dreamhappy07 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hey all, I am freaked out right now because in the last week I have been losing ALOT of hair! I mean handfuls and throughout the day they drop here and there. What could be going on here? I am getting enough protein every day and I drink at least a whole bottle of vitamin water every day. I don't get it and it's really freaking me out! I hope someone out there can help me understand what might be going on. Peace soon, Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clynn Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 The reaction is not unusual when somebody starts a new diet, particularly a dramatic one. How much protein are you taking in per day? Upping it might help. As I understand this is a temporary situation and once your body adjust your hair will come back thicker than ever. If you search around the forum a bit you'll find posts from other people who have had the same thing happen to them. You can always call the nutritionist and see if there are any other changes in your diet which can combat the hair loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is perfectly natural when you have a large weight loss. About 2 or 3 months after I was banded I started loosing tons of hair. I freaked out too, since I had already lost quite a bit of hair after my hysterectomy a couple of hears ago. It lasted for a while and now I am growing new hair in again. I did not go bald or anything, but my hair did thin - I was the one that mainly noticed it. You have to remember that you are being good and eating enough protein NOW... but your hair lags a bit, so this is probably from around surgery time when you maybe did not get enough. Just keep up the protein intake and it will slow down soon. I try and get at least 6 ounces of protein a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamhappy07 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thanks for the calming replies. I know I have read about this problem with others, but my surgery was so long ago, I figured it could be something else. Like I am seeing my doc today about that scary lump in the middle of my chest between my breasts. I usually never stress about stuff, but that is probably what is stressing me more. All will be well I hope and after trying to get more protein in and another fill, I shoud be good to go! Peace, Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
