Should I cut my hair? (Hair Loss)



Recommended Posts

Sadly. I lost so slowly but still lost probably 75% of my hair. I never lost 2 digits lbs in one month ever. By 6 months out it was pretty obvious. By 7 months, I started going in weekly for Vitamin if infusions. My hair was straggly and chemo-like.

‘SO HERE IS WHAT I DID. I GOT EXTENSIONS! I still have them one year out. My hair is long and great but it ain’t mine. Lol. Enjoying them. At this point, 13 mos out, my own hair has all grown back but is about 1-w inches long. Fluffy and yuck, but I still have the extensions and I will keep them for the next 6 months until my hair grows to a decent length.

And since my natural hair style is pixi shag to mullet maybe we can hide the loss as it comes.

I razor-cut 12 inches of my hair off, into a mid-length bob. It looks awesome and any thinning around my temples is mostly masked. And as a bizarre side benefit, people seem to know SOMETHING is different about me but wouldn't likely mention weight loss, so they're all being insanely complimentary about the haircut.

I have long hair as you might have seen in my previously posted pics. I love it and don't want to cut it but the Hair loss is so annoying!

Filling my brush and everytime I run my fingers through I come out with more strands :(

I was told eating 60-70 grams of Protein would prevent Hair loss. I was getting that much but fell off the shakes and bars and now my hair is falling out. Just strands not in bulk. My hair is thick so I guess I can afford some. But I’ve been trying to get more protein in every day. I guess it will take more time

I have eaten that much protein since almost Day1. Mine is still falling out by the brush full. :(

Just watched a video on Youtube by someone who had thinning hair and she uses a product called Toppik.

You can watch the whole thing but its interesting and relevant from about 4 minutes in.

Heres the video, very inspiring -

Googled it and I bought a 27.5g for £3.98 delivered. I am sure people from other countries will be able to find one on their own Ebay sites or maybe Amazon?

I was told by my surgeon and nutritionist that it is going to happen regardless of what you do. It is just part of wls. I was also told that it will stop eventually around 6-9 months. of course if you do not follow the program and get your daily protein goals in i imagine the loss is much worse.

as for me I cut mine off yesterday. The stylist put a lot of messy layers in to hide the thinning.

Yes, but I couldn't quite figure out what you were talking about. Where do you get albuterol vials?

I have a nebulizer so I have plenty, how you would get them without a prescription I'm not sure?

Do you know where I can read more about this? How did you discover this? I can't find anything anywhere.

      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.
