The most I'm able to get is 48g. I know that's why my weightloss is slllllooooowwww. But I can't do any Protein Drinks (they all make me sick). So I have to do food which at 7 weeks is beyond tough.

I shoot for 90g/day and 900 cal max. Today so far I'm at 91g and 675 cals.

Keep up the good work!! I'm having a hard time with the Protein.< /p>

How many grams of Protein are you guys getting in per day?

I'm 4 months post-op. I recently upped my Protein intake and my goal is 90 g of protein and around 750 calories a day. I struggle to get that many calories in, so on the days I go over, I don't worry about it. I try to concentrate on my protein intake.

I bought the Premier Protein shakes at SAMs today. Im hoping they work.

They are excellent and my go to for Protein to this day. I still can't quite get all my protein in so I am still drinking them. They are the only ones I can tolerate at this point. Every once in a while I will have a Matrix mint cookie Protein Drink but not very often. Definitely like the chocolate more than the vanilla. :)

I'm getting 70- 80 g/day. I'd like to increase to 80-90 soon though.

I have no idea how you guys are getting so much Protein in ??? I struggle to get in 60g per day at 5 weeks. I am also constantly pushing the fluids. Share your secrets!

I'm sposed to aim for about 80. Right now I drink a total of 16 oz of Syntrax nectar a day (23gms+9gms for the milk for each 8 oz) - so I guess thats 64 gms. I can drink about 5 oz at a time now (was sposed to drink 3oz every waking hour, but can drink more now). Still on full liquids so the Protein drinks are where I get 100% of my Protein. I have the unflavored powder, but I've only tried it once (in a glass of ice tea) and it was icky. Think I might've wasted $35 on it. Wasn't tasteless

Oh, and I'm 2 weeks out. So I don't think 64 is all that bad

I get in at least 60 and that's been my goal since immediately post-op. My Protein levels are good at every checkup (just annual now). I know many programs require more. Early out I needed two Protein drinks per day to get to goal. Now I get it all from food.

They are the best I have tried so far and I have tried a lot of them. I drink 2 a day still and each is 30g, 160 calories and very very low sugar. The chocolate is the best!! You can buy them at Sam's and costco. Give em a try! :)

      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.
