    How much protein do I need?

    I stalled at around 2 wks and it lasted at least 2 wks. I finally upped my Protein and it helped a lot. Although I will admit that when I was stalled on the scale my body was down sizing.

    How much protein do I need?

    I was given a Protein goal of 95. I am 5'7" and started out at 287 lbs. and I just turned 52. Now I see my dietitian on Monday and that number may change. I have a shake for breakfast every day. 33 g protein I have 2-3 Snacks and lunch and dinner my 3 snack depend on if I need protein or not. I try to eat something about every 2 1/2-3 hrs. And I sip sip sip. Hope that helps. I was given detailed list of what I could eat and couldn't eat. I almost feel like I have more restriction just in the past week. Good luck Dry roasted edamame 1/4 c 11 g 1/2 c 2% cottage cheese 14 g 2.5 oz pack of tuna in Water 18 g 1 oz turkey Jerky 11 g 100 cal pack of almond and walnuts 3 g That's just to name a few Sent from my iPhone using VST

    Desperately seeking advice

    Another thing is I faithfully measure or weigh my food. I still eat around 1/2 c. I have ate just under 1 c of food 1 time with no problem. I like to stay at no more than a 1/2 c. it makes me feel in control. Goodluck.

    Desperately seeking advice

    I had surgery Jan 28th. I stalled at about 2 wks for 2-3 wks. I upped my calories and and broke my stall. I journal everything I eat and drink. I drink a protein drink every morning for breakfast and eat the rest of my protein. I aim for 95g of protein a day. I don't have a problem getting in my liquid. I was giving a binder at my first appointment with the surgeon. I got a diet plan about 2wks before surgery describing in detail what I should be eating as my diet progressed. It still says to use protein shakes daily. I also started using My fitness Pal on April 2nd. I love it, but I still journal in a journal for my dietition. I have my 1st post surgery appointment with her on Monday. PM me if I can help you in andy way.

    Surgery tomorrow

    Good luck! I will be 11 wks post op tomorrow. No problems so far. Smooth sailing. The first couple of days were rough but it gets better every day. Prayers for a smooth surgery and speedy recovery.

    Body by Vi/visalus

    I have heard of it, but thats it. Sorry:( I got some protein from my Step daughter and it is sweetened with stevia. It says to add to 11 ozs of skim milk, juice, or water. I add it to 8 oz 1% milk its not bad. I just got the vanilla. Hope you are doing good.
  20. You are looking great! keep it up!

    100 lbs. Lost...But....

    Awesome progress! I am 10 weeks post op. I do a shake for breakfast and 2-3 snacks a day and 2 meals. My snacks are mostly all protein. So my third snack depends on where my protein is for the day. I do like to drink the breakfast essintials no sugar add for my night time snack if needed. I am down 36 lbs since surgery today. A total of 70 lbs since Oct. 17th. I measure all my food. Last night I tried a baked lasagna(spinach, chicken and mushroom) I measured 3/4 c. and was able to eat it all. It was also my first pasta to eat. Again, awesome progress and good luck on your continued success!
  22. 10wks post op down 36 lbs since surgery, I am 52 yrs old today and down 70 lbs total! Now thats a great birthday!
