More Protein????

 Hello All,
 I had foot surgery and figured it would be a good idea if I upped my protein a little. I was already getting in 70 grams a day, but figured since my body was trying to recover it might not hurt to add more. Do you think it will help me any or do I just have it stuck in my head that it will? I know a little more protein doesn't really hurt anything.
Thanks Everyone

RENEE are you getting all your protein from food? if so you might not be getting all of it . i count food i eat as about 3/4 of what they say as for as the protein goes. so i still get a lot of my protein from Whey protein shakes or drinks. ...

 I'm getting some from food but mostly from protein drinks. I upped the protein in my drinks not from my food.

I get 26 g from my protein powder a day and try to eat between 60and 80 grams also. I think as long as you stay under 120 a day you are in no danger of getting to much. I am hoping it will help me keep my hair. I would think it would help you heal also. I am glad to see you back on the board and hope you are feeling better.I can't wait to see the new skinny you.

Susie,
 Thanks! I knew it wouldn't hurt me, I just wasn't sure it would help any. If nothing else I got my scale moving again.LOL I was stuck on 77 and 78 lbs lost for what seemed to be forever but finally down 83 now.
 As for my hair OMG I'm losing it big time. Whats really weird though is what isn't falling out seems to be growing faster (does that make since lol). I hate to even wash my hair now because that's when it seems to come out the most.
 As for the new skinny me I still have a ways to go, but I am starting to notice it. I got so tickled the other day I was wearing a pair of jeans that Janet gave me (our favorite pair) and went to the grocery store and got asked out LOL and then Larry kept checking me out in them. I call them my lucky jeans now. LOL OH how I love the little things in life, that gives us huge boost's.

The extra protein will help with healing and also, might slow down the hair loss.  Some people loose their hair some don't.  Mine gets pretty thin after any surgery, but it does get better. 
I don't know how you can stand the foot thingy,...geeze that has gotta hurt???  I know they say it heals pretty fast, my heart goes out to you. 
You take care and get you some more protein,...

Marylin,
Thanks!! I was pretty sure the extra protein would help but just wanted to make sure. I have thick hair already so losing a little wouldn't hurt anything, but geeezzzz not this much. LOL I always lose alot of hair after a surgery to, so this really kicked it in.
 This makes my 4th foot surgery so I'm hoping this one will do the trick and I wont have to do anymore.
Thanks again.
