WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF INSUFFICIENT Protein?

The first sign of lack of Protein is often fatigue and/or weakness. Not just the feeling that we didn’t get enough sleep last night, but deep fatigue….or weakness where it’s hard to get through the day.

A second sign is weight loss plateau. When we don’t get enough protein, there is increasing evidence that the body tries to store calories rather than burning them. We hear from many patients who do get enough protein that they are successful in reaching their weight loss goal.

A third sign is hair loss, and we believe it is often preventable. While one cause of Hair loss following the surgery is the “shock” of the surgery to the body, another leading cause of hair loss in weight loss surgery patients is insufficient intake of protein.

i am not losing hair but the weight loss is slow or stalled. hummmmmmmmmmmmm

We all hit stalls. It doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. Sometimes, your body just has to catch up with what you're doing. Take a deep breath, relax, and stick to the program.

      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.
