anyone NOT lost their hairI



Recommended Posts

I hear so much about everyone losing their hair. Is there anyone out there that hasn't lost their hair? I'm about 9 weeks post op and I hear its about the 3 mo mark. I get about 70 grams of Protein a day so I hope I won't. So anyone out there that didn't lose their hair?

I never lost my hair - been at goal a year. I was good about my Protein and had good luck, too.

Surgery in May Hair loss started in September. I'm still shedding like a Cocker Spanial today. It's very disheartening.

It happens to many...so be prepared...doesn't matter if you do everything perfectly....it can still happen and does happen to many... as you can see only a handful posted that they had not....

My hair is all I got and when it started at the 4mth marked...I freaked. I am still freaking. I have long thick hair to my butt. Now, it is thin. No one has commented on/noticed it to my face - I hope no one ever does. But I see it in the mirror, see in the sink drain, in the shower, in my brush...and I do it all the Vitamins, the Protein, the shampoos, etc..I have spent a fortune on it to be quite honest. . I am at the 10th mark now; it has slowed, but I am still losing. I hate that I think I look okay in clothes again, but hate my hair now when I used to love it. Many have posted that 2 years out is the longest Hair loss has lasted (that I have read on a post), so I hope mine stops in a year since it is already slowing.

Good luck to all of us with this issue.

I'm going on 10wks post-up. My hair has started to shed lots, I try bit to think much about it, as we all know stress will cause it to fall out faster. Grrrrr.

I'm drinking all my Protein and taking Vitamins and still shedding. I'm praying it doesn't get worse on my 3rd month as many say that's when it starts. Fingers crossed it slows down.

i'm 15 months out - lost some from say 9 months to 12 months, but with taking Biotin and silica it has grown faster - so its longer at any rate - longest its ever been in fact - try not to worry - worry won't help it. The sleeve is worth it anyway :)

Wel I might have a different circumstance I have long thick dreadlocks which don't require hair brushing only at the roots. I wash and condition with Pantene and use natural oils to condition my scalp.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
