My surgeon warned me about this before surgery and said getting enough protein and vitamins daily should prevent this. While I don't meet my daily 75g protein requirements, I take vitamins and 3 months post op, thankfully no hair-loss problems yet.

My nutritionist advised against eggs for at least 4-5 weeks because they are apparently harder to digest. Ricotta cheese while having high protein, also has high calorie count. I stuck with tuna for the first week and quickly got tired of it. Just dry canned tuna (with whatever water juices were there in a can) ehh, but then next week I decided to add little BBQ sauce, made it kinda taste like pulled pork, that and some light mayo got me through another week and then it was more variety.

I hit my first stall around the 3rd week as well, and it lasted for roughly 7-8 days. Next time I hit the stall, I just pushed myself to exercise and stall only lasted 2-3 days this time.
