A hair loss song....
I remember the Phen-Phen diet and they stressed that if you had to little protein and to little fats, then you would lose your hair.....I am trying to keep the protein up without the calories. I try to drink one of the protein drinks a day to help and it's about all I eat but I still don't get in enough. I drink the 26 gms of protein but I mean how can you eat more protein if you can't eat but 1/2 to 3/4 cup of protein a meal?? I do take the biotin all the time and my nails are the best I have ever had.....It's just this other issue with the hair......
Okay dearheart this is the trick.....
I do a low carb slim fast (20grams of protein) in the morning, and about 2 hours later I do a protein shake (26 to 52 grams) or a Pure protein bar which is either 19 or 20 grams. Then for the rest of the day depending on if I am working I will chew on jerky or eat turkey. I have finally figured out the trick to protein. Either being rny or vsg we have to have protein from supplements. When you get futher out you will beable to eat more than what you do now.
I knew tis going in but thought i could do the shakes all the time...after 3 months I cut down to one and started suffering for it...So now at 18 months I do my regime and have nails and great hair to show for it.
As for the quality....as my hair stylist said.OMG your hair has grown over an inch since Febuary....who did your nails they look fantastic then she saw they were real and gasped.
Its the prtoein and the fact that all I do for shampooing and all is the same as I have been doing..no fancy overpriced shampoos or deep conditioners..just plain ole head and shoulders and going and having my hair done at a salon every few weeks..meaning..deep massages and letting her wash and dry it

being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it
I feel you on the hair sister! I got so sick of mine falling out I went and had it all cut off into a swing bob, and just for the heck of it I had my hair dresser throw a couple of colors on it too. It is short and sassy and even though it will continue to fall out I won't notice it so much since it is so short!

The hair loss is normal and not to the point of going bald or anything....After two other surgeries I lost some hair too, but this seems to be even more...It's not what I'd like to have happen, but I will put up with it as the lbs go down. It's a good exchange since I know now that it will come back! Don't let this sway you one bit.
