I would like to follow this thread as well :-)

I am noticing a lot of hair coming out the past couple of weeks.

My Dr. said to double my Vitamins and that would help some. Also continue to keep Protein between 60-80 grams a day. Probably old news for you but just thought I would share JIC....

I was told by a friend that was also sleeved to use RedKen Extreme Shampoo (blue bottle) for a Protein boost. But, I spoke with my hairdresser who is also a dear friend and he said that it doesn't matter because he said the hair loss comes from the lack of Protein from the inside. He used to work for RedKen so he's very knowledgeable about this stuff. He talked to me about using Protein powder on top of eating protein (I'm 17 weeks out).

I started taking Biotin 10 mg a day. I also only use Shampoo about once a month, I use a cleansing conditioner every day, something along the line of wen. I'm only 7 weeks post op, I'm not sure if you are further along than I am. But so far so good.

I just had my NUT appointment, she stressed going for 80+grams of Protein a day, and making sure to get all your Vitamins, and Water in.

I myself am a cosmetologist The Hair loss does come from a lack of Protein on the inside. But I use nioxin 3 step kit to help. It creates a healthy environment for optimal Hair growth. It will not stop it but can help prevent "fall".

Yeah, my doctor told me the same thing.

I'm not actually experiencing Hair loss. I just thought it couldn't hurt to use a better Shampoo & conditioner to help prevent it.

I am trying this stuff with collegian & Biotin in it. I've heard Nioxion is the best though. It's just kinda pricey.

Yes it is. But remember when using professional products a little goes a long way. No reason a kit shouldn't last you 2 months unless you have massive amounts of hair.

Good point! I really had no idea it could last that long. I think I may order some. I just feel like it'd be a smart preventative thing to do.

The day before surgery I bought some Biotin Shampoo and conditioner from GNC. I'm only 3 days out, but I'll have it if I need it.

So I'm seeing that the Hair loss is from lack of Protein? Then where does the Biotin Vitamin come in? I average about,60g Protein per day and just started seeing some loss so started biotin.... Should I just be upping the protein instead?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
