Hi all!

I am about 6 weeks out.. Sleeved 5/15 and I have noticed I am totally Protein paranoid! I will eat meats- mostly chicken- and cheeses... Some Protein shakes, but I am so worried about getting enough protein in that I won't touch any other things, really. I know I am being a bit anal, but is anyone else like this?

43 lbs in 6 weeks? Wow.

Yea, practically all I eat is Protein. I had two bites of green bean last week but otherwise its been meat,cheese,dairy and Beans plus 2 protein shakes a day. I worry about getting enough protein more than anything else because you need it to heal and to help guard against hair loss. Its also something I have never before done in my life- make sure I got enough protein. Also I was so tired I was hoping it would help that, but its getting better now.

Yes, I think most of us eat mostly protein, because you get your protein in first and only eat other things if there's room leftover, and if you are getting at least 60-80 g of protein a day there usually isn't a lot of room leftover. I try to get in low-carb veggies as snacks.

Everything I eat is high in Protein. I was sleeved on may 15th. Im hoping if I focus on protein right now that I won't lose much hair.
