Help!!! I am losing my hair

Any suggestions to why I am losing my hair? I am showing a receding hair line and its still falling out. I am 2 months post-op. and am wondering how long this is going to last. It stated to fall out 3 wks and its falling out more and more. I guess It will grow back but if I have to wear wigs I don't know were to begin to look. And it scares me. Any suggestions, protein recipes would be appreciated. Thanks Rhonda

Your hair is falling out due to the shock of the surgery and will grow back in. It's very common. Don't be frightened. I doubt that there is anything you can do to speed up the process. There have been lots of threads about this and there is a section with way more info in the library. Good luck. I figure it's coming my way soon.

RD - sorry to hear about your hair loss. I haven't had any loss (that I didn't have before) but I have done the following: 1000-2000 mg of Biotin every day. I know my nails are much strong than before surgery. I try and get just from shakes/bars 60-80 g of protein I try to vary my protein - a lot. For shakes I use: From http://www.unjury.com Unjury Vanilla and Choc. - with milk about 30 g protein in 8 oz Lots of places on the web: Whey Fruity Lemonade - with water about 20 g protein in 8 oz Vitamin Shoppe - http://www.vitaminshoppe.com Isopure (Premix) - 42 g in 20 oz EAS R-T-D Precision Protein - 42 g in 20 oz Wal-Mart EAS Advant Edge Carb Control Nutrition Bar Chocolate Chip Brownie 25 g / bar Good luck - if you need any more info, please let me know.

As I understand it, the hair will fall out between months 2 - 10 as a result of less protein. I started using Nioxin (shampoo and conditioner that you can get at Sally's) at 1 month post. I am losing some hair, but not too much yet. Goodluck! Deb -55 lbs

Increase your protein and that will slow and eventually stop the hair loss.. It happens to many people. Also.. try changing your shampoo and conditioner. Buy a deep conditioner with protein... it will help strengthen your hair.
