Hair Loss Help?

I'm lucky to have super thick long hair but it started to come out in large amounts in the shower about 2 weeks ago! What are some tips for stopping this horrifying trend???

Ughh darling Im going thru the same crap! I also have extremely thick hair as well. But winters coming and straight hair season has arrived . i try to wash it as little as possible. Thats when I find I loose the most. They have dry Shampoo as well I use that alot. Best of luck to you I hope both our hair stays on our head where it belongs.

6 months out and I am about in tears. My hair is shoulder length and I'm thinking about getting a medium BOB just to even it up. I do take Biotin everyday and I can see the start of some new hair growing in. Be sure to take your Vitamins and a Calcium replacement. This seem to work for me. Good luck! :)

Fish oil. Take fish oil. The post op diet doesn't contain enough good fats and that causes hair loss. And itchy skin.

GNC carries a fish oil called Coromega. It is a gel pack and alot easier to take than those big pills.

Try a high quality Protein like Unjury, that should help.

      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.
