3 months out & my hair is falling out. The black & white photo was when I weighed 295. I had thick, amazing hair. The one on the right was this Christmas at 173lbs. Hair is definitely thinner & stringy. & I'm wearing it curly, it looks even thinner when I straighten it.

I know this isn't permanent, I know it'll grow back eventually. But man its still upsetting

What have you guys done to combat this? Or how to cope with hair loss?

Try a rosemary oil hair mask for 10-15 minutes 2 x a week and massage your scalp. It's helped me a lot. My hair is long it goes down to my butt and it was getting really thin, I lost a ton of hair. I started doing the mask and in about 2 weeks I had new growth. I still do the mask 2 x a week to prevent any more hair loss. I hope this helps [emoji171]

I am 2.5 yrs out and still have significant hair loss. Lots of patchiness! I wouldn’t trade my weight loss journey except for this one factor. My Mom is a Beautician so we have tried many haircuts and hair care. I’m 59 and fortunate (and unfortunate) to have very dark hair but with a very white scalp that soooooo amplifies the patchiness! I had short, full, curly hair before surgery, now I have very thin, slight wave, short hair. ?
