Help!! I have started losing hair about a month ago. I was sleeved in December 2015. I wasn't getting my Protein requirements for awhile but that has since been rectified. I get at least 90g a day, but I am still losing a significant amount of hair. Other people can tell I'm thinning around my hair line but otherwise I can only tell that my hair is thinner throughout the rest of my hair. How long before it slows down! I'm having a slight breakdown over it! Thanks !

Oh and I also use Nioxin to wash my hair and take Biotin supplements along with my normal daily Vitamin

Relax and embrace the Hair loss. It will stop. Mine started at month 4 and lasted till month 8. It got really thin and has been growing back since. I'm 18 months out from surgery and the new growth is coming in to where my hair is pretty thick again. I still take 10000 mcg of Biotin daily. It won't stop the hair loss but it does help with regrowth.

@@kdelrosso how long were you struggling with your Protein intake? I'm almost 2 weeks post op and have not made it to 60 g once yet. My diet was advanced from Clear liquids to full liquids and now I'm relying on premiere Protein shakes but I can't seem to choke them down and I'm worried I'll have significant hair loss later!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
