Got my protein going on this morning!



Recommended Posts

I'm struggling to drink the last of my shake so I thought I'd boast a bit, lol, and see if that'll motivate me for the last of it.

I have 1/2 c left and I'll have 56 G Protein and 24 oz ff milk and Water down!!!!

I'm starting to hate these things!!!!!!

It kills me to this day to drink 8 oz of Protein. Lol

Who knew liquid could sit so heavy! I always try to trick my body into thinking its just Water or juice, but it knows!!!

I try to drink mine in the hour it takes me to get to work each morning. But it's like my mind knows and wont drink it.

I don't have problems with big gulps of liquid, but if I take big gulps of Protein, my stomach will be killing me by the time I get out of the car

Oh, I do not take joy in saying this but the body is only able to utilize about 30 grams of Protein at a time... So the rest is "wasted" sorry :(

Laura

So perhaps drinking it half for one meal and then go back to it later for another meal?

I can't gulp anything. I'm 11 days out and just sipping constantly. I put 40 g in one shake and that, along with 16 g of milk Protein is all I can manage. I'm struggling to get it all in this morning.

Actually, I'm not too distraught. I'm a bit amused by my antics. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.

I know what you mean, I'm not crazy about Protein Drinks either. As soon as I was cleared for soft foods, I made it a point of eating my Protein instead of drinking it. I was low at first, but I was eventually able to meet my goals.

Protein Shakes feel like a rock in my stomach. I sometimes drink 1/2 a premier shake in the morning and the other 1/2 in the afternoon. But I prefer to eat my Protein instead of drinking it.

      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.
