After Lapband Do U Still Need To Drink Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

you need to get at least 60g of Protein a day. and shakes are so far for me the best way to get that in.

In Aus our Drs don't like us to use shakes - they prefer patients to eat their calories, not drink them.

true but it's hard to get that much Protein in one day until you get the hang of it and know what your doing. i am suppose to have 6 meals with one of those being a shake.< /p>

I have 4ccs i had my surgery in may and i just started drinking my Protein shakes again. Bc i am really tight i can not get mich of anything down. I have been eating a lot of veggies but not enough to get my daily amount. One Protein Shake a day is perfectly fine. I always drink it in the morning since i dont have time for Breakfast and i dont have time to mess around with throwing up or painful stuck episodes. Drink it in the morning that way you have a better chance to burn off the extra calories

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
