Congrats! You look great!

TE (telegen effluvium) is part of severe calorie restriction and quick weight loss. Mine is finally growing back. I'm 2+ years out.

I eat all low fat Proteins on the planet except soy for the most part. And most of my Protein is animal based rather than plant based, although I do eat 1+ lbs of veg per day and there is some amount of protein in those plants.

The ones I love:

eggs/egg whites

2% cottage cheese

non fat Greek yogurt

Premier Protein in coffee = proffee lattes

Fairlife Core Power chocolate blended with ice and nonfat Greek yogurt to make a milkshake

tuna in pouch (water packed)

salmon in pouch (water packed)

sardines in Water

Boar's Head Turkeys + Lacey Swiss roll-ups/wraps

Oscar Meyer Naturals Ham

tuna salad made with pouch tuna + cottage cheese + hb egg + green onion + dijon + vlasic dill relish

salmon

shrimp

basa fillets

chicken breasts

turkey cutlets

ground turkey

ground chicken

pork loin/tenders

lean beef

90/10 ground beef

ribeye steak trimmed of visible fat

turkey pepperoni

turkey sausage

venison all cuts

lamb lean cuts

reduced fat cheeses

fresh mozzarella

nuts/seeds/nut butters

nonfat Fairlife milk

nonfat buttermilk

low fat sour cream

temporary Hair loss is extremely common with bariatric surgery. But....it'll grow back. I lost hair (but not a lot...) from about month 6 to month 9. For most of us, you're the only one who'll notice it.

      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.
