I have finally hit the 90 pound loss mark.  I am so excited to be wearing smaller clothes and feeling as good as I do.  I just wish my hair would stop falling out. Ive increased my protien but it is still falling out in gobs.  HELP

WHOOHOOO... congrats on the weight loss! Im sorry about the hair.. I did hear about increasing protein.. but I also recall hearing something about your body reacting to surgery and it is known to do that..and any trauma personally to the body..whi*****ludes weight loss in large amounts.. I suggest going on ebay and getting a wig.. oh please dont get offended.. I am seriously going to do that myself .. if I loose my hair.. I am still pre op and let me tell you..aint nothing greater than changing your look and hair color etc.. I think of it as...DH gets a new woman each time.. with out cheating.. HAHA.. ok.. seriouly..thats my opinion.. and on ebay its cheaper.. use pay pal too.. I got a head start though.. I bought a wig last year for personal pranks..yeah I went there..and got it at a thrift store.. this thing is awsome..lol.. anyhoo... another aid in helping hair loss that I know of is that rogaine for women..and Google natual hair loss remedies for women.. I also heard something about making a homemade paste and putting it on your scalp daily... but I have no clue what is in the paste besides natural items from your own kitchen.. I wish you the best of luck..and again..please please dont get offended by anything I said..

Best Wishes

Yeayyyyyyyyyy on the 90 lbs down. The hair thinning is a bummer, and many go through it. Usually it only continues for a few months, for some longer tho. Boitin is a b vitamin and helps promote new growth of hair. Many find it helps. Wishing you the best of luck in the thinning coming to a halt and new growth kicking in soon.

Lucy, you are doing great. I am using the biotin too, the hair loss is resolved for the moment. The hair will regrow as nutrition improves. Get in you protein. Hair and nails are mainly protein. You body will use the available protein for important muscles first, heart and muscles get theirs first, then hair and nails any leftover. One day at a time my friend. Hugs
