Hair Loss. :-(

I'm 5 months out and getting in my vitamins and protein. My hair seems to be falling out at warp speed. Anyone else have this? I'm going to be bald on top if this continues.

Mine is too and I think are surgery dates are were very close. I'm really trying not to stress about it but I get so much conflicting advice I'm not sure what to do to make it stop!

Losing my hair was my #1 concern, my surgeon guaranteed me that if I took my minimum 64 gr. of protein and took my biotin my hair would not fall out. I'm six months post op today and so far so good. Some people who stop drinking their protein "think" they are getting enough protein but they really are not unless you caculate all your protein you eat. If you are infact getting all your protein then I would increase. What amount of protein are you getting daily?

Now my protein fluctuates between 70 - 80 grams per day. I may have to start with the biotin and zinc. I just hate taking more pills.

I take the hair, skin and nails vitamins plus over 75G protein (including the shake) daily and my multivitamin and use Nioxin shampoo as well. Do you think the hair, skin and nail vitamins is good enough in getting in the biotin and zinc or do I need to buy those and take them instead? This is so frustrating, to have to worry about another thing, but we knew it was a possibility but ugh!!
