dancing bear 0 Posted October 3, 2008 I am almost 2 months out and so far so good. I've lost 27lbs. and am exercising A LOT...swimming, and treadmill. I am eating A LOT non-animal Protein. Most every meal is just a Protein and veggie..very few carbs. My hair is falling out A LOT...handfuls of hair everytime I brush. I am using a treatment Shampoo and conditioner...do not think it is working that great. I still have gas, especially at night. I had 1 incident of food getting stuck that hurt so bad. My mouth was full of spit...weird and painful. but it only lasted a couple minutes. Does anyone have advice for the Hair loss? This is what is worrying me the most! Thanks for the support.

Shamrockgirl60 1 Posted October 3, 2008 Ok are you getting 60 grams of Protein a day? I was told to eat animal Protein, specifically lean chicken, fish or turkey and some beef if I could tolerate it. I do Have blood tests by the doctor to see if you are having deficiencies in your Vitamins and minerals and protein. So far banded in August no hair falling out and feel good.

Lanakila 1 Posted October 4, 2008 My hairdresser said to take Biotin, but that if I didn't take Folic Acid with it then it wouldn't help at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dancing bear 0 Posted October 5, 2008 Thank you. I am going to try Biotin and folic acid, and monitor protien. I also heard that the hair loss can be from dropping a lot of weight at once, as the gall bladder works double time fat burning...but that hair will all grow back and this is common for about 3 to 9 months out to occur. Here's hoping! Thanks again! dancingbear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
