My trouble is that I am very allergic to dairy, so I can't manage to get enough Protein. Anyone have this experience?

I have always experienced a lot of hair loss especially after surgery. My hairdresser suggested Biotin daily and to make sure I brush my hair a lot even if it is only one a day. (I wear mine up all day). Use a brush with bristles simular to what grandma used. When brushing brush the scalp. This messages and stimulates the scalp promoting growth. It has helped mine tremendously! I take 5000 mg of Biotin. Daily

The nutritionist at my hospital recommended Journey hair Balance at BariatricEating.com. It's a supplement, mostly B Vitamins and minerals.

I'm doing a hair loss experiment with my surgery. Other than the first 2 days of Clear Liquids, I've never consumed under 90g of Protein. Now I'm up to 100g and I won't go below that. I also got a keratin treatment 13 days post op (protein treatment for your hair). I'm taking all my Vitamins as prescribed. I'm also going to use olaplex conditioner daily to promote growth and stop breakage.

I've got a few months to go to see if my experiment works or fails, but be assured I'll let you know then!

      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?

      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.
