protein and b-12

hi all. i went to the drs yesterday and am pleased that i've lost 55 pounds. he was also pleased. he prescribed me b-12 nasal spray. has anyone else ever heard of that? also, i'm now at the stage where i'm losing quite a bit of hair (at least to me), so he told me to get biotin and drink protein drinks. can anyone suggest some good ones with alot of protein in them that i can get from regular stores (gnc, walmart,kmart etc...) i would appreciate any input. thanks sue

Congratulations to you on your weight loss so far. I bought Biotin from GNC. I got 2500mg which I take 4 times a day. As far as protein drinks I drink unjury which I get from their website, plus I started drinking Atkins protein shakes (which has 20g) per serving. I hope all this helps and please keep up the good work. Fran

Hi! I haven't been around much since my surgery but I love the posts I have read here today. How helpful they have been. In response to the B12, I take a shot in the muscle once a month. Easy and cheap. For protein drinks I make Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast with Skim Milk. I stir in one scoop of Unjury unflavored protein powder. That brings the total protein to 30 grams for the drink. It is the largest source of protein that I get in the day. I have trouble getting things down and through my pouch. I have had one stricture and am afraid that I am heading that way again. Thank goodness for Carnation Breakfast! I would not get anywhere enough protein other wise. Best of luck! Tammy

Sue,,at Walmart they have Advant-Edge premium Whey Protein..its about $14.00 for a big tub and you only need 1 scoop for about 20grams of protein. Mix 1 scoop protein mix,1cup milk,1/ cup ice some bannana and blend,,its great and you get about 30 grams of protein per drink. you can also add some peanut butter for more protein..god blees you ...ron in Arizona
