Help having an emotional week

[Nstocker 6]

So I am almost 4 months out and I do lov my body changes. I am down 69 pounds. Woo hoo

In the last few days my nails have been breaking off and Hair loss is in full force . I knew this would happen but it still shocked me a lot. Any suggestions anyone has on how to help this or anything really I would appreciate.

I started with chewable Biotin. I would take 2 a day and then when you start seeing it improve then go down to 1 a day. I started taking it 3 months before surgery for this very reason. My hair was already thin and nails never grew - but after 90 days of this my nails are long and strong and my hair is so much fuller. Hopefully in the 90 days after surgery it wont be to badly affected. However, starting it now will help. It was amazing the changes in just 90 days of taking it. Truly helps.

Congrads on the weight loss. Keep up the good work. Dont let this get you down....Its just a stage and it will pass.

My hair is falling out a lot too. I am afraid to brush it. I have been taking Biotin for a long time. Like 3 or for months pre opt.

I hope this passes quickly.

I started taking Biotin 3 weeks ago...so far no change. Hoping this gets better soon.

What daily Protein have you all been getting in? I am getting about 60 - 70 grams/ day and wondering if I am still going to have trouble with Hair loss.< /p>

[Pixers 26]

I am getting over 70 grams most days. My Dr said to get 85-90. So that is what I have been trying for.

Oh wow Pixars.. I need to work on increasing!

My doctor says you need 8 of Protein a day

My doctor says you need 8 of Protein a day

Did you mean 80 cathurst?

I have been taking Biotin for over a month now and my surgery is on the 8th. I am hoping to not have too much Hair loss because my hair is already extremely thin.

[cathurst812@yahoo.com 13]

Yes I meant 80

[cathurst812@yahoo.com 13]

Sorry for the mistake.

[cathurst812@yahoo.com 13]

Correction 80 grams of Protein

I think it does have a lot to do with your Protein intake and from what I have read, it occurs between 3 and 6 months post surgery.

I would take the Biotin as others have said.

I have to take a weekly dose of chemotherapy and I lose a bit of hair and it seems to help.

I sublingual Biotin and I use biotin Shampoo and conditioner my hair is definitely thicker than it was..
