1 week out.. Do you think the more protein



Recommended Posts

Ok so I am one week out. So I feel like I am not getting any results. Maybe I'm just a little anxious

Or I am not doing something right. I know it's still early. I am now trying to get on a Protein Shake, drinking my Water and my dr said I can move on to yogurts and soft noodles. So the more Proteins will it make the weight come off??? IDK IM SO CONFUSED!!

The high Proteins are to preserve your muscle mass. Just the fact that your body is now in starvation mode will cause the weight to come off. We just want it to come off the body fat, not the muscle. Remember, at this point you should only be drinking 4 oz. a meal of your Protein Drink or 4 tbs. of greek yogurt. Don't try to take in more than that (like I mistakenly did) or it could blow a hole in your new sleeve. Sometimes it can take a few weeks for the body to adapt to all it's been through, but the weight will come off. I'm only 16 days out and have already had a stall. We just have to be patient and give it time.

Unjury Protein mix tasted the best to me of all the protein mixes,shakes, bars etc. that I tried and believe me I bet I spent $400 trying them! Honestly I still didn't get my required protein in after all that. I think most people struggle with getting the protein in at first. When you get to the stage that you can eat fish and other meats you won't have to worry about it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
