Wondering if brain "fog" is from too little Protein intake??? What's the max Protein you are all on by now?

I try to get 60 - 80 a day of protein and plenty of fluids. What kind of "brain fog"? I find myself fatigued if my fluids are low.

I also get fatigued , as well as some dizziness when I lay down then stand up.

I get enough fluids, but tend to eat more salad than Protein, or a veggie Soup. "Brain fog" was the only way I could think of describing it, like thinking through cotton wool? As though it takes forever to think something through that normally happens easily? Not as sharp as usual? I drink umpteen teas and Water each day.

Have you called your dietician? i wonder if it could be Vitamin deficiency. On another note- I had a brain fog when I had Lyme disease. I am sure it was from all the spirochetes living in my brain. It cleared after treatment.

I hear ya! I had stalled for a bit and took Ozzie's advice of upping Protein and increased my exercise. That worked for me but I was stuck for about four weeks. I also found I was nibbling between meals and have stopped that bad habit from coming back. It is hard to break. I am forcing myself to write every bite down and it has helped significantly. I hope you start to lose again : )

Well good news!!! I have stopped losing and actually was able to gain a pound back. But I decided that since it's gone I don't really want to gain it. So I am trying to maintain at 126 now and if I gain that is fine. But I'm not going to intentionally try to gain which is what I was doing last week. Definitely am not trying to lose. I am so full right now. 2oz Turkey breast for dinner and 5 white cheddar crackers. I had a defrosting, not intentional, in my freezer and lost everything that was in it. meat and veggies gone bad :-(

Unfortunately it was my outside (garage) freezer, so I didn't know about it right away :-( I hope everyone is doing well on your weight loss. I'm very grateful over the last 10 months that I found y'all on this forum. I think knowing you guys were here has helped me through 2 surgeries, venting about the still on going divorce, and everything else. Thank you!!!

Thanks Nicole. I need a new picture. I will get my son to take one. I purchased a pair of American eagle jeans size 10. I think I could've done a 8. Congratulations on your weight loss. My husband is doing the sleeve in December. He got jealous!

Okay December group. I can't get enough food today. I'm afraid of over eating, but every three hours today I'm starved out. Has anyone else experience this?

Tummy grumbles or bored eating? I've been "bored eating" lately so thought I might ask. If its grumbles, might be time to add in a few more healthy calories...otherwise, a hobby like playing cards, crochet, reading, etc.? I have to keep my hands busy when I get like that. Good luck!! :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
