Mine just started falling out as well. It happens to many folks and there isn't much you can do about it. The condition is called telogen effluvium. Lost hair like this back in 1988 while following Weigh****chers. Went and got blood tests done and saw a dermatologist. He said that the rapid weight loss is a stress on the body and this is how the body reacts to stresses. (Weight loss isn't the only thing that can bring on hair loss.) The good news is that it'll reverse itself in time. It'll probably last a few months and then gradually start filling back in. Kathy

Yep. I've been stuck at the same weight for nearly two weeks now. My hair has thinned out drastically...and is still going. I keep just massaging in the vitamin shampoo and hoping for the best. We'll get through it...just like we did when so many of us stalled at 6 weeks out...just like we are getting through our strictures and food intolerances together. We'll make it! Julie

WOW!!! What a relief this thread is!!!! I've started losing hair in recent days and I'm getting all the protein I need. I'm so glad to hear this is normal! Whew! Thanks ladies! I love this board.

Knock wood, mine is still staying put. I started taking Biotin about 6 weeks ago and started with the Nioxin shampoo/conditioner/treatment last week. Getting plenty of protein and fluids too. I hope this all works. J

I take my biotin everyday, but my hair is falling out too. I have very thick hair, so I can afford to lose some. It has also lost some of it's shine and it's getting a little frizzy.

Since 3 weeks after surgery I started taking biotin once a day, about 2 weeks ago I noticed losing mopre than usual hair. So I am taking Biotin twice a day & its doing the trick. Used to be I liked waking up & looking in the mirror to see change. now I look in the brush for hair loss!!! But all in all I am doing great!
