Post Surgical Proteins

[DeadSpaceGrave 53]

What are some ideas yall have to help get more Protein in? I been losing alot more hair lately and I think it's because of not getting enough? I'm also doing this research paper and I'm also collecting ideas for that to add .... thanks

Congrats! You look great!

TE (telegen effluvium) is part of severe calorie restriction and quick weight loss. Mine is finally growing back. I'm 2+ years out.

I eat all low fat Proteins on the planet except soy for the most part. And most of my Protein is animal based rather than plant based, although I do eat 1+ lbs of veg per day and there is some amount of protein in those plants.

The ones I love:

eggs/egg whites

2% cottage cheese

non fat Greek yogurt

Premier Protein in coffee = proffee lattes

Fairlife Core Power chocolate blended with ice and nonfat Greek yogurt to make a milkshake

temporary Hair loss is extremely common with bariatric surgery. But....it'll grow back. I lost hair (but not a lot...) from about month 6 to month 9. For most of us, you're the only one who'll notice it.
