Should I cut my hair? (Hair Loss)



Recommended Posts

Sadly. I lost so slowly but still lost probably 75% of my hair. I never lost 2 digits lbs in one month ever. By 6 months out it was pretty obvious. By 7 months, I started going in weekly for Vitamin if infusions. My hair was straggly and chemo-like.

‘SO HERE IS WHAT I DID. I GOT EXTENSIONS! I still have them one year out. My hair is long and great but it ain’t mine. Lol. Enjoying them. At this point, 13 mos out, my own hair has all grown back but is about 1-w inches long. Fluffy and yuck, but I still have the extensions and I will keep them for the next 6 months until my hair grows to a decent length.

And since my natural hair style is pixi shag to mullet maybe we can hide the loss as it comes.

I razor-cut 12 inches of my hair off, into a mid-length bob. It looks awesome and any thinning around my temples is mostly masked. And as a bizarre side benefit, people seem to know SOMETHING is different about me but wouldn't likely mention weight loss, so they're all being insanely complimentary about the haircut.

I have long hair as you might have seen in my previously posted pics. I love it and don't want to cut it but the Hair loss is so annoying!

Filling my brush and everytime I run my fingers through I come out with more strands :(

I was told eating 60-70 grams of Protein would prevent Hair loss. I was getting that much but fell off the shakes and bars and now my hair is falling out. Just strands not in bulk. My hair is thick so I guess I can afford some. But I’ve been trying to get more protein in every day. I guess it will take more time

I have eaten that much protein since almost Day1. Mine is still falling out by the brush full. :(

Just watched a video on Youtube by someone who had thinning hair and she uses a product called Toppik.

You can watch the whole thing but its interesting and relevant from about 4 minutes in.

Heres the video, very inspiring -

Googled it and I bought a 27.5g for £3.98 delivered. I am sure people from other countries will be able to find one on their own Ebay sites or maybe Amazon?

I was told by my surgeon and nutritionist that it is going to happen regardless of what you do. It is just part of wls. I was also told that it will stop eventually around 6-9 months. of course if you do not follow the program and get your daily protein goals in i imagine the loss is much worse.

as for me I cut mine off yesterday. The stylist put a lot of messy layers in to hide the thinning.

Yes, but I couldn't quite figure out what you were talking about. Where do you get albuterol vials?

I have a nebulizer so I have plenty, how you would get them without a prescription I'm not sure?

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
