So, what happens if...



Recommended Posts

What happens if you don't get all you Protein in for the day? I am doing great on my Vitamins and am taking my calcium chews regularly. Its just ever since surgery I can only drink things that are like really cold and it takes me forever to drink one of my shakes so they get hot and ive tried every which way to fix them it just when im at work they get hot and i dont finish them. Ive thought about eating some of the bars but it takes me so long to eat anything that I dont think they would be beneficial. I do try to eat as much cheese and chicken and things like that as i can I just know that I am not getting near as much as I can. Thanks!

I think you just try to do better the next day. I also struggle with getting the Protein Drinks down. Have you tried low Carb slim fast? They meet all the nutritional requirements and taste better than the Protein drinks to me. Or maybe powdered protein? They also make Protein Shots and a kind of Jello shot with 15gms of protein in them. They are call protein twist shots. Hope one of these can help you.

I am sorry you are having these issues, but you might be getting more Protein than you think. Have you tried measuring out your portions and counting the protein? Also, have you thought about cottage cheese and maybe tuna salad?

I just ordered a sample pack of hot chocolate Proteins at mybariatricpantry.com Haven't gotten them yet so I can't say how they are, but if you have trouble with cold drinks, that's an option. There's also Unjury's chicken Soup Protein.

Greek yogurt has a ton of Protein, so you could try adding that in as a supplement.

good luck to you!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
