Hey guys, I have been unable to meet my entire Protein requirements since surgery, as I have been unable to tolerate Protein drinks.

That being said, I know I will be experiencing hair loss, but I always heard it was around month 3. I have noticed that my hair is seeming a little thin at the front. Hasz anyone begun losing hair 5 weeks post op?

I am about 7 weeks out and I have been losing hair for a while now. I just take it day by day and try not to stress over it, It helps when I remember that I have gone from a size 22 to 16 and moving rapidly toward 14s. Keep your chin up, it will be worth it in the end.

I am sorry to hear that you guys. I want to provide some hope for others-- I am at nearly 3 months and I hate to say this but i have not lost any hair! I am hoping I am out of the woods because I am eating 1200 cals a day and take all my vitamins and biotin everyday. I hope I didn't just ruin my luck by saying this outloud!!!!

I am 4 months out and noticed I was losing hair about 2 weeks ago. I struggle to get in all my protein so I guess this could be the problem . I am having more lab work done tomorrow so we'll see where I may be deficient. I've lost 77 lbs so far.

I am just about 8 weeks out, and this week started noticing a lot more hair in the comb every morning. Hoping that my vitamins and healthy diet will keep the hair loss to a minimum! Gah!

I have been loosing hair!!!! at 5 mos out. Was advised to take zinc and biotin. Check with your doc but Im praying it helps

I've been losing my hair since about 3 weeks out. It really doesn't matter what you do, if it's going to fall out, it's going to fall out. My hair is very thin now and I'm pretty sad about it. I'm glad it will come back eventually.

I began loosing hair like crazy 2 weeks post op J I had the same problem of not being able to hit my Protein target neither my Vitamins back then. By the time I became better in both matters, my hair was falling in a crazy way by the third month to the limit that I saw a lady taking a picture of my car seat and when I asked her why? She said I could not imagine that someone would loose that much hair!!! The good news is in couple weeks I will be 7 months out and this gets better by the time “I’m not bald thank god”… My doctor said that the less amount of weight u loose the less hair falling u ll see.

I took Biotin and it seemed to help and I used the products that would prevent hair loss like Vichy Shampoo. It will get better, hang in there…
