constipation and hair loss

I am 8 months out now from my gastric bypass surgery and still haven'tfound the soloution to my chronic constipation. Tried lots of things but only milk of magnesia seems to really help but I get soo tired of taking it, any other hints? Also my hair is falling out by handfuls after shampooing, was always thin but now getting thinner. When will this perk up again, it's really beginning to get to me. So far I have lost 82 lbs. but these two problems have been driving me nuts! I have been following the guidelines but with no luck on these problems. Any suggestions?

Beth, I found constipation tips is taking two stool softeners a day helped me and when it got really bad i got a perscription for the doctor for Miralax Powder, (it dont taste and it is mixed with juice or crystal light). As for the loss of hair i am 1 1/2 years out now and still losing some hair but i found taking BIOTIN (you can get at any walmart in vitimin isles and its really cheep) and my doctor knows and recommended it for me and I am doing great actually had my year and a half check up today and lost 165 lbs to total he is very pleased with my progress. If i can help with anything else feel free to email me. Good luck and keep up the good work. Diana , WI 512/347/???

hair loss can occur more or less, just depends on the person. Usually it will start to regrow after awhile. As far as constipation goes, are you drinking enough liquids? Usually if the stool is dry and hard, you are not taking in enough liquid. Also, the more you exercise, the more your gut grinds everything up better.
