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.

      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.
