Thanks finediva! I'm thinking I might even take a little more off the top.

IMHO, it looks good, but hey, it's hair, it'll grow back. I confess, after reading your post, I went to my bathroom, locked the door and tried to contemplate cutting my hair. I didn't do it, but may once i reach goal. Maybe as part of a makeover. Thankfully, I haven't been losing any hair. Good job on that gorgeous donation.

My hair started shedding extreme in month 4. It had happened years before with a medication, do I was used to it. The ponytail got smaller and smaller.

Now at 5 & 1/2 it has slowed almost to normal.

I have been getting all my Protein all my Vitamins the extra Biotin.

So to my fellow sleevers it is possible and probable. Keep a positive attitude and know if it happens to you ... It will pass.

I've had a lot of falling hair in the 2 months post-op. It was getting scary to see so much come out. After having long hair since my twenties, I decided to go short in the hopes it would slow down the loss. I donated my braid. Here's a little before and after, and the hair I lost...attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1416533029.457975.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1416533044.327567.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1416533058.096021.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1416533072.596860.jpg

@@Lallylocks you look great! How brave of you. You are inspiring me to consider cutting my hair. I haven't noticed any more of it falling out than usual but I know it's coming.

I actually really love it. I lost 0.2 pounds of hair! Lol. Was glad to donate my braid, and hope it is useful for someone. I've had shortish hair before, but forgot how light it feels, and how much simpler it is to deal with. So glad I did it.

Google Telogen effluvium It makes sense about the hair loss even if it doesn't make it easy. My hair has been falling out in handfuls since the middle of October. I am almost 4 months out and am so ready for this to end. But losing weight helps me to not be so bummed about the hair. :o

I am 4 months post surgery and have been losing so much hair it scares me! I have always had thick hair so my husband says you can't tell, but I can totally see it! I have been taking Biotin and trying hard to get all my Protein in. Now I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it stops soon, before I go bald! lol

Just think of all the fun you could have with wigs and extensions :)

While my hair falling out scares me, I find great comfort in knowing some pretty great wig shops and wig makers in my area! I used to wear a different wig everyday just because I could lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
