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:

      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.
