I'm trying to get all the protein i can but what will happen if I don't?

You can have several symptoms including: Muscle weakness, edema, more easily sunburn, difficulty sleeping, headache, nausea and my personal favorite.....hair loss!!! Get your protein!!

Yep, you'll feel like crap. Also you'll be hungrier throughout the day.

Yep ! All of the above. So I do 60-80G of protein a day. Never had a problem, and Protein kills HUNGER.... Remember that.

I am so glad I read this. I feel awful. Terrible headache. Muscles cramping and can't sleep. I was starting to worry. I will most def be eating more protein.

Thanks for this post. I know I have been low on protein lately and I have been feeling very fatigued and a lot of headaches. Time to get back on track!

I don't get anywhere near 60 grams of protein in a day, hopefully a third or half, never truly calculate and I have none of these problems. I have been banded a year and a half, 103 off and my blood sugar is normal and other labs. I mean every now and then I drink my protein when I am too tight or in a rush but typicaly don't get substantial protein until dinner and a bite or two at lunch. I can't handle solid protein in the a.m and prior to banding I was an eggs and backie kinda girl. I am having steel cut oats as I type, they may have some protein in them naturally...because I didn't cook them with milk.

I had been slacking off on my protein for a couple days and I felt like garbage. My brain was all fuzzy and I felt very weak and tired all the time. I feel much better now that I've bumped up my protein again. Get your protein in at all costs or you will feel it!
