Today in the shower, I ran my fingers through it and an enormous clump of hair came out in my hands plus more every time I wrung out my hair! I'm a little nervous. I hear this happens sometimes when you lose a lot of weight quickly. But I've only lost 40 pounds in 4 months. What does everyone suggest will help me with the hair lose?

It happens, mine is finally starting to grow back. Keep taking your vitamins. Congrats on your weight loss

protein and vitamins is what I'm being told. 80-100 gms of protein a day. 80 being the minimum

Many people take Biotin and I think there is a special shampoo out there. A dermatologist may have recommendations. Good luck -- it will come back! And congrats on the 40......

I am having the same issue, massive amounts of hair , I am taking a multi,and biotin and just hoping it helps

I lost a ton of hair in the shower in week 2 and 3 but I started 5000mg of biotin daily. Some people swear it doesn't work... But I've noticed a difference so I'm gonna keep up with it!

I'm almost 17 mos post op and 73 lbs down and I started losing hair immediately. I try to get my protein in but don't get nearly enough as stated above obviously. I do take biotin and some ppl on here have suggested to me Nioxin system but its expensive but neither promote new growth just healthy hair as told by my stylist and helps your current hair grow. I've just learned to live with mine as is and keep taking my biotin. The vitamins make me sick so I don't take them. Good luck.
