You need to get in more Protein and try Biotin. You need to get in 60-90 grams of Protein daily but need to be closer to 90 in order

Hit the send button too quickly.

70-90 grams daily will help to slow down and stop hair loss. Good luck to you.

Protein PROTEIN PROTEIN....That is what you have to focus on....they say this starts bout 2 months out and you started to eat more variety and not getting in all the protein that your body needs to maintain...good luck

My nut said they don't know why this happens. I get enough Protein and mine is coming out a little not a lot. I started using frutis Shampoo and conditioner made for losing hair. It seems to be helping.

I have read any kind of surgery is a shock to the body and can result in Hair loss 3 to 6 months later. I think all we can do is get enough Protein and Vitamins and ride it out. I'm sure not looking forward to it because my hair is so thin and fine already. Ugh

Same here...it's so depressing!!! Doctor says it will stop once you stabilize your weight. I'm doing biotin...he said that doesn't help m

I am 4 months out and getting in Protein and yet I am losing my hair like crazy, as in I am getting concerned, and it looks terrible. I had very thick hair to begin. When will it subside?

I am thinking of getting hair extensions for thickness at least. I allready talked to my hairstylist about it.

Will the extensions cause more damage to your hair? I am just curious. I would do it if it didn't hurt my hair.

If extensions are placed properly there should be no damage to your hair

It happens to most & at varying degrees, according to my dr & nut. Protein is crucial - and I struggle with it. I am taking 10000 Biotin and even prenatal Vitamins. I started using Biotin/Collagen Shampoo & conditioner (purple bottle Organix - Walmart). I started styling my hair less and using little to no products on my hair. My hair is all I got...and I dread this more than anything.

The good thing? I've yet to read one post from anyone on this site & another site from anyone who claims it didn't grow back...everybody says it will grow back...just may be a different texture or even color.

Best of luck to all of us with this!

I had never heard of a persons hair growing back a different color! Cats yes, my black cat had ringworm and the naked spots grew in white.

      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.
