BBdoodle 483 Posted October 16, 2012 Are you getting your total Protein in daily? that is the #1 key in preventing Hair loss. Also my surgeon has me on Biotin. I am 6 months post op and have very fine thin hair to begin with and cannot afford to loose any more - LOL. I get a minimum of 64 grams of protein daily and never miss a day without protein or biotin. I have not had any hair loss yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted October 16, 2012 I did suffer from Hair loss. Up the Protein, take Biotin and I also use garnier fall fight Shampoo and conditioner. 1 Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They definitely think my hair will start to fall out in the next couple months. =( Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dry roasted edamane is a good snack too....14 grams of Protein in 1/4 cup serving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uniqueladybug 80 Posted October 18, 2012 Never had edamame. I've heard a lot of people talk about it. What does it taste like? Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very crunchy. It feels me up extremely quickly....its not often that I can actually eat the whole 1/4 cup. My husband loves them too and he had never tasted either until after I had surgery. 1 Uniqueladybug reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crystalcdbailey 13 Posted October 19, 2012 I will be honest. I am not eating enough of Protein. I have got to get me some Proteins shakes also. I hate meat now, but I am getting better about eating it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They put me back on strict liquids for two weeks =( Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12 1 PhotoChic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
