The hair loss is starting...

If I put it in a pony tail, will my head fall off instead? Seriously, it's just a little so far but I've been noticing it for about a week. I'm trying to up the protein a little but I just can't stand the protein shakes. Any suggestions? (aside from shakes)

girl its been abou 3 weeks for me ,i got my hair cut,i uped my protien but it has'nt stopped or really slowed down,just has to run its coarse thank god we do'nt go bald,i can't picture me in a wig,,,oh by the way i'm from up by nelsonville,,heard of it?? live in fla for 16 yrs now..good luck!! diana

Yep... mine's been coming out by the handfull for about 6 weeks now. It's always been really thick, though, so not too noticable to others, but certainly is to me! I'm Amy, by the way, never posted here before. I had lap Duodenal Switch 12-19-05

Hi Susan, My hair has also started falling out in chunks (even when I use a pick to comb it!) I know Biotin is supposed to help. And making sure you get enough protein. I try to get 60 g minimum. I have this icky "vanilla cake batter" tasting protein powder from cost-co but I added a scoop of unsweeted cocoa poweder and a packet of splenda and then mix it with water and milk for 16 oz of 36 grams of protein. I also found drinking it with a straw makes it more tolerable (can't smell it as much). I love beef jerkey. It's low in fat and carbs, high in protein, and best of all, it's portable!! (Great for a student on the go, LOL). My hair was falling out before surgery due to stress too! Luckily I have about five pounds of hair so it's not too noticable (except around my hair line - bangs anyone?) A new hair cut may also help! Jessie L.
