HAIR IS SHEDDING, need protein suggestions ASAP



Recommended Posts

My hair is starting to shed on the right side and I know it's all because I abandoned drinking Protein. I am currently drinking Premier Nutrition and I HATE IT...Since I don't want my hair to continue to fall out and I know I need to drink this stuff Does anybody have any alternatives that they happen to stomach each and every day. THANKS. DESPERATE AND GOING BALD!!

Go to Diet Direct and order the blueberry Protein pancakes. Eat three of them a day and you will have 45 grams of protein . I never lost any hair. Good luck!

I had it happen briefly and it came out for all the above reasons. I will add that Iron deficiency/vitamin deficiency contributes to hair loss.

And Protein DOES play a part in Hair loss. If you notice people that are Protein deificient from eating disorders etc do have porblems with shedding hair.< /p>

Anyway I made sure I got in at least 60grams of protein per day and NOT at one time. I drink Body Fortress whey protein. I buy from Walmart. I love it. I use strawberry. It blends easily and has smooth taste versus gritty like some. I also take Biotin daily when I take my Multivitamin and Iron tab. Hair loss subsided after about 2 months. I also went proactive and cut my hair short as you can see from my pic so I wouldnt have a melt down

That happened to me also. They had me start taking a Vitamin called Biotin. You can get it in any store or drugstore in the Vitamin section. They also suggested Magnesium along with it if I didn't see any improvement. I have seen the difference and continue to take the Vitamins. Hope this helps.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
