hair loss

Y do wls patients loose hair? I was told from my doctor if i don't get in 60 to 80 grams of protein a day... i will loose alot of hair. I am trying not to b bald in a couple of months

Protein has nothing to do with and a doctor should definitely know better than that!   Google Telogen effluvium and you will see why anyone who undergoes major surgery or stress may lose their hair.  

Kim i looked it up like u said. And i read plenty of sites but it also mentioned that inadequate amounts of protein is also a cause of hair loss. So i tend to keep my protein level up. Ive been using nectar protein which is 23 grams of protein ....3 times a day plus food.. and i am 1 month post op

You are doing great and will obviously not be suffering from a protein deficiency!   Very few of us EVER get a protein deficiency - even those who don't get as much protein per day as you - but quite a few of us suffer from hairloss!

I was one of the lucky ones who have never struggled to get in my protein (even though I've never had a protein shake or bar!!!) and haven't suffered any determined hairloss with any of my surgeries - I think it's the luck of the draw to be honest!!  

Hi Kim, What is nectar protein? where do you get it? Thanks

Its syntrax nectar protein drinks and it have alot of flavors. I just recently bought some. I got the ice tea flavor. Its okay. I drink it when its really cold. I scoop is 23 grams of protein to a 8 oz-12 oz drink. And i try 3 a day

I usually get in all my protein, but I still lose hair.  I have lots of handfuls that come out almost every day. :(

Have to go with Kim on this one! I have had great protein numbers, labs done 2 times already in 6 months. I have quite a bit of hair loss. Nothing you can do or take! If it is going to happen it happens. Good thing is, it grows back too!
