HAIR HAIR EVEYWHERE

So i thought i would have a nice bath before kids were up filled the tub got in and was relaxing till i washed my hair .I was sitting in a tub of my hair i have lost a bit here and there but this was unreal i could run my hands thought the water and was getting what seemed like handfuls than after i drained the tub there was still alot of hair (i do have longer hair) i guess i never thought i would lose so much at one time.

Most people seem to lose the most at 3 months or 50 lbs lost, whichever comes first.  I lost mine at 50 lbs and I see that is where you are at.  I had long dark hair and it was everywhere and it clogged the drains.  It will grow back in time.

Oh, lordy, don't say that!  I'm down 43 lbs!  Time to start binging! ;)  (Kidding, of course!)

The weight loss is worth it.  The weight loss is worth it.  The weight loss is worth it.  Sigh.

Boy do I know what you mean....I can see my scalp, but I have very thin hair anyway even before surgery as I have had low iron before and after surgery (no blood work yet until 5 months at the end of this month I get it done but I know it is probably still low even though I doubled my iron pills because I am constantly tired.... I really hope it grows back, but I am still happy 85 pounds is gone FOREVER!! lol

Melissa!

I'm 3 months out and 72 lbs down. A few weeks ago my hair  started falling out by the fist full. I had thick hair but now it is really starting to thin. I did my 3 month blood work a bit early and I  am low in iron, ferritin and D so have increase my supplements as  the bariatric centre staff advised. I'm also trying really hard to increase my protein from 60-80 g a day to 80-100+ in case that will help. All feedback on this fabulous site and from TWH is that it is temporary so fingers crossed!

My hair is long and super thick...I go get it thinned by more then HALF so I have stopped going to get it thinned in preperation for the hair loss :) 

Hope yours stops soon!  :)

So NOT looking forward to this... :(  I haven't had the hair loss yet, but I know it's just a matter of time.  I have longish hair (well, long for me, anyhow - a bit past my shoulders), but at the first sign of this, I'm going straight to the hairdresser and getting it chopped off into a very short cut for as long as it's falling out, and hopefully it will be less noticeable.

It's a real drag that it happened all at once like that for you, though!

Did anyone hear DNTO (CBC Radio) the other day, where the topic was hair loss due to medical issues or trauma?  They mentioned cancer, and I think some other traumatic event for someone else, but I didn't hear anything about bariatric surgery.  (But I didn't catch the whole program either.)

Mine is short (in prep for the loss) and I am finding it alllll over the place.  I just had to change my pillow case there was so much on it :( 

Either way...it will grow back right !

Nice to know iI am not alone in am going to try and up my protein to 80 to 100 and hope it helps. I had cut like 10 inches off all ready but may go even shorter never had short hair so may be fun to try something new have to always look on the good side of things. Ty for all your posts Niki

Do it Niki !   I just got a pixie cut and I LOVE it !!  I feel pretty and girlie :)
