Vets help. I am losing my hair

I am in year three of the sleeve. I lost 85 pounds. Never reached goal but have maintained the lost with noo gain beyond the normal 5 pound up and down bounce

I have been on a push to lose more. 5:2 has helped shed an additional 5 pounds. scale is moving in the right direction

I eat protien and veggies very very litte carbs. And most recently I have baked the calories down to 800 - 1000. That seems to work for me.

I see now my hair is thinning. Very upset! I want to lose weight not my hair

I know this is a topic but I am panic'd and haven't searched for the topic yet. I am sure the answer is in vitiams which I must admit I don't take. But I will take them all A to Z to save my hair!

Help!!

At my three year checkup, they said EAT MORE PROTEIN. I really lost a lot too... I probably do not eat enough protein....

You know, Kim. I was thinking the exact thing. I probably my don't get nearly enough protein either. Worth a shot.

I've been seeing more hair loss again recently, I'm going to try supplementing with Zinc - that's supposed to help, we'll see....

I just went in for a hair cut and my hair dresser (also a very good friend) told me she can see the growth starting. I had uneven patches on the top of my head where i had lost hair. So she worked around it to make sure she didn't cut it short. Hoping im on the mend after 19 months.

I have an appointment to get my hair cut next week and my hair dresser is going to try a little microcurrent to wake up the hair folicals!! That a deep condition treatment and I hoping it will bring back the fullness of my hair. She said when you go through surgery your hairline thins out by your temples of your hair line especially from the anthesia. It will take a few months but soon baby hairs should be coming in.

I would suggest a high dosage of biotin and some msm pills....
