Hair Loss

I had surgery in December and I find I am really losing a lot of hair. I know I need to eat more protein, any other suggestions? Has this happened to others?

I wish I knew something else to tell you but they say eat protein. I know it must be hard to get enough when you can't eat a lot. Have you tried adding protein powder? I haven't had the surgery yet. I'm still going thru the pre-sugery liquid diet . I am scheduled for the 30th.

Tammy, I had surgery on Feb4th and began losing hair about a month ago. I was slacking on my protein, but once I got it back up and over 60 grams a day, the hair loss slowed down and has now stopped. It really does help. Go have a something, sf, lowfat with protein! Good luck. :-)

My surgeon suggest Biotin before and after surgery to reduce hair loss.

I was about 6 months out, when all of a sudden, the bathtub had more hair it it each time I showered then my head did, I upped the protien, started taking bioten and using NIOXIN shampoo, I have little baby hair growing in, just remember, losing the hair is fast, getting it back is slow, so keep your chin up and get that protien in and it will pass.
