Hair today, gone tomorrow!!

Yep, it happened, my hair is really coming out. And no, I am not getting in enough protein, I'm sure that is one reason. I do believe I am also anemic. I finally got my surgeon's office to fax me my results from last month and my MCV was low and another one was high, it seems it is anemia. I am 4.5 months out and sooooo very tired, thought it was my new job but I can't keep my eyes open and just drag through the day. Make sure when you have your blood drawn that you get a copy. Keep an eye on it, a low end, if it keeps up could be abnormal for some people. We have to be our own advocates sometimes. so stay on your toes!!
Also, I think my D3 is too low but the way it is written it is hard to understand so I am making an appointment with my PCP and the dietician to get their outlook on it.

Get that protein in!!!

I am right there with you. My hair is falling out as well. I am getting in my protien and I take D3 supplements and now am in the normal range. I am not sure if I am anemic or not, I have not been tested. I too get tired but not as bad as I used to. Now it is just normal tiredness at the end of a long active day. I will say a prayer for you! I hope you feel better soon. Take care of you!

Wow, you are really coming along!! Thanks for the encouragment!

I am 5 mos out - my protein runs from 70 - 100 p/day -
I take Biotin for hair skin & nails, since before surgery, My labs are perfect and I am still losing my hair. I believe it is caused from our fast weight loss.
It will come back! It is about "dew rag" time for me.
