I'm confused about the protein



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone I'm very confused about Protein. You are supposed to get 65 mg a day but the sample menus don't show 65 mg. what am I missing?

Thanks

Jen

My surgeon wants 60 gr a day and my dietician helped with a plan the only time I don't get the 60 gr is after a fill when on liquids. Can you ask to see a dietician?

I am totally brand new with this so I haven't gone into the office yet. I figure the first few weeks I could have more Protein Shakes. That's my goal anyways

After liquids my dr is not an advocate of protien. shakes. he prefers I get my protien from food. I think it's all way too confusing to try to remember how many grams of protien i am supposed to have so he made it really simple. Eat 3 oz of protien at each meal.... Protien is fish, chicken, eggs, tuna, pork, beef, beans....look on the Internet for thousands of lists of what constitutes protien. He said if I did that on a daily basis and took my multi Gummy Vitamin I wouldn't have any issues...and I haven't. Maybe ask your dr or NUT what he thinks.

I like this! I always try to count the Protein grams and it drives me crazy trying to get to the magical 60. I am going to start doing this. Then I will not stress over not getting the amount needed.

Taking it one day at a time.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
