Why am I still losing my hair?

I am almost 5 months post-op and have lost 80 lbs (YEAH) but the hair loss issue has kicked in and I am freaking out. I am try very very hard to keep my protein intake to at least 60 grams a day and am also using Nioxin shampoo and Scalp therapy. I have been using it for about 3 weeks. I am also taking all my vitamins, calcium supplements and even bought special "Hair, skin, and nail" vitamins that include Biotin. Should the hair loss seem to slow soon? It still comes out in handfuls after I wash it, and Lord forbid if I blowdry and try to style it. Its all over my shoulders, in the sink, and on the floor of the bathroom. I went last week and got my hair cut to a shorter length and talked to a stylist speacializing in this. She said the Nioxin was the best and I should see some results. someone please tell me this gets better. My husband has told me "It will quit falling out when its all gone" I smacked him! He was just kidding of course. Any thoughts, or suggestions, or just even a pep talk? Thanks everyone! Ya"ll are great!
