Hi. Losing it! The problem I am having is this. If a can of tuna has 12 grams of protien and my portion out of it is 2 Tablespoons, how much protien am I getting?

Hi, DL. Would you mind messaging o posting for me too, please? My surgeon says 60 - 70 grams of protien.

Last week 250.4 This week 246.0

Same thing. I'm 3 weeks and 3 days post op and the most discomfort is on my left side. My incision site still hurts, but that is to be expected since I was an open revision.

Hi all, I'm having issues. I 'm supposed to be getting more protein than I think I am. I'm 9 days post op. even with 2 shakes that will give me 34 gms. Of protein I don't understand how I will ever get in the amount I need to meet the requirement needed. A serving of tuna has 10 gms of protein, but the serving size on the can says 1 can. There is no loving way I can get this much in. 60-70 grams is a lot and I'm worried that I'm not going to get in what I need. Anyone have any ideas?

I was never told no corn. Anyone else been told that?

Try the cherry. It's awesome. Much like fruit punch

I was an open surgery so I had staples to deal with. I quickly discovered that I became lactose intolerant, but that's ok. I came home on Thursday, and went to my granddaughters dance recital the next night.

I'd anyone have "dumping" type issues after their RNY? I have not cheated on this diet at all and I have to make a run for it probably 5 times A day. I can't hardly leave the house because when there is an urge, it is immediate. I'm 2 weeks post op and very discouraged. I talked to my Dr's nurse and she told me not to worry about it, but she's not the one with the issue!

I ordered them too, and they are the best!

Yogurt is a good source of protein, though. I buy the sugar free, fat free which is like 80 calories.

I started losing before surgery as they had me do a liver reduction diet for 2 weeks prior. It consisted of protein drinks and sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello, and broth along with 64 ounces of water.

I know. I had a coordinator that coudn't seem to give me the lover reduction diet sheet. She kept sending me the wrong one. DUH!! Finally I got the correct one, and my surgeon is great, but some of his staff members are a little bit lacking.

I guess you could try it and see. Be sure to let us know how that turns out.

Syntrax C'herry is the most tolerable I have found so far. It tastes like fruit punch.

That's a little bit scary. I hope they don't forget anything else.

Do you all have to take calcium with these or are they good to go? Also, how many do you take per day?

Sorry I'm off topic here, but I need some serious help. I'm taking Bariatric Fusion chewable vitamins and they are awful. I don't have to take additional calcium with it, but boy, they are awful. Suggestions, anyone?

Ok, here's the news. Starting weight---283.5 April 17 Surgery date May,1 weight--263.8 Today's weight--250.2

Yes, Vamp. I'm not quite 3 weeks post op and I never got tat full feeling. I wish I did. I just have to be very careful, and it's kind of discouraging this early in the process.

You look awesome, Sweet

Is anyone taking a Vitamin that isn't awful? I am on BARIATRIC FUSION chewables 4 times a day and they taste awful. Any ideas are appreciated.

I am the same way ! I think I could chow down because I don't get the full feeling. I just make a conscience effort to stop.
