I am 4 1/2 months out and my hair is falling out a lot! I have very fine and short hair, and I can tell it falls out in bunches when I wash it. I'm trying to wash it less frecuently, but I have to wash it at least 2-3 times a weeks after the gym! My 12 yr old daughter was combing my hair yesterday and was saying that I have a few nearly bald bits, behind my ears and at the front my forehead, (That one I had realised) I'm starting to panic, I take all my supplements, vitamins, iron, etc, the only thing is that my proteins aren't as high as the should be (sometimes only around 40 gr a day) So I am going to work on my proteins from today, and I know a lot of you have said that it grows back, but it'sstill so scary. Any words of advice/encouragement will be very much appreciated!

Hey Coops! I use either build up from nestle or complan (boots) they are cheapish and cost around 4 or 5 pounds i think, and come in a box of 5 sachets. I like the chocolate and vanilla, what I do is I make like a milkshake, blend with coffee, skimmed milk, and I bought a sugar free hazelnut syrup from starbucks and 1/2 or a whole sachet of the protein powder. I bought a strawberry one sculptress which came in a huge container, was expensice (about £17 1/2 price at the time) but i hate it!!

Cheers Chilo... I will try those for sure... how are you doing with the extra protein and less carbs... you are soooo near to your goal weight now... exciting!!!! x

Well actually I started to lose again! I had to see my surgeon yesterday so I did try harder for a week and it payed off! How's it going for you still on a stall?

Nice one... I noticed your ticker had gone down again... how did it go? What did he say? I bet he was chuffed with your progress.

I'm still in limbo... lost a pound last week, will offically weigh in the morning but I think it is aound this week too...*boo hoo* So since the pnuemonia I have managed to get rid of 6-7lb... I know I haven't done as much exercise but I have been doing some and I am a little disheartened... but I ain't beating myself up like I did a couple of weeks ago!! It has been hard work to be honest, but without the sleeve I would have put a lot of weight on... so that is a bonus!! =]

Hmm I'm a bit scared about the hair loss. I have fine, thin hair as it is. I don't think I'd look good with no hair. I guess I'll cross that bridge when it gets there and hope for the best.

I'm only a month out, so I haven't had hair fall out yet. But when it does happen I'm hoping it all comes from my back.
