RE: New member - supplements

Hey Debbie,

Have you ever tried IsoPure? I remember Barb Herrera swearing by this

stuff, and I have tried it. It's more of a " juice " than a shake... It

does taste a little funky, but it could be different enough from shakes

to make it palatable for you... Check it out!

I've never done the protein

supps...tried to...but they make me gag. I'm not kidding, I've tried

several different brands but I literally cannot stand them...shakes

or bars. I know this is why my hair is falling out, even though all

my labs look good (during preg and as of 3 weeks ago). I'm scheduled

for a hernia repair/TT at the end of August and I know I need to get

myself in better shape or I'll be bald by the end of September.

If anybody can suggest a protein supp that might be a little more

palatable I would be SO grateful.

Thanks for your help.

Well, it may or may not be lack of protein.............

Some people just always lose hair after a surgery of any kind. I have seen

people say on this list that the only surgery they lost hair with was WLS. But I

have had several other types of surgery, and I lost some hair with all of

them. Also lost hair with each of my kids--no surgery involved and in 3 out of 4

cases, not even any anesthesia (which some feel also causes hair loss).

As for protein shakes, have you tried Labrada's Pro-V 60? It is the ONLY mix

I can tolerate the taste of. I add flaxseed meal (1 TBS) for flavor and body

(and it's really good for you too) and sometimes some spices (cinnamon,

nutmeg, etc) or instant coffee or a half tsp jello powder for variety. I look

forward to my shakes, actually. YMMV, but if u haven't tried these, give it a

shot.
