sounds like you are doing everything right. The only thing I added to your list is I use Garnier fall fight Shampoo and conditioner. Other then that it sounds like you are getting in your Protein and Biotin.< /p>

I have been taking Biotin since before surgery. I am 4 mos out and my hair is starting to thin out. I get 60-80gms of Protein in each day' date=' 64+oz of Water. I take my Vitamins and Calcium. Does anyone have some suggestions?[/quote']

Take Biotin 10,000 mcg by natrol and you can add Zinc too. My doctor said I should increase my Protein to 100 grams. Good luck

My NUT set a Protein goal of 85-100, maybe you could bump your protein?! I haven't had Hair loss issues yet but worry about it since my hair is thin to start with!

I've been told by several people, my doc included, that Hair loss in inevitable. I take Biotin too, but it can only help but will not prevent the hair loss. It happens to everyone 3-5 months post surgery. He recommended volumizing Shampoo, but also just to cope with the fact that its going to happen, but won't last forever. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Just know we're all going to go through it too :)

My doctor said the same. Things should get back to normal after 6 months.

My doc said the same also. It's from the stress of losing the weight so fast. Nothing is going to stop it but Biotin or other things might help it grow back quicker

Amazon has it, if you are a shut in like me ;) I also bought (eye roll but it works) Joan River's hair powder. It is in a compact and matches your hair color and comes with a brush, you just dab it on your scalp. Totally works. Google it. It is one of those monthly things but just order once and cancel. The brunette is very dark though!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
