Almost everyone does. It's temporary. There's nothing you can do to prevent it. You will not go bald. Just shedding. It will grow back when your weight stabilizes.

I lost so much hair, I had bald spots! I take Biotin which helped a little, but Proud stated, it calms down and grows back

Speaking of which I have to tell y'all an interesting story about my Hair loss. I used to have super curly hair, and as I got older, it became straighter. I also have baby fine hair. So I was heart broken when my hair fell out as I didn't have much to begin with! My doctors and beauticians all told me the diabetic drugs and menopause was causing my hair to be straight. That I will never have my curly hair anymore. When my hair started to grow back, it looked awful with different lengths and was a mess, so I had it cut short. Now that it is growing back full throttle it is my OLD hair! Its curly and soft and beautiful. I don't know if it was I was so unhealthy before or all the Vitamins I take now or the walking or the fact I no longer take ANY diabetic drugs or insullin, but i am loving it! I didnt know how to work straight hair, I always had such easy curly hair, and I am so happy.

So be patient with the hair loss. It will come back and will come back better than ever!! In the meanwhile, get some cute hats. I wore little beanies and what my husband called "Jessie hats" (from Breaking Bad) in the winter and nobody really noticed.

Had the same issue, 4th month hair was coming out, I add more veggie fat, and that help a lot. Like coconut oil, olive oil. i just used it when I made my eggs, or other Protein. I keep my hair short, since the new growth would stick out. i too have curly hair so it's not to bad to hide the thinning. I am glad it's stopped. Over all I am so glad I got this Sleeve, it's made my life so much better and my health is 100 precent better.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
