Hair Loss, What Can I Do About It??



Recommended Posts

I have noticed recently that I am losing a lot more hair than I used to. I have heard that could happen due to weight loss, so I was kind of expecting it, but now that it is happening I want to know what I can do about it. I am taking my Vitamins, but I guess that is not enough. If anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent this or at least minimize, please let me know.

Thanks,

Protien- when you don't get enough Protein your hair will fall out. So make sure you are getting enough. Also, Vitamin depletion can cause it.

Make sure you're hitting your Protein goal for the day. I started taking Biotin to help prevent Hair loss, plus I dye mine (a lot!) and the Biotin helps make your hair healthier and your nails grow stronger.

I was told that usually after a surgery you will lose hair also. OMG I lost so much I was starting to freek out (i have a lot of thick hair) but it all came back! And yes - protien!

As others have said, make certain to achieve your Protein goal every day, and take Biotin.

Are you getting enough Iron? I started losing my hair and found out I was anemic...my doc has me on extra iron and my hair has stopped falling out.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
