Hair loss



Recommended Posts

It will have been 6 months since my surgery on February 6,2013 and my hair is falling out like CRAZY. I know some loss is to be expected, but this is drastic. I take Vitamin B1 thiamin. Is there anything else I can do??????

To avoid Hair loss you need to get a minimum of 65 grams of Protein daily and take Biotin. I also take a high dosage of b-12 but the most important is gettting in the protein !!!! My surgeon was very firm about that, I am 10 months post op and not losing any hair.< /p>

I am getting a minimum of 65g of Protein a day and my hair is still falling out in clumps. I've always had thick hair and now it's noticeably thin. I'm going to try Biotin. I'm desperate. My surgeon said that its not a Vitamin deficiency that going through the surgery causes your hair to go on the same dying cycle when I usually is random.

All regarding the Nioxin shampoo/conditioner, I have Alopecia (a Hair loss disease) and have been told over and over to try the Nioxin however it makes your hair fall out before you get better...just saying from experience you may want to try getting your Protein and Biotin in...

I've always had lots of hair..., until NOW! Had surgery 4/2/13 and have had NO trouble until last month, handfuls of hair coming out. Take Protein, b-12 nasal, Biotin, GNC wellness pill for women and my Vitamins. How long before anyone noticed a regrowth period. Wondering if I should cut my hair short short or hope for the best. No noticeable change to anyone but me, with brushing hair or shampooing. My hair is chin length. Hmmm please give me hope!

Surgery 4/30 here. Lush hair gone and thinning straw hair. I loved my hair but don't know if I should cut mine off too. Taking all my meds as I should and Biotin too. Idk..I guess I can always be grateful as there are wigs and extensions. I would shave it bald tho if it means getting this weight off

      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.
