What happens when you don't get enough protein everyday?



Recommended Posts

Thank you everyone!!! Very helpful I will go to GNC tomorrow and see about getting the Protein Shots as the thought of my hair falling out is AWFUL and if it helps with loosing faster I am all for that. thanks again

Google Biotin, this is what I take for the hair lose. I use the chewable GNC brand and take two soft chews perday. My hair dresser even noticed the differenct in my hair. I will warn you that the Protein shots are pretty nasty, well at least I think they are, they are strong in flavor, sour and bitter. I had a hard time finding a Protein Powder I liked, I do like the unflavored brands as stated about and now I drink Pure Protein Frosty chocolate. Protein Drinks are so individualized and what you may like today in six months your taste buds change.

I was banded Dec 3rd. I am having a real hard time getting 60 grams of Protein in everyday. Does anyone know what happens when we do not get enough protein everyday? Thank you

Protein is essential to losing weight, so if your not getting enough protein it will be harder for you to drop pounds. Lack of protein can also cause your hair to thin and fall out. If your having a hard time getting in protein, the one thing I have found I can keep down post-op is "egg drop soup" lots of protein with chicken broth and egg! I can only have about 1/2 cup at a time though.

      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.
