hi Ladies.... I was looking at the PB website last night and the answers for HAIR LOSS and FATIGUE at the FAQ  post op section were very interesting and enlightening. Maybe I have been told this stuff before, but I don't ever remember hearing the docs explain it like this......they have always said that hair loss is because of lower protein intake and I always wondered about that answer.....read it and tell me what you think:)D

I get in about 100g of protein a day, and my Doc said that was plenty. I told him that I was concerned that I was losing so much hair and he said that it's to be expected, and that everyone varies.
I'm thankful that mine is slowing down, was worried that I'd have to start wearing a wig soon! LOL I also use a high keratin (protein) shampoo and conditioner to help keep what hair I still have, nice and strong.
I am going to go check out the FAQ part of the PB site, I want to read through what else they have on there. Thanks Deanna.

so....what do you think??? According to the answers there, hair loss and fatigue(what I'm experiencing) have nothing to do with protein intake. I take in about the same amount of protein as you do so the "pat" answer never made sense. :)D
