Hello! I'm a week out went in and he told me I'm not doing enough protein. What happens if your not getting protein in?

Hair loss, lack of energy. Hunger ect

Say goodbye to your hair.....get it in, no matter what. A minimum of 60g per day. And spread it out throughout the day, I understand the body can only digest about 20g of protein in an hour, so I've been told. Good luck to you!

@@mshenry11, are you drinking Protein drinks? It's still hard for me to get in enough actual meats for Protein. I don't really care for the protein drinks but at about 30g of protein they do help. I know you can start having hair loss, not sure of what else happens.

Protein is critical for both healing and weight loss.

I'm barely able to drink half of the box so maybe 15gm a day

Wow, you should be able to get more than that in if you used an eye-dropper. Have you talked to your surgeon?

15gm a day is way too low. Do whatever you have to do to get that Protein in. You are doing harm to yourself if you don't.

I am 3 weeks out and am still having a hard time getting in 60.

I am managing about 50 though.

What happens if you don't get protein in?

Without Protein, the human body cannot function normally. You need to talk with your nutritionist about this. You need to find a way to get in your protein. (fluids also...actually fluids moreso)
