Hi- I see that everyone has different foods they are allowed to start with- but how many grams of Protein are you supposed to get each day? My dr says 60 grams (3 weeks post op). What about you? What of you get 70-80 in? Is that ok??

My doctor told me 64 grams. I'm sure more won't hurt. What are you doing to get 70-80 grams. I have trouble trying o get 64.

Stuff like Ground turkey.. Fat free refried beans- turkey breast with fat free gravy- pure protie pre-made choc shakes (23 grams). Syntrax strawberry mousse shake with skim milk (30 grams). Hormel turkey chili.. I can have fruit/veggies for a few more weeks- so it's all protein..

Wow. I just started eggs and I get about 45grams of Protein. It is hard the doctor wants me at 60grams. I just do not feel like I am hungry.

I drink one Protein Drink for Breakfast which is 75 grams of Protein. Then thru out the day I try to only eat protein. I try to stay away from empty calories. I will have an egg, an oz. Of cheese, meat or nutts. I usually get in well over 80 grams but I am 16 weeks out already. Goodluck to you guys!

No, they have Isopure powder at the GNC store. Tons of flavors! 50 grams of Protein per serving, which is 2 scoops. But i mix 3 scoops (75grams) with icy cold Water. It's really good. I finally found one I can tolerate ツ

      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.
