Hair loss!:-(



Recommended Posts

I have also been losing some hair. My NUT says make sure to get your 70-90g of Protein & make sure you are taking your Vitamins with your meals or they don't absorb right. Massage your scalp real good when you Shampoo it will stimulate new growth. I heard this is normal as our body adjusts to its changing metabolism.

I hadn't heard that about the Vitamins but I will switch and take them with meals. With the people that had to change their hair, did you have to cut it short or just restyle?

I have noticed this as well. I didn't have it before. I think it is because I cannot drink as much Water and my mouth is dry.

I had terrible hair loss for a very long time. 4 years later, I still was losing a lot of hair and my hair was really thing. Products for the hair only help with exsisting hair but you want new healthy hair too. Its all in your vitamins!!!!

Please make sure your Vitamins are 100% absorbent. If not, your body is not receiving the appropriate amount for nutrients. I started using Its Vital Nutrient Complete pack in January and have seen a complete turn around in my hair. I have hope again!! I tried every over the counter treatment and was told by my doctor to up my Vitamin dose.

The pack is a 30 day supply of Multivitamins, minerals, & omega-3.

Grrrowl!!!

I have had hair loss as well. My hubby too. The other day I was at the hair salon, I had been putting off having my hair done because I was shedding worse then the Persian cat I have at home! Bits of long blonde hair were everywhere!

I finally broke down and went to the salon, I thought to just groom the dead ends, and hopefully get some volume back. I had them bring the color tone down from bright blonde to more of the new in style Bronde. A mix of brown and blonde.

As they washed out the color...a huge fist full of hair came out. I panicked for a second thinking OK now i"m sure I have a bald spot!

Alas, no bald spot. (Thank God!) I have been taking the Biotin Vitamins and using Nioxin Shampoo and conditioner. My hair is growing back, I have all little baby hairs popping up everywhere.

The hairdresser did a deep conditioning Keratin treatment for me while I was there to help smooth down the new growth, and to help make the rest of my hair stronger.

I'm happy. My Nut told me it's because I have not been getting enough Protein so I have upped that to make sure I am getting in 60-80 grams a day. The hubby too and things have turned around for us in the hair department!

Thanks to a friend on this site, I have been taking Protein Shots on days when I am not eating enough to help supplement. They have about 26 grams of Protein and 65 calories. I am loving it!

Thanks PT for the advice!!

They are by Body Fortress, they have 26 Grams of Protein. I got them at Walmart!! Shout out to my friend PT!! Her advice was right on the $$.

They are about $9.99 for 6 bottles or vials as they call them. I usually have 1 or 2 per day depending on the amount of protein I have. They are a quick way to ensure I'm getting my totals in for the day especially if I am short for some reason.

still losing hair like crazy here, my hair is so thin and it looks awful, no style whatsoever anymore. I'm very vain about my hair, always have been, my toenails and hair and I'm losing both, toenails and hair, luckily found a great podiatrist that is working with me but as far as the hair goes i'm at a loss. today's menu: Protein Shake for Breakfast 26gs, lunch Wendy's jr cheeseburger (don't fuss I had to eat on the go and don't know the Protein grms for that) and dinner a cup of chili. Maybe I'm not getting enough I dunno but what do know is i need help. i'm ready to purchase a wig.

Hi guys,

I read your post this morning and it made me sad :(

I have a real issue keeping my protien intake high enough while still staying under my calories for the day. When I use the Protein shots, or Protein bars/drinks...to help get those extra grams in they are great, and low in calorie..but OMG the gas!!!

(TMI alert!!)

Not so much the PU of it..but the pains in the belly. Grumble rumble tumble..and I can't exactly rip it here at my desk! By the time I get to the ladies room..I can sit there a good 10 minutes just blasting away..sounds like world war three! EMBARRASSING!

Then of course when the protein is not high enough I am not losing any weight..and I'm feeling tired all the time and consequently got myself sick with a bad upper respiratory infection! So this morning...I was on a tirade! I am an overweight, gas blasting, bald cranky b***h! Get out of my way!!!!!

Good thing it's Halloween...I got everyone running scared! BOO!

Hoo...what should we do??? Yeah yeah I know protein..get your gas mask on, the bombs are about to blow!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
