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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
