burn 800 to 1000 calories in a session.

      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.
