Hair is growing back...am I done losing?



Recommended Posts

So me and my hair stylist noticed I have tons of little hairs sprouting everywhere, which I figured was just regrowth.

I'm still about 47lbs from my ultimate goal....Have I just stabilized and won't lose anymore? I still losing weekly...I had surgery in Feb 2015.

Any input would be great! I've just always heard the hair comes back when youre done losing...

My hair started coming back before I was done losing. My new hairs are a few inches now!

My hair started coming back before I was at goal, and recently fell out all over again when I've been at goal for months. I tend to think it is more a matter of stress and the initial shock to the body of the reduced calories and when you adjust to your new diet, your body does as well and your hair grows back.

I agree...as you eat more and the initial shock to the system is over, the hair starts to come back.

LOL! No, hair regain isn't caused by stopping losing weight.

hair regain starts again pretty much on schedule after WLS. Hair loss after WLS is caused by the stress of surgery. X months later (typically 4-5 months after it starts coming out) it starts regrowing.

You need to read the info at this link -- it'll explain it very well:

You can also google telogen effluvium and read up more on this phenomenon.

And keep losing the 47 pounds you still have to go. :)

Thank you all!

Those answers make sense and I figured it was just my body adjusting..again haha. However you just hear over and over that once your weight stabilizes the hair comes back! Of course you always hear that from the surgeon and nuts who have never actually gone through the process ^__^

      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.
