Excessive Hair Loss!!!

I am drinking 3 protien drinks a day totaling around 84 grams of protien. I use Unjury which is excellent. So my question is should I increase it to one more scoop a day? Also do you think that adding fiber to one shake a day is inhibiting my protein absorbtion?

I am greatful for any help you can provide.

You are right on schedule for hair loss after your revision! It shows up 3-6 mos. after surgery and lasts for several months, google telogen efluvian. You can drink all the protein you want but it won't help, neither will fiber or biotin. You just have to wait it out, some get hair loss and some don't, it's just part of the ride.

Thanks, that makes me feel better. I have been losing hair steadly since my band was placed in 2008 but this time it is excessive.

I had revision from RNY to DS then a second surgery a week later due to complications. It has been almost 6 months and my hair loss has slowed. I started using Rogane for Women.  It does not end the loss or make hair grow but  It slowed the loss and the new growth is supposed to be healthier.  Just cut it short. I did and I get tones of compliments.

Best,

Thanks, I will think about the haircut. My little boy uses my hair for his security blanket, if I cut it he would cry for days. But I bet it would look fuller if it were shorter.

Based on advise from the therapist (she had surgery years ago) from our center before this newest NUT and upped protein to 100-120 and I take biotin (5/5000 depending on the unit) daily.

I had the band removed 4.5 months before they sleeve.  My hair hit the 3 months cycle from the band and was fallen out from that and than the sleeve.  Double whammy.  That is when she said no way was 60/70 g protein enough.  With the new program and cutting my hair short, it is now fuller and healthier and much easier to care for. Loving the bounce.

My hair has been mid-back, waist length most my life.

 

It happens. Wouldn't hurt to increase your protein, but hair loss generally occurs regardless. It can be a little upsetting, but when you compare it to other things.......no big deal really.

Congrats on your revision!!!
