Anyone sleeved over 3 months and not lost hair? How much protein are you eating?

 I am asking because I was looking at Dr Oz yesterday and he recommended increasing protein to those experiencing hair loss.  I was just wondering if upping my protein would help slow or stop it.  My surgeon recommends 60 grams per day, but I usually try to get at least 80 if I can.  If increasing it to like 100 grams would help, I will do it.  Just wondering what everyone elses experience was first.  Thanks for any input.

Nothing is going to stop it. I know plenty of women on here and another forum who got in over the recommended protein counts and they lost more hair than I did and I didn't even get close to the protein counts until I was 6-8 weeks out.

Scientifically, it's been proven that even biotin doesn't help with regrowth. It's temporary, hair grows back. I lost half of my hair by volume, by around 18 months out, it was pretty much back to it's pre-op fullness.

The attached topic with article explain this:

Also, make sure you take a good quality vitamin, eat within your guidelines, stay hydrated, and have your labs monitored.

I am 3 months and 2 weeks out... no hair loss yet.. I'm intaking around 60-80 grams of protein a day

I was told by my nut that everyone will lose hair after WLS. It's not about the protein but because your body goes through a shock with the surgery. Soon your hair will grow back. It shouldn't be a massive amount. You should notice a little more out in the shower and your hairbrush. If this problem occurs over a year post-op then she said it could be dietary.

That's what was explained to me...

I shoot for 100 grams of protein and have had no hair loss.

 I am 4 1/2 months out and have noticed very little hair loss, yes a little in the hair brush but not that much, I usually eat 60 gr of protein daily. 

 I didn't have a huge amount of hair to begin with since hypothyroidism took it's share already.  But I am starting to get a little nervous about the amounts still coming out.  

I'm just over 3 months and haven't noticed any excessive loss yet. There's always some in the brush but there always was. I'm expecting it to start any day now though! I get between 60-100 grams/day.

If it's going to happen, extra protein over and above what you need will not stop it- it is from the shock of the surgery, and the shock of rapid weight loss from reduced caloric intake. I lost tons when I lost a lot of weight w/o surgery years ago, and am currently losing again now. 

Something to note, ye**** your protein goals.. keep in mind, excess protein over what you need is not useful, but you don't want to be short for long periods. 70g a day is average for most women, more if weight lifting or athletic.. and more for men obviously. Later hair loss (not the loss that starts at 3-5mo out during rapid weight loss) is associated with low protein levels.. so if a year out you note all of a sudden your hair is thinning, time for labs!

 I am 3 months out and I have not experienced any hair loss. At least that I am aware of. I try to hit 60g protien per day, but I am not always sucessful at it.
