Since about a week or two ago, I've become less hungry. Problem is,, I am supposed to get 80-100 grams of Protein per day. That itself is a challenge to begon with but without bein hungry even worse. By around dinnertime I have an appetite so I can have dinner. I have been trying to make myself eat. Sometimes I've skipped Breakfast. I have a Protein Shake to replace a meal. I've only Bern having one shake a day. I don't know, maybe I'll try two.

Anyone have any ideas or have this problem? I'd appreciate the feedback. :)

If you are only eating one meal a day you should be supplementing with Protein Shakes. That is what I have done and have had not Hair loss, no stalls and I feel good. It is important to get all that Protein in...

Thanks, Nienie. That's what I'll try to do. I've been losing my hair a lot, luckily I have a lot so it's not too noticeable. I had a stall but now I started to lose quickly again. My doctors prefer my weight loss to slow down though. I am happy because I'm getting close to my goal.

Yes, I really need to try to get the protein in.

Thanks, again. :)

Up that Protein, have high protein Snacks, string cheese, greek yogurt, meat. Make sure you are getting all your fluids in and take all your Vitamins. I believe that you either lose hair or you don't and even when doing everything you are suppose to be doing it can happen.

the only thing I found tolerable is putting a scoop of Protein Powder in my coffee. Yes I drink one cup of coffee a day but I am also 14 months out. I find it is the only way to get those important grams in first thing in the morning. I dont like the consistancy the powder makes yogurt or puddings. It is so important to get that Protein in. Not only for our hair but for the bodies vital organs and muscle.

Hey there- I have the same problem most of the time. Everything is chocolatey this and Carmely that when it comes to protein stuff! To help up my protein I drink Isopure premixed drinks - they're like Gatorade, but yes, they have an aftertaste. :/ most days I can get a half of one down just fine- 20g right there. Also, for protein I eat lunch meat when I can (lean things, obviously).

I'm scared to try Isopure because of the aftertaste. I'll never know if I don't try :) I heard it comes in Grape Flavor!

The hospital I was in had Isopure. I was able to drink the grape. The fruit punch was disgusting. I have a BLue raspberry still in my fridge that I am scared to open. The aftertaste was not pleasant. Leaves a fuzzy feeling in my mouth. Just my opinion. :wacko:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
