Help me please! I'm losing my hair



Recommended Posts

It just depends on you sweetie. Everyone is different. I have friends who consume 100 grams of Protein daily and have had horrible Hair loss, while I barley consume the minimum of 40-50g and take 10,000mcg of Biotin and haven't lost any. I do know that African American woman have it the roughest just because they are generally very rough on their hair to begin with. So I would not mess with it if you can help it. Get it pulled up and leave it alone. Start taking biotin. It will pass. The worst is usually from month 3-6.

I've been experiencing a lot of Hair loss. Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to stop this madness and how long does this last?

you need at least 60 grams of Protein each day. Low protein causes problems with hair and nails

do you know what dosage the GNC brand is? I paid 5.00 for 3,000 mcg tabs 60 in a bottle. I think GNC's deal may be better. Let me know. Thanks

that link takes you to where it says 30,000 mcg per 2 tablets

      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.
