Topic: RE: how many calories an protein do you get???
I had my surgery on 9/17/07. I am eating just about what you are. My caloric intake ranges from 800 to 1100/day with 60 to 90 g. of protein. I try to keep the protein closer to the 90 g/day range. I just met with my nutritionist last week. She said that as long as I continue to exercise AND include weight training, I can go as high as 1400 calories/day. Generally, she wants me to be closer to the 1000+ calories/day as opposed to 800, so it sounds like what you are doing is right on track.
Topic: RE: Are you where you thought you'd be?
I had RNY on 9/28/07 and am down 82 lbs. as of this morning. Overall, I am doing well, but I do still struggle with eating the right things sometimes. I just try to remind myself of where I was before the surgery (nothing but junk food, fast food and diet sodas) and keep trying to make changes little by little. I don't get sick hardly ever from what I eat, so I must be doing something right 
. I haven't lost much hair yet, but I did cut it short just in case. My new cut is super-different from anything I have had EVER (angled bob with blunt-cut bangs like Katie Holmes), but I was really ready for a major change.
I try to work out at least 4X/week, but I need to add more weight lifting to my regimen. I am pretty happy with my progress so far, but I sometimes get down on myself knowing it could be better.
Still, I am glad every day that I had this opportunity and so optimistic about the future!

Topic: RE: Hair loss
I too am losing my hair by the handfuls! I am very scared about this as I've never had a problem. Has anyone tried anything that actually works? I'm very nervous that I am going bald!
Topic: RE: Hair loss
I tried the Biotin- Did nothing. My Nut said it really doesn't work & that I wasted my money- She said to increase my protein-I am trying!!!!. I've heard from other boards that it does stop, I just hope soon
Lots of Luck
