Topic: RE: How much protein?
Sunny,
I do not think I am the best to answer this question. I just went for my three month check up and got in alot of trouble b/c I am not getting in enough protein. On a good day I may get in like 25-30grams a day. I have gotten better with in since my last appt, but its really hard for me to get in more than that.
I do not like my cals to get over 500 but then I found that I was starving my body, which was causing alot of pains I was having in my stomach. So, I have since also upped my cals to about 600 a day, sometimes more.
I have not been exercising all week, but my back has been hurt.
I would do just what your surgeon suggests that you do, he is the one who is going to know best.
Best of luck to you,
Melissa

Topic: RE: calcium citrate in a chew
I bought some liquid at Vitamin World and just couldn't choke it down. I have no idea what "petites" are, but for me the chews work fine.
Topic: RE: Has anyone started to lose their hair?
I have been losing hair and it seems to be getting worse each week. I have been taking Biotin and Zinc right along so not sure if it is helping or not. My nurse practioner said I would just have to live through it.I had salad for the first time yesterday with a South Beach Pizza. Yummy - both things. I had red lettuce and cuke with low carb ranch dressing. I chewed and chewed, and did fine with it. It was also my first time with the pizza thing and that was great. I had the one with chicken, spinach and red peppers.

Topic: RE: How much protein?
These are all good suggestions. I thought the protein was too low and truthfully, I can't imagine taking the calories any lower..it would just be too difficult. I walk 3-4 miles about 4 times a week. I could try increasing that a little bit. I'm disappointed. The surgery hasn't appeared to make any difference in my ability to lose weight. I would have lost on 600 cals and all this walking before the surgery. Where is the malabsorption help? I will add some more protein and see if that helps. I've been afraid of hair loss at this level. Thanks for the advise everyone! Sunny
