My Dr. Did Not give proteins until week 3 - I feel too tired



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am 8 days post Op, just starting my 2nd week but feeling very weak because my Dr's diet does not have any sort of Protein until week 3. I'v seen that alot of people are taking Protein Shakes or powder to mix since first days. Today I just could not help my self and I had a Svelty drink yogourth. I already send an e-mail to my Dr. And I am waiting for hes comments. If you can give me some advice please!!

Unjury makes a chicken broth with 20 g of Protein in it, it's actually not terrible either. They also have unflavored Protein Powder you can add to anything.

You should definitely add Protein powder even on the liquid phase you need it. The body needs protein to function. Are you sure you're reading the diet right.

It is the same as 1rst week. Clear liquids, chicken broth, posicles, gatorade, fruit juce. :(

Btw.you know clear liquids also means things like Isopure and other Protein Drinks like Protein 10..which is clear liquid but loaded with Protein. That will definitely get your energy level pack up.

. Yes, I already send an email to the clinic and the doctor. i think is not ok, also found other errors on the diets for next weeks, on the mesurements it has some oz, cup and liter!!! On 3rth week it saids: cchicken, Beans, vegetablrs, Tomato, ... But in any part it indicate that this food most be raw or cooked, on pure or peaces. It is a very dissapointing issue about the service. Sorry for my spelling. English is not my original languaje. I live in Mexico, I will look for those clear protein on GNC. Thank you!

i agree with the Isopure. even though i was allowed Protein Shakes during stage one, i preferred the isopure because i wasn't sure i could stomach creamy things at first. the isopure was like Protein packed kool aid, i would definitely recommend it.

      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
