I just need to tell someone who cares or understands my anguish about going bald my hair is literally coming out in clumps, strands falling out when the wind blows. This is effing devastating. I get 100gms of Protein. I drink 80 oz or more of Water. I take ALL supplements and NEVER miss. And I **** you not I am literally looking at wigs. I can't even breathe.

I am so sorry. I know firsthand how you feel. I'm losing hair at an alarming rate. I started with a lot if hair, but I bet I have lost almost half my hair. People find my hair everywhere and comment about it. I'm taking Biotin, using biotin Shampoo as well. I'm scared like you. I may also have to start wearing a baseball hat. Search Hair loss. People say it is only temporary. I hope for us both it doesn't last long. 🤢

Please take a deep breath. I am almost 4 years out and my hair fell out the same way. It is your body going into shock. Mine came back when my weightloss slowed and plateaued. Then there was a horrible regrowth. Little hairs kind of curly in my straight hair first sticking out the top of my head. Then took about a year for my hair not to have fuzzy regrowth, but believe me......It will come back. Trust it. It is part of the deal. If you can make it through the choice to have surgery, do what it took to get it done and wait through the part that takes patience, you can make it through anything!!!

First of all, I’m sorry you are dealing with this.

Does the Hair loss show up more with long or short hair? Or does it not make a difference.

I wear my hair short so I was hoping it might not show as much since it is spiky/choppy. Also, does coloring make it worse? (God, I hope not).

Nearly everyone suffers from Hair loss, and yes it sucks! The random people that say they don't I cant figure out what they are doing differently to prevent it either! I don't think that the hair loss shows up more with longer hair than shorter but I do think its more noticeable with long hair.

I dont think it would matter it still sheds short, you probably don't notice it as much. I'm starting to see the stubble if new growth tho.

I am sorry to hear this. I asked about this very issue during my last appointment. I was told that most people lose their hair due to the body being shock after surgery, not so much of a nutrient deficit. I even asked about taking Biotin and collagen and my dr said that it was inevitably going to happen. I believed her but I still bought and take the pills.< /p>

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
