Hair

Hi there Julie...congrats on your coming to the losing bench...bet you didn't think some of the losing would be in your hair...lol...I started losing my hair at about the same time as you and got really freaked out about it...I had really long hair and it was clumping out...but then after I worried about it and it got worst I decided it was time for another change...so I found a great short style and cut it all off....I don't regret it one bit....I am now three months short of 2 years out and my hair has grown back beautiful and get this it  came back curly...it was bone straight before now I look like I got a sprial perm....so my suggestion is find someone you trust with your hair and get a new dazzling hair do and most of all don't worry about it....it will stop....I did also dbl up on my protein and vitamins for a short bit to boost the regrowth along....under my surgeons suggestion....I hope you have a wonderful holiday season...

Thanks for the comment.  I also have straiht hair and was so hoping for the curliness that people speak of.  I guess the only way to do that is to lose some of it.  I have an appointment this week for a cut.  i figure shorter hair falling out will be easier to manage than longer hair falling out. Thanks again, Julie

Believe it or not, people shed.  some people shed in the summer, some in the winter.  If you have a ton of hair, you don't really notice it.  I am thinning and went to a dermatologist.  She had me add omega 3 fish oil and biotin to my diet.    I also switched from chewable vitamins and calcium to a powder version for better absorption.  My hair is finally starting to thicken.  My hair always seemed to thin in the summer time and I color every 5 weeks.  It takes a couple of months to see a difference, but it will come.  Hair loss is common with rapid weight loss.  Keep the faith and know that it will grow back when your weight evens out.  If not, there's always Rogaine.  Good luck.
