WHEN WILL MY HAIR STOP FALLING OUT? AHHHHHHHHHHH



Recommended Posts

Ok so I was told about the 4th mos I may see a little hair shed. This didnt concern me because factually I have TONS of hair. But now it needs to stop. Will it stop, slow down and cease? Im really trying to get my Protein in and Im taking Biotin as well as my other supplements and vites. Please tell me it will stop and soon. Im grilling up some steaks tonight but not a huge meat eater.

I wish I could tell you that there is a way to magically avoid Hair loss. No matter how much Protein you eat, how much biotene you take, how much Water you drink and how consistent you are with taking Vitamins, you will still lose hair for 2-3 months. It is a bummer, I know, especially if you are blessed with beautiful hair before surgery. I can tell you it does stop though, usually after 3 months of loss. What you are losing during that 3 months is a lot of lower quality, not so healthy hair. The weakest hair strands will fall out. From what I have read, the loss hair is replaced by new stronger, longer and healthier hair before the 1 year post op. Hang in there and know we are all pulling for you. Believe that hair will come back stronger, longer and healthier soon. :)

Yes, I lost my hair for 3-4 months. It piled up on my iPad as I was reading and writing posts on VST. I did get a little concerned and my wife definitely noticed. I always had really thick hair for most of my life. It is now back to a good solid mane of hair. I did not take biotene, but consumed a lot of Protein (120 oz at the time) and took my Vitamins without fail daily.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
