Hi and welcome.

I think you are doing fine. You are early out so just listen to your body....don't force it down just take your time and you will be fine.

The first week or two don't worry about the protein so much..Just get down what you can.

It's more important to stay hydrated.you can always add unflavored protein to your crystal light or whatever you are drinking.

GOOD LUCK!!

WELCOME TO BANDLAND!!

Congrats on being banded! My doc told me to try to get 45-60 grams of protein in during the liquid stage. To be honest, I don't get much more than that now, but he said you need a decent amount to keep up your energy. Like Stocky said, if you add a little protein (like unflavored unjury) to certain foods you should be able to do it. chocolate Unjury in milk, for example, is an instant 28 ounces of protein in a single cup!

Good luck to you! I hope to see you posting your meals on here regularly. It certainly helps me when I know I've stated that I'm throwing away my 100-calorie cookie packs and I'm really craving one the next day. I just KNOW I can't eat it because I SAID I wouldn't.

Awwwww Puddin pie great job on the cookies....yeahhhhh:clap2: :clap2:

Puddin you asked about TOPS it is a peer weight loss support group all over the country Taking Off Pounds Sensibly. We support each other in any type of diet we choose to use. We focus on eating right and exercising because they know that is what is takes to lose even with wls. We weigh in every week to be held accoutable to ourselves and the group. I have been with them for about 4 years now. It cost $24 a year and dues are $3-$6 a month depending on your group. Check out the website and find one near you. Go for a visit, the visit is free and you can join if you like it. My group have a lot of older women and I thought oh this is not going to work for me and it would be boring. Ohhh no I love those ladies, they are more then just a support group they are family to me.:)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
