Topic: RE: Hair Loss
Completely normal. It will last 7-9 months then it will stop. It has nothing to do with protein. Nioxin won't fix it, nor will Biotin. There are some products which will make the hair you have thicker and a supplement called Horsetail (Vegetal Silica) which also helps hair grow faster. But this process is a normal part of the process. It will pass 
Topic: RE: New here Am I doing right
hello,
i have only lost 74 in 4 months so you are doing great. i recently asked my doctor if i am where i should be and he told me that every person is different. You should not compare yourself to anyone. I am losing my hair too. I actually just put a post up about that. I think you should keep doing what you are doing!!

Christy,
You're doing GREAT!!!! I had surgery on 4/4/05 and I've lost 82. I'm also taking the vitamins and eating protein but my hair seems to be coming out by handfuls. My hair dresser says it's also caused by the anesthesia they used to put us to sleep. I hope he's right otherwise I'm going to need a wig by Christmas!!! 
Keep up the good work!

Topic: The scale is moving again
Thank God. 
Monday I started eating a protein bar or two ounces of cheese about a half hour before bedtime. I don't know if that is the catalyst making the scale move or it's just coincidence, but I'm down three pounds this week. I think my system stays awake burning calories digesting the extra food. 
Perhaps all you other stalled people can give it a try.

Lynda Topic: RE: Hair Loss
The great "THEY" says the hair loss stops before anybody actually goes bald. Basically we're losing hair due to the major shock to our systems from WLS. There's nothing you can do about it really. I added a Biotin supplement to my morning pile of pills. I'm trying to find shampoo with Nioxin but am not having any luck in my rural community.
I had my hair cut shortened with layers so the loss won't be obvious. So far no one has noticed the thinning but me and my stylist.
Relax and don't think about it.
Topic: Hair Loss
Hello Everyone,
I am new to this message board. I had my surgery on 4/5/05, I am down 76 pounds. I too have stopped losing weight, I only lose about a pound every few days if I am lucky. I am having a huge problem with my hair loss though. I recently cut off 11 inches. Someone told me that if I cut some it will decrease the amount of hair that falls out. When I asked my doctor about it he told me it was due to lack of protein but other people have told me that it has nothing to do with protein. I do not tolerate the protein shakes so I make sure that the foods I eat are high in protein. I feel like I am about to go bald. Please

It's 8-18-05 and I'm down 63 lbs. I went from a 26 in jeans to an 18 in jeans. In scrubs I went from a 3x to an xl and I even bought some larges in shirts online cuz I think I might be able to get into those now. I haven't gotten them yet from the company that I bought them from.
Topic: RE: Where Ya at???
I'm down 63 lbs since April 20th which makes me very happy. I'm getting there, even if it's not very quickly anymore.
