Questions about hair loss

I know hair loss is somewhat normal after WL surgery, but does anyone know about how long it takes till your hair stops falling out? Mine just started and so far it's not too bad, but I was just curious. Also, has anyone colored their hair when it was falling out? If so, did that make things worse?

I colored my hair twice during the time that I was losing it. I started around 4 months and it just stopped last month. So it lasted about 5 months all together. I finally cut it up past my shoulders. I started with a lot of hair so I still have a lot. It will stop falling out just make sure your getting all your protein in. I was worried I was going to go bald but last time I got it cut my hair dresser kept saying you have so much hair. I was thinking man and I have lost a lot. When I colored my hair the lose didn't get worst. Good luck in your journey. Melissa 337/180/170

Thanks Melissa. I have a lot of hair too, so I guess I shouldn't worry too much.

Barb- I am right smack in the middle of hairloss. It started for me in Feb and has not slowed. Unlike you, my hair was thin to begin with- no one has noticed anything but me! However, I have continued to color my hair about every six weeks and it does not seem to have any impact one way or another. However, I hope it ends soon! -Nan

Nan, I hope for your sake that your hair stops falling out soon. Luckily, I have thick hair. Today I'm starting the protein drinks again in the hopes that the hair loss will stop soon. Are you getting 60 grams a day? I know I'm not. My doctor said that's how much we need. Thanks for the info on hair coloring. My grays are showing and they look bad, so if it hasn't made any difference in your's and Melissa's hair then I am going to color my hair this weekend.
