Yet more questions, hunger? liquids? protein??

How's your hair holding up??? I am so terrified since I am not getting the right amount of proetin in that I will be bald in 2 - 3 months.. I see you are further out than me...  So glad I am not the only one having issues with the proetein.

Because I had lap band, I have not had hair loss issues, beyond the norm.  I'm not sure if this is across the band board or not.  My supervisor had RNY 3 - 4 years ago.  She lost some hair initially, but it all grew back.

Hi Cheri my sister how r u? I think you r right about the hair loss not being an issue with the band but the stress behind it thats another story lol lol u r the best Love Kelly

hehehe

xo

LOL everyone you are all funny!    Had my " Nut Convo"  and that was really good for me.  Just getting positive reinforcement helps so much!  I know that one day I won't be so "needy" but right now I just am!   I asked all my questions and she was very helpful.   First the issue of Hunger- she felt that I haven't been eating enough.  And I have to make sure I get the full 64 oz. of liquid, which does include things like jello, Italian ice etc.  For the last several days I have been but before that I was really struggling.  Which leads me to the Liquids issue, she said that I do need to make sure I'm not drinking my protein too fast... that should take a least an hr to drink (8oz)  and if its been at least an hr or more after eating I can sip sip sip to get in the liquids trying to keep it at a full glass within the hour.  That is much better than what I was doing!  I think that will help me. Protein was another of my questions she said the min. for Lap Banders is 50 grams per day but 60 is best if I can get that in, do it.  Is helpful in making sure you don't have hair loss and it helps with the hunger. I did forget to ask if all this was isolated to lap band recipents or the same for RNY'rs .  Mainly I was encouraged to go to the support group from now on and to follow what my doctors program / team is instructing me to do. Same thing you guys all say LOL  and to call her (Nut.) whenever, with whatever question I might have.   Next week I start with the solid food and she says variety will be key and incorporating things in one at a time is important.  I am looking forward to being able to have chili.. isnt' that funny!  

Glad you had a nice visit with that NUT...LOLOLOL  You're too cute with the chili craving!  I think someone else had a craving for that from what I remember.
