Question For Those Who Understand Protein Types



Recommended Posts

For those of you who understand whey Protein vs. other protein.....please help me.

I'm not as worried about continuing to loose weight...but continuing to loose hair.< /p>

Basic question - is the protein in "protein shots" good for you at all? I know it's not whey protein and thus not good for continued weight loss but will it help my body with the excessive Hair loss?

I don't know the answer to your question about Protein but have you tried the Protein Shots yet? They are absolutely nasty! Most definitely the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted!

For Hair loss try taking Biotin.< /p>

I'm no expert, but it my understanding that the Protein in the shot(I think it is collagen) is not absorbable for our bodies and is pretty much useless. You can search Protein Shots here and you should get quite a few results by those who have researched this expansively. That's where I read it. Good luck!

Thanks. I know I had read answers shortly after surgery but was having a hard time finding what I needed on my phone. I hadn't tried the shot yet, but was hoping it could help and even though nasty was something I could take in one gulp.

Taking Biotin and multi-Vitamins. However, for several months wasnt able to eat enough, drink enough, take Vitamins, etc. etc. I think the damage is already done and what will fall will fall.

I cleaned my bathroom yesterday. I only walked in there twice since and this morning the entire floor was covered in hair. I hadn't even brushed it yet. :(

Primary doc said i should stop loosing hair once my weight settles down. I actually dread stepping on the scale and seeing more weight loss because I know it will mean more Hair loss. Always had thick, long hair and this is so upsetting. It's only been a couple weeks, i cant imagine this going on for months.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
