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!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
