Well June sleevers, it has officially begun for me, hair falling out pretty bad whenever I brush or comb and when shampooing. Can't really see the loss on my head but I am worried that will be next! Anyone else experiencing it yet? Sleeved June 19, down 53 lbs and feeling good!

I've only been sleeved a month but I wanted to ask, how many grams of Protein do you have daily? I'm terrified of losing my hair!!

I routinely have above 70 gms/day

I was at the hairdresser yesterday for a haircut and mentioned that I thought I was losing a little more than usual amounts of hair...not terrible but more than usual. She told me that this is the season that everybody sheds more hair...she said when the leaves fall so does our hair...so maybe some of it is just the normal amount you would have lost and it's just a little more even though it may look like a lot more. Did that make sense? Trying to stay positive I was sleeved 6/6.

I was sleeved the June 19th too. My brush needs to be cleaned of hair after every use and it seems like a lot. Haven't noticed it in the shower yet but I shed all day. Well here we go!

I routinely have above 70 gms/day

Oh man I get around 55 a day. I'm still on liquids and have been having trouble with protein shakes. Can't keep them down. My hair is my everything. I can't lose it! So scared

June 17th here. And yes, the hair is shedding quite steady now. I have plenty to spare, but it's disturbing, regardless.

Saw my hair dresser today who suggested I massage my scalp to keep the blood flowing that it help fragile hair stay put.

Hair loss is common month 3-6. It will stop and it will grow back. It felt like my hair fell out in chunks, shedding everywhere. I am 5 months post op and it has slowed down. Not much hair loss anymore. My NUT told me to make sure I get 70g of protein and take my vitamins.
