For those of you who understand whey Protein vs. other protein.....please help me.

I'm not as worried about continuing to loose weight...but continuing to loose hair.

Basic question - is the protein in "protein shots" good for you at all? I know it's not whey protein and thus not good for continued weight loss but will it help my body with the excessive hair loss?

I don't know the answer to your question about protein but have you tried the protein shots yet? They are absolutely nasty! Most definitely the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted!

For hair loss try taking Biotin.

I'm no expert, but it my understanding that the protein in the shot(I think it is collagen) is not absorbable for our bodies and is pretty much useless. You can search protein shots here and you should get quite a few results by those who have researched this expansively. That's where I read it. Good luck!

Not good for you at all. Do a search on here and you'll find the answers. Don't waste your money.

Thanks. I know I had read answers shortly after surgery but was having a hard time finding what I needed on my phone. I hadn't tried the shot yet, but was hoping it could help and even though nasty was something I could take in one gulp.

Taking Biotin and multi-Vitamins. However, for several months wasnt able to eat enough, drink enough, take vitamins, etc. etc. I think the damage is already done and what will fall will fall.

I cleaned my bathroom yesterday. I only walked in there twice since and this morning the entire floor was covered in hair. I hadn't even brushed it yet.

Primary doc said i should stop loosing hair once my weight settles down. I actually dread stepping on the scale and seeing more weight loss because I know it will mean more hair loss. Always had thick, long hair and this is so upsetting. It's only been a couple weeks, i cant imagine this going on for months.

Try Nioxin shampoo and conditioner. Irs spendy but it wieks. Also I have hw ard taking zinc helps.

Its whey protein isolate..isolates are what you want..not the blends...or concentrates
