Loosing my hair



Recommended Posts

You can eat 300gms of Protein daily and it won't make a difference. We all did extensive research and bottom line is if it is gonna fall out it is gonna fall out and it will grow back when it wants to grow back.

It's from anesthesia and weight loss.

Amen to that. Protein schmotein. Your hair will fall if its going to fall. And if you eat Protein to the exclusion of other things like Iron (easy to do if you're a shake fanatic) then your hair will STILL fall out.

Balanced diet is all you can do. There's no proof that one nutrient over another prevents or fixes hairloss. Hair falls for hormonal reasons too - like after pregnancy when you lose all that hair that didnt fall out while you were pregnant.

Stress can make it go, too, regardless of how much Protein you are consuming. I've noticed that my Hair loss increases and decreases, depending on how much stress I'm under. Right now, it's shedding left and right, and I'm getting very good amounts of protein in my diet.

Since I've lost 53 pounds my hair STOPPED falling out. I don't know why, but I am so happy it did. I think hormones played a large part.

I also started getting B12 shots and boy has my energy level popped up! I highly recommend this!!!!!!!!!!

My hair is falling out too, but I have a thick head of hair so it could stand to shed some. Now, if I see a bald spot I am really going to freak.

My energy level is really down, I am thinking about the B12 shot. My doc is kinda reserved and has the opinion that some people are fat and some are not. Hence I am a self pay for my band, since I really had no medical issues other than being overweight. I wonder what she would say if I asked her for the B12 shot?

I had lap-band surgery, ate all my Protein, my hair fell out.

8/31 I had my gallbladder cut the heck out, my hair starting falling out about 2 weeks ago.

When my mother was younger she had a hysterecetomy. Her hair fell out.

What's the common theme here? Not Protein.< /p>

Body trauma. Anesthesia.

Hair also works in cycles. It's dormant, it's growing, it's dying.

No shampoos can stop either situation.

My hair always falls out....

I eat vegetables, take my Vitamins, and have used all kind of hair products (my big sis is a hairdresser).... But, yet and still...

It fell out during the planning of my wedding (stress)...

It fell out 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter Taylor...

It fell out 2 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter Antonia...

and it will probably fall out again, due to band surgery....

Thank God for hair extensions! :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
