 I am 3 months out... haur loss has accelerated to an alarming rate. Knowing it could happen and living it are 2 different animals.  Really bummed. I am working hard at protein intake and vitamins...along with everything else. I am pleased with my weight loss, but I want my hair back...

crossing my legs!!!!
Still running into people who have not seen me in a while.
Lots of very positive feedback. I know in the big scheme of things, the hair loss is a bump in the road. I really do not like it!! Hope it comes back.
Gotta go eat some protein!

I totally understand - have lost hair after several major surgeries and I really dread it this time - should hit me around New Years - I'll be whining too. Like you say - knowing it is going to happen and when it actually happens - two different things!! Not much advice - but just think - yours will be coming back as mine starts to fall out - as "they" say - this too shall pass.
Good luck.

Is your protein over 80 grams? Try upping it another 10-20 grams a day. When I did that, my hair loss stopped almost immediately. My husband even noticed because he wasn't finding my hair everywhere (mostly in the shower).

Adding protein doesn't work for everyone, but it definitely won't hurt anything.

I started losing hair a couple of weeks ago at 3 months out. It is literally coming out in handfuls in the shower. Like you , I knew it was a possible side effect, but didn't give it much thought until it actually started happening to me!

Saw my doctor a week ago for a folow-up...she said that I just need to ride it out. Make sure you're eating all your protein and keep taking your vitamins. This too shall pass!
