How soon after surgery did you notice hair loss? Im only 2 weeks post op and Im starting to see big clumps

I'm African American with locks and 7 months out and if my hair shed it locked and I'm glad to say No loss that I can see. Down 70 pounds which came off slow, maybe that's another reason.

I have short hair and its all natural now so I know Im not crazy lol its alot of hair for now...idk maybe I wasnt getting enough nutrition during my pre-op and liver reduction diet? Ive been doing the same hair care regimen Ive always done. Idk it doesnt look like Im losing hair...yet at least so Imma try not to worry but if it gets back I'll be buying a wig lol

My Hair loss really kicked in at 3 months. It was devastating. I expected it but it was more than I had imagine. I think it's slowing down or maybe I'm just hoping. I'm taking Biotin, multi, all of it. I'm also using henna and auryvedic herbs. Good luck.

Yea I thought I was ok and ready for it too until I saw that travesty in the shower today! and for it to be soo soon... O well i rather lose the hair and the weight instead of nothing at all I have to keep telling myself its only for a few months and then it will grow back.

I'm sorry about your loss, but you are in excellent company! I really started to notice the loss at 2 months. No clumps, but it was thin to begin with. There are 2 freckles showing through the top of my scalp, and I'm rocking a comb-over to hide them. Yikes! On the positive ride, people are too entranced with my cute butt to notice!:-) hee hee!

That seems REALLY early to be experiencing that type of loss. Did you have a very long preop? I had a lot of Hair loss prior to surgery but it was because I ate a ton of crap and hardly any Protein. The loss I'm experiencing now is directly related to the surgery so im praying that with my greatly improved nutrition and high protein intake it will come back.

      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.

      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.
