And I am having a hard time getting all my recommended Protein . Protein powders make me sick to the stomach any ideas on what else I can drink to get my protein in?Help I need help

Boy I wish I was losing that much! I had my surgery 3/14 and have list 44 pounds total... But recently I've only been losing 1/2 pound each week if that...sadly I'm still 60 pounds from goal so it's going to be a long haul unless something drastically changes.

I did alot of walking in the beginning and I go to the gym 2 times a week now. I do alot of walking now too. Maybe You should up your activity.

So the Hair loss DOES stop at some point, right?? I've been losing so much these last few weeks and I really don't want to lose any more because I will end up bald! Lol.

Hey sleevie wonder, how are you going? My hair has just started to come out. I have lost tolerance to the shakes for about three weeks so I dont know if that is part of the reason. My chair at work was covered, I just brushed the Wookie off and put it in the bin before anyone could see, yuk. I am glad it is temporary.

Hi, I hear you there, I started noticing Hair loss about a week ago. :( I've heard it lasts about two months but I sure hope not or I'll be bald too.

My hair is thin, but I have (had) a lot of it. Now every time I get up from the computer or my beadwork table I'm cleaning up strands. Hope it slows down ... I've been pretty careful about my protein... But if it all falls out I'll get a couple of wigs. Hair loss is nothing compared to feeling so good.

Fingers crossed, my hair is hanging in there. I keep a short bob and I wonder if that may cause less stress on the follicles. I've always taken Biotin and I keep getting my 60 grams of Protein. I've got a little hair to spare, but I still keep an eye on the bottom of my shower.....

I've been getting 60-G protein since day 3 postop, take all my supplements, including biotin. I'm believing if it's gonna happen it will.....seems like I did everything possible & still happened :(

I've decided I'm going to cut mine short as well. Right now it's pretty long, at least halfway down my back and now that it's thinning out it doesn't look too good.

My haircut will be planned for when I reach 199lbs though! Gotta keep then goals going lol. ~30lbs to go. Hoping by August.

      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.
