Thinning Hair - I know due to protein, but seeking advice PLEASE!!

[Aginn10 82]

I struggle daily getting my Protein in, I can't drink the smoothies/shakes, they make me sick, literally, so I have ordered some Protein Water inGrape off Amazon that looks promising, but I do my best every day, but my hair is getting scary thin, what did you do when this happened to you? I also have had a 2 week long period, which I read is also most likely related to protein, messing up hormones etc. Im bound to be getting 40g a day but I know I need 60. Its so much harder than it sounds, I thought "OMG how easy! I can just eat this and this and be there!" that was BEFORE!!! Im just concerned, it's not like I'm not trying to eat it... Please help if youve been where I am!!

Have you tried the GENEPRO powder? It’s unflavored but has a lot of protein.

No!! But I’m taking ideas. Where do I find this? Online?

GENEPRO is a little controversial in the bariatric community. Some people swear by it. But they've been sued as a scam, too.

All I'll say is that they say you get 30g of Protein out of a single tablespoon. And a tablespoon is 12.5 grams. They say they have reasons why that makes sense and maybe they do, but it sure makes you wonder.

The Protein Water is good though. I swear by that stuff. Coconut and Mixed berry are my favorite flavors.

I also like FairLife skim milk, which has twice the protein and fewer carbs than regular skim milk. A glass of that is also good for relieving hunger pangs between meals.

Some of the Hair loss is unavoidable. It's called telogen effluvium. It's because of the anesthesia... all the follicles in a particular stage of development just stop and that hair will fall out 2-8 months later. Nothing you can do.

Protein and the rest can stop ADDITIONAL hair loss, but you can get all your Protein in, take Biotin, use biotin Shampoo and you will still lose hair.

Relaunch Protein by the Nicholson Clinic. Every morning i drink their unflavored protein with lemonade crystal light.

60 to 80 grams of protien a day. Buy premier protien drinks, one for Breakfast and another for a snack. Then eat how you normally do. Im 7 month out and hardly had any loss of hair. I was making sure I got that protien in. Good luck to you.

I know I am getting at least 60 grams a day, but my hair is really thinning out bad. I guess I'll fit in an extra Protein Drink a day.

I just started that stuff. Have you found it to be helpful? I don’t want to loose any more hair.

Fairlife is my saving grace!! I take 20oz in a thermos every day and it’s the main reason I get above 60g of Protein a day. Love that stuff.
