Five month stall and hair loss HELP!



Recommended Posts

So I was sleeved on Feb 8th and had been losing well down from 344 to 264 then 4 weeks ago it just stopped. I have stayed within the same three pound range. I am not eating differently and I am moving more. The only thing I am losing is hair which is coming out by the handfuls. Please give me some advice! Thanks!

I think it's fairly normal - I am between 4-5 months and my weight has been staying mostly the same for about 3 weeks. Granted I've had a lot going on (a flare up of auto-immune - steroids - and a death of an immediate family member) but still - stalls are frustrating a bit. When I have been paying attention to other things I noticed my body is really changing - my face and stomach are smaller. Have your measurements changed?

now that my immediate trauma's are over it is time for me to get back to my main focus being on my diet (Protein Protein protein) and moving my body. gentle yoga and walking for now.

I hope to soon hear from you, and experience for myself, that the scale will be moving again too!

Stalls are a normal, natural and necessary part of the process of losing weight. If you intend to lose a lot of weight, you will experience stalls.

Unfortunately, Hair loss after surgery/anesthesia is not uncommon. Not everyone loses a noticeable amount of hair, but some people do. It will grow back. The best thing you can do is make sure you are getting in all of your Protein and taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Are you taking Biotin at all? I recommend 10,000mcg per day, it works wonders on hair and also the beneift of strengthening nails :) It won't stop hair falling out, but the hair regrowth is noticeable - in my experience anyway.

My hair is already coming back ! I was sleeved in November 2015. I also used a Protein Shampoo I'm not sure if it made it better but for me mentally it did.

Biotin also increases facial hair ladies.

      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.
