Lets Talk Hairloss

So..... Is it like noticeable? Temporary? Preventable? Bound to happen or just a small possibility that it may happen.?

Did it come back nicely? Different?

I love my hair.

I don't think it's protein because the last time I seriously dieted and lost about 35 lbs. in six months, my hair also started falling out at around the 4 month mark (just like now - somehow was hoping that it wouldn't happen this time) and believe me that I was getting in PLENTY of protein. I was on a low-carb, high-protein diet, and since I suffered from a huge appetite pre-op, among other things that to certain meds I take, I could eat half a chicken in one meal without a problem, and I tended to do this at least two out of three meals a day. So there's no question that I was NOT lacking protein, and yet my hair started falling out just like it is now. (I do think the hair loss is going faster now, but then again, I've lost a lot more weight this time around.) I did have good results with Biotin last time, so am hoping it'll work again this time. It's definitely a concern, but hey, still a small price to pay for the weight loss.

I'd go with hormones. I have a lot of thick hair and I lost handfuls of hair postpartum while breast feeding and then again when I stopped. I've never been vitamin/mineral deficient. Fat stores a lot of estrogen that gets released in weight loss.
