Hair falling out
I'm five months out down 78lbs.
It started last week, my mom was at my house and she freaked out when she saw how much came out during my shower!
I'm going to see my stylist to get my hair cut into a bob since its coming out so bad.
Anything I Can take to prevent.
Nothing. Google Telogen Effluvium for the reasons why your hair is falling out.
Maintain your good diet and exercise and if you want to throw money at it, get some biotin. Getting your hair cut shorter and layered will help with appearance as will a good textured colour (highlights/lowlights) It will stop eventually and you will get to see the little "sprouts" coming through!

Try Biotin from the vitamin shoppe, it worked pretty good for me during one of my many weight loss adventures

Right there with ya! My hairdresser was really concerned and I did go with a bob and long layers to help 'pump it up' and I have left my beloved organic/vegan shampoo to use Biotin to help what is left be more visible. When I am in the sun, you can clearly and easily see my scalp. URGH!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
I changed my diet before ever going to my consultation because the surgery is just a tool and figured that it will help in the long run and had this same problem. I take Biotin and they are 1.000 but I take five a day and have noticed a big difference in my regrowth and the amount of loss. Most times it takes about three to four weeks to notice growth but by week two you won't have near as much come out
