Hair shedding post FUE. Does the photo show lost hairs with grafts, or just normal hair shedding as expected post FUE? (Photo)

45 days post FUE. I know that it is normal to lose transplanted hair after an FUE, but could you please confirm if the attached photo shows normal hair shedding, or else maybe I lost hair attached to grafts/ follicles? Especially the hairs stuck together? These hairs in the pic came off when I rubbed them gently today (45 days after operation). I have only started to experience this kind of shock loss a week ago or so. I started heavy weight training 2 weeks ago as instructed by my doctor.

Answer: It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery. It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.
