A toxic Liver is the root of many health issues including hairloss. There are over 400 illnesses related to the Liver. Too much Protein is harmful for the liver.

for more reading ... there is an amazing book called

"The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse"

by Andreas Moritz.

It is making a lot of sense to me.

Oh and I take Biotin too

I am not convinced that it is lack of Protein for Hair loss, I have read many articles where hair loss is a side effect of weightloss in general, plus I am very confident that I never got that amount of protein before I was a carbo'holic. I had to keep a food journal for three months before surgery and I gurantee that I get more protein now than I did then and I did not lose hair like I have since I started this journey. Just my take on it. Crystal

If you are just looking for ways to boost your Protein (lots of Protein helps you feel full), these are the ways that work best for me, besides the obvious breakfast/lunch/dinner choices:

1) Protein Shots. I ordered some from body choice nutrition that are 25g protein for 100 calories in 2.9 oz!

2) Get some unflavored Protein powder and add it to everything creamy.

Hope this helps!

I got a fill on Monday and My doc gave me a list of good Protein choices. I won't list the meat, chicken, fish, etc because we all know these things have protein. These items surprised me.

Asparagus

Quinoa

Lentils 29%

Spinach 49%

Kale 49%

Broccoli 49%

Tofu 43%

Soybean 54%

Wheat Germ 31%

pumpkin seeds

Almonds

Dulse (seaweed)

And those green drinks like Green Plus and Megapower

The Premier Protein ready-to-drink shakes are 30grams of Protein -- and taste good.

Also I like the unjury powder - 20+ grams per serving. I like the chocolate mixed with skim milk and a frozen banana. The strawberry mixed with crystal light and some frozen strawberries is yummy.

I use a MAGIC BULLET to mix/blend the protein powders.

I try to get 2 Protein drinks a day - assuring my protein intake. But that also is approx 300 of my daily calories. So be careful with that too.

GOOD LUCK!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
