HAIR LOSS!



Recommended Posts

Protein protein protein....biotin I take everyday too. I've heard mixed reviews. I was sleeved sept 28th. I'm blonde and thinner hear too, but haven't noticed a significant amount of Hair loss. What I know for sure is if it happens.....it will come back. Focus on 90 to 100 grams of protein is what my doc says. I've slipped a lil, but getting back on track with my protein. I feel more satiated also when I eat that much protein and sugar cravings subside. Best wishes!

I agree Protein and Biotin maybe help but my Dr. Said it's a waiting game and everyone was different it's just "collateral damage" just like stretch marks and saggy skin. That doesn't affect everyone just "some people" but for those people it can be horrible! So I'm off to take my Vitamins and count my hairs ;)

Hello fellow friends & sleevers,

I wanted to give an update on the hair loss. I am now 6.5 months out and my Hair loss that started at month 3 has officially slowed down, if not almost stopped completely. I didn't start taking anything different, I believe it was just the cycle it needed to run and thank God it seems to be over!! My hair looks fine but I can see it's thinner in the back (where no one can notice much) and from what I read it will grow back over the next few months.

I am a hairdresser and I thought I might be able to shed some light on products such as nioxin.

Nioxin was originally made for cancer patients. It works as an extreme cleanser to remove build up in your scalp. I have not had my surgery yet but I assume Hair loss is from diet changes and things like nioxin won't help because your hair grows from within! Protien, Biotin, and Iron are the best things I can recommend and if you want to speed up growth adding a few drops of mint essential oil into your Shampoo will help stimulate your scalp.

Hope this might help some of you :)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
