Protein/food/enough Calories



Recommended Posts

Hello

I'm doing good as far as keeping food down,but I have some exception if I drink too much Water at once or don't chew well I will vomit,but besides that I'm doing just fine.

I'm not getting the 50grams of Protein per day as written in the sheet the surgeon gave me. In fact I can't stand the protein from Atkins mocha latte which I was loving before surgery. Can someone tell me what can I do to get my protein intake?

I'm only able to eat 2-4 bites at a time,and I don't eat all day long. I eat because I have to live,but other then that if I eat once a day I'm good,but I try to eat at least 3-4 times a day since it's just a small amount I can eat. According to the sheet I'm suppose to consume 800-1000 calories per day which I'm far less then that. If I eat 300 calories or less that's all I can get in.

You tell me how your doing with your protein/vitamin & calories intake. I don't know what to do.

I'm looking forward to abdominal excercise after July 30th. According to my sheet here.

unjury chicken broth was a lifesaver for me. 8 ounces of Soup = 21g of Protein. You have to order it at unjury.com. Good luck!

I'm gonna check it out. Thanks

I drink a 30g Protein Shake first thing in the am, one after lunch, and try for at least 1/2 a shake after dinner...totaling around 75g...as my dr recommends 60-90g. Plus cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are great sources of Protein. The shake I drink are from Premiere nutrition I also alternate w Unjury...which gives 20g of

Protein in 6 oz.:)

Your doing way better then me. I can't stand the shakes,but I will look for food or other drinks besides shakes with protein. In about 2 weeks or so I should have money to order the Soup from unjury.com

Yes, try the unflavored from GNC...more affordable and you can put it in whatever. I can taste it but not too bad.

Hi girl! I too have issued with the Protein. They all

Taste so gross. I started using the Unjury unflavored... Its gross but you can mix wih everything. Also, I bought a huge supply of Isopure. You can drink that and it counts towards your liquid intake...

I have been on Isopure Low Carb Dutch Cholocate. I mix it with skim milk, its not my fav. drink but I do drink it. My dr. requires a minimum of 64 grams of protien a day. I eat yogurt and cottage cheese for Breakfast, Protein Shake for a snack between breakfast and lunch. Any other Protein is a bonus. I do drink the Special K protein Water packets too. I know the shakes are nasty.. I just drink them as quick as I can without getting sick and just be done with it - LOL. Check out the protein flavor packetts you put in water by Specail K I think they are like 5 grms of protein per packett ... the strawberry/kiwi is pretty tasty :) You really need your protein... you don't want to loose your hair. My hair is thin to begin with so I am real strict on getting my protein in each day.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
