Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

the two brands I like and continue to use are powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and Syntrax. Unjury you can only get online (from Unjury). You can get Syntrax products either online directly from them or through retail outlets (Web or walk-in stores). BariatricPal Store sells it - so does Vitamin Shoppe. There are probably several other outlets as well. With both brands, you can get samples - and I would recommend that. There's nothing worse than buying a big tub of something that you hate. Protein is not cheap!!

My hair is thin enough without losing more. I may have to do a wig if it gets really bad. QVC here I come.

Unfortunately Hair loss is just par for the course. I'm 14 months post surgery. I started losing hair right around the 3 month mark. I lost quite a bit. My hair is about half as thick as it use to be. The good news is your hair will grow back. Mine has just started to. I have baby hair again at 32 years old lol!! Just hang in there and don't let the hair loss get you down.

Try collagen Protein Powder Dr. Axe... It's tasteless you can add to warm drinks and it has lots of benefits, one of them is hair and nails growth. I take it for my join pain but it helps my hair and nails as well.

I am pre-op, but have a few kinds of Protein that I like. Celebrate makes some great favors--chocolate mint and iced Decaf coffee are my favorite. I also love the Premier Protein ready made shakes--banana flavored is awesome!

      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.
