    I am a registered nurse, and the reason you are losing hair is not due to low protein. You need to take at least 30 mg of Zinc each day AND take bioten. This should fix the problem within a few months. Your surgeon should have had you in this before surgery.

    I am also just four months out and my hair is falling out in handfuls. I swear if I just think about my hair it falls out. I have taken multi vitamins, b12, biotin, and calcium citrate since surgery and it has not helped. My doctor said it is because I have lost too much weight too fast and my body is in shock. I had very thick wavy hair and now it is very thin and brittle. I will have to get a wig soon if it does not stop it is that bad.
