How long did your hair fall out?



Recommended Posts

@@MichiganChic Oh my goodness! 8 months! I don't have that much hair to begin with. I may have to cancel the extensions and buy a wig! :)

@@sunflowerchild Ok good to hear. I wish I had thick hair to start with but I don't. It's not Horrible yet but I put a Head wrap on before I cook. It freaks me out to think a hair might fall in the food! Gross! That's instant vomit for me if I get a hair in my mouth!

Mine fell out like crazy for about a month and stopped as suddenly as it started. Now my nails are cracking and breaking. Hopefully yours is short like mine was. I didn't even notice that I lost any but I have really thick hair.

I hope so too. I keep my nails short so I probably wouldn't notice that.

Yeah, it was really rough. I went to a dermatologist, got injections and magic potions, and I think they did help because I noticed it slowing down after that. I also used an absurdly expensive Shampoo and Vitamin combo he prescribed, but I think that helped, too. It was all just super slow recovery.

At 3 months, I ate about 500-600 calories a day. At about 4-6 months, I was at 600-700. From 6 months to a year, I was 800-900. Since then, I average around 1000-1400. I have always gotten in at least 75gm Protein a day.

Haven't lost a strand at 7 months out. I've had three c sections, major hernia repair surgery and vein stripping surgery on both legs. Never lost a strand those times either. My Protein intake has been modest.....about 60 grams most days. I take regular Vitamins.< /p>

@@Praiseiii Sorry it can be scary but not so much if you prepare for it. That's the only reason why I didn't freak out. I already knew even before surgery that it could happen.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
