Nothing will prevent hair loss. Some people lose hair, some don't. You won't go bald and keep in mind as your hair is falling out new hair is also growing in. My hair got pretty thin and it now back to being the thick hair it once was. Be sure to use a strengthening shampoo/conditioner otherwise it's a waiting game. No amount of Protein, Biotin, or some other medication is going to stop your hair from falling out as Hair loss is generally caused by surgery, trauma of surgery, anesthesia, and weight-loss.

Good luck.

Protein (but not in excess), biotin (sublingual pill works), and trying to stay stress free.

Not really, nope. It's all part of the cycle. Once your hair is falling out it's falling out, but it's also growing back. I was eating a good 100g+ Protein when mine was falling out and it didn't help. Just have to wait it out.

Mine started to feel a little thin and luckily I can afford to loose a little. I did start on the Biotin right away.. it has stopped not sure if from the biotin or just "ran it's course" but no harm in staying on it and I am

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
