Protein Questions !!

Yet another question...... What is the highest protein drink or mix you can get and where at? What is the highest protein FOOD you can eat (besides liver..GAG! ) ? Is there a liquid you can take that is all protein ( I thought someone brought this up at the support meeting. They said it tasted like dirty feet , but im will to try it...lol...) The reason Im asking is that hair loss is my biggest FEAR. Im wanting to get all the info I need to avoid this when the time comes. Thank you all so much ...Stacy XOXO

Stacy...I am pro-op as well, so I am no expert. But I just went to my first visit with the surgeon and he said he has never noticed hair loss on any patient...they may have complained about it, but he, a good-looking man, said he has never been able to see the loss. Now, he might just be saying that.....I'm not sure. I do know that almost everone on this web site, say the loss is temporary and when your weight loss slows, it grows back. Someone on here is taking hair vitamins in a pink box from Wal-mart...I don't remember who...but I'm sure I'll be in line buying those suckers. I know if you go on the main message board here, you can look up past questions under certain catergories...and I have read questions and replies on hair loss. I hope your appt. went well Deb

Protein http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OSSG-Protein/?yguid=133658815 copy and paste this link. There is a lot of good info on protein here. You do have to become a member of yahoo groups, but no big deal. Whey protein and low carbs or no added sugars is your best bet. You can try going to www.vitalady.com and order samples. Proscore, Pure Whey, Real Meals (see ad banner on this site), Nectar, Zero Carb Isopure are all brands of protein. We can only absorb 30 grams at a time, so don't drink more than this at a time or it is wasted. The liquid tastes horrible one brand is called Cherimino. 2T = 30 grams, but hold your nose and chug it. Hair loss, my opinion, no matter what you do, it is going to happen. Go ahead and up your protein, use the shampoo take the hair and nails vitamins, whatever: I bet you still lose your hair. I did. It happens 4-6 months out and lasts a couple of months, then the hair grows back. TEMPORARY.

Stacy, I'm pre-op also but I'm already having hair fall out from my under active thyroid but it still comes back.. So I guess that just a question we'll have to asked our surgeon maybe they might have an answer inquiring minds want to know ......Sheila
