It's not for the lack of protein --At least not for me!!!
I was looking through my journal and came to the realization that after EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY SURGERIES, including the C-sections, I had a bout with significant hair loss 3-4 months after the surgery. Every one of them. This proves to me, that it's not the protein (I breast fed all three of my boys, so I made sure I got every ounce of nutrients I needed, including protein). After my abdominoplasty I lost so much hair, my new PCP had me tested for Lupus (it was negative), thyroid deficiencies, etc. and sent me to a dermatologist. It was the dermatologist that told me it was the stress of the surgery and the anesthesia. It made so much sense after going back to read my very own journal and the pattern. Lite bulb went off.
