I drink one a day as well' date=' it's call Xtreme smoothie, it's really good, 11 oz 35 gram of Protein, plus Vitamins and minerals, it's kind of expensive, around 32 for a twelve pack.[/quote']

Where do you get this protein?

Struggling tonight... I've been dealing with exhaustion (and I KNOW its because I've been lacking in protein), well.. Needless to say, I gained 5 lbs!! Ugh. So discouraging. So today I got back on the wagon and have had 93 grams of Protein today and did a "Couch to 5k" work out.

So far I've had an ok week. (I hope I don't regret saying that!) I'm looking forward to starting my new job in pediatric orthopedics on Monday and moving in the next week or two. Hope things keep moving forward. Both Bari doc and uro said to wait everything out, they think I'm on the up and up! Needing some prayers just in case!

Don't you worry about those 5 pounds, you either were retaining Water or were standing abnormally on the scale. Water water water. You'll be a ok and we're all right here with you! We can do this!

My lack of Protein is catching up to me in more ways than one... This is just from combing my hair after my shower tonight...

I'm with you on the Hair loss thing. I swear I could make a carpet out of all I've dropped!

[Rhyzell 70]

OK folks.... I get at least 80 and up to 100 grams of Protein a day. I take my one a day plus my calcium citrate, zinc, Biotin, folic acid, B multi, gall stone meds and last cholesterol med (which may stop soon) and I'm still exhausted. I seem to need more sleep now than before and I'm 83 lbs lighter than I was on Jan. 1. WHHHYYYYYYY?

Mine too so I've been researching. Hair loss is common 3-4 months after ANY major surgery, our bodies are just recovering and it somehow shows itself in the keratin hair follicles. About 6 articles I read all said it is completely normal and will return to normal after about 6 months from surgery with a normal diet (which means focus on protein, Water, and green vegetables plus a good Multivitamin with zinc). Which all made me feel better!

I interviewed for a new position at my job today (a promotion). It felt incredible to fit all the way in the chair. I was able to focus on the questions instead of wondering if the chair was about to break from under me. I gave a great interview and feel hopeful of the results.
