Getting Protein In Week 2!



Recommended Posts

Ok guys I need help! How the heck am I suppose to get my Protein in??? I am 8 days out and literally I can only get 1/4 of it down (if that) at a time and then I get so full! I am for the Rest of the week only on full liquids. Is it ok that I can't get it for this week? How hard should I try?? Thanks! By the way I am 15.2 pounds down 8 days out!

sip sip sip and alternate with Water. Don't try to take it all in one sitting. The slower you are the better you will feel. You don't have enough room in your new stomach for a big cup of something, you have to give it a bit of time for it to drain on through.

I added unflavored Unjury to my drinks. Syntax nectar makes some good Protein Drinks that are good for the liquid stage. I ordered mine at mybariatricpantry. I got a 10 pack of samples to try the different flavors.

Thanks for the advice! I made a shake with fat free milk today and forced it down and will reach my 60 grams today!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
