Has anyone's doc recommended increasing protein before surgery?

I have read that when you lose your hair post-op it is not reflective of your current intake of protein but instead it is reflective of your protein intake 3-4 months earlier.Has anyone's doctor recommended to try to beef up (no pun intended) your stores of protein before surgery so that you have enough protein on board to prevent or slow down the hair loss associated with WLS? I am trying to do this by starting Protein supplements now before my surgery date of 1/15/03. Think this will help?
