Morning Sarah, My Dr and dietitian advised that I should ingest 100 grams of protein a day. Ingest - your body will only absorb about 75 % of that. So you need to get in 70 grams to your body. I lost a lot of hair and that is what they told me to get it back. It is growing back now! yea. Hint on getting that much protein. I drink a morning protein shake made with soy milk and yogurt. I get about 50 grams just from that. Eat a yogurt, cheese, peanut butter if able to help get the rest. By the way I found that after a week of taking the shake a lone in the morning I started to feel so much better. Had energy, felt energized to tackle anything. So good luck. Lynn

You are so right about the energy boosting, I am still pre-op and I have started drinking protein shakes, now 5 days and my energy has increased soooo much and I have lost 3 lbs as well, woohoo ~Melissa~

Thank's for the help. l have tryed the protein drink and did not like it but l need to find something. thank you again have a good day. sarah

Sarah, Have you tried the Unjury protein?? It's the ONLY one I have liked so far. It taste kinda like a Carnation Instant Breakfast. I HATE the canned shakes and have never been able to handle the Isopure... If you haven't give it a try... Tami

If you will go to the unjury.com website and click on protein calculator, it will tell you for your height and weight what you need. ~Melissa~

I can't help with the protein question, but my surgeon recommends that we take the vitamin supplement Biotin. I have heard that there is also a Biotin shampoo although I have not tried it. I am 10 months out and have not had a hair loss problem. Whether it is the Biotin or not, I don't know, but I'm sticking with it! You might want to ask your doctor about it. Good luck. Sandy
