Hair loss and Protien

If your are getting all your grams of protien did you still lose your hair??  My Dr. doesn't think its from not getting enough protien its from hormone changes. I got thinkink if we really need the protien so our hair doesn't fall out then why don't we ever hear the vegatarians aren't losing their hair???

Vegetarians don't normally lose their hair because they eat protein.  Meat is not the only source of protein.  I have been a vegetarian for 25 years and my hair has always been quite healthy.

I did lose some hair after surgery and I think it was partly due to having trouble getting enough protein in the beginning.  It's also a reaction to anesthesia, called telogen effluvium.

Best, and easiest to understand explanation:

The vast majority of post ops lose hair. This includes vegeterians and those who eat meat proteins.  It's a result of many things--rapid wt loss, change in nutrients your body is used to, and trauma to your body. One woman in one of my support groups lost a lot of hair after RNY. The hair grew back. Then at around 17 months, she had a lower body lift. Guess what?? She lost a bunch of hair again. Childbirth, and major surgeries are both trauma to the body, and hair loss is common.  Take your supplements, eat as much protein as you can.  Each pateint is different, and so it the amount of hair loss.
