My hair will NOT stop falling out!



Recommended Posts

My scalp is showing and my hiar is baby fine now...Im a lil over 90 days post op and my hair has been falling/thinning out for about 8 weeks now...

I take my vitamins--biotin, mulivitamin, B12, fish oil vit D, Calcium cheww---Im scared to wash my hair because my hair brush gets so full of hair...

I am eating my Protein a minimum of 60 grams a day to upwards of 100 grams a day...

I had bloodwork done last week ===the dr did check all my Vitamin levels, including my Protein levels--all my numbers are

in the normal range..

I eat about 900 a day...since my hair started for fall out Dr. up my cals for minimum 1200 calories a day

What did you do when your hair stared to fall/thin out?

Should I get a weave or plug-in onto my scalp? I have no idea where to go..

Hang in there, it WILL stop. Not a whole lot you can do but accept it. Wear lots of fun headbands. Get some clip in extensions. Invest in some fun hats. (it's getting cold and you can get away with some wintery hats, no?) Remember you knew this could happen going in to the surgery, and you were willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to reach your goal. This is just a bump in the road to a brilliant new you.

      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.
