I have the same thing. I wish the Hair loss would stop, and my scalp weren't so sensitive.

Do u wear your hair back in a pony tail?? Bc that could be another reason as to why

No I make it a point not to. It literally feels like I banged my head and it's bruised. My husband yells that my hair is EVERYWHERE, it's even woven into his uniform lol

I knew the hair falling out was part of the game, but this tender scalp is well tender!

My hair is falling out so bad. I hate even combing it. It is everywhere as well. The dog and I are seeing who can shed the most and I am winning. :(

I'm almost a year out and it is fully grown back. It's still short but no more thin spots. There will be a light at then end of the tunnel!!

Just 2 weeks ago i was going through the same thing. Major tenderness in scalp with scaps. This was due to the major amounts of hair falling out like Water during the shower, then right after shower when i was brushing it then through out the day when i would tug it. Ive always had fine hair and not much hair to begin with so this was a huge problem for me, it was falling at a crazy y rate and in just 1 month think i lost like half my hair. It shows big time on the front and sides.

Since i was sleeved back in Dec, ive drank like 5000mg of Biotin daily, then two weeks ago (after crying my ass off seeing my scalp) i bought these pills called Hair, Skin & Nails. The directions are to drink 1 tablet 3x a day. A drink one after Breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Well this week is the 3rd week and i am starting to see difference. To start with, no more tenderness or scabs and less hair feel out in the shower and during brushing. This week i was even able to blow dry my hair and not much came out. Also when i tug it during the day, about 3-4 strands come out, compared to the bulks that came out before.

I hope i am not jinxing myself for talking too soon but i think these pills are working. Give them a try ASAP. Heres the pic. If you try them f/u with me for results.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
