How much Protein should we get in a day

How much should we eat per serving

Need help weight is not coming off

Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

My doctor bases the amount of Protein you need per day from your height. I'm 5'8" & need 90 grams per day.

Albacore tuna is very dry and dense so its hard to digest and makes you thirsty easting it. Mix avacado or light mayo with regular tuna.

Get protien fortified broths which have 15g of protien per serving. I also found New Whey shots at Walmart that have 42g of protien. .

FYI for everyone those whey shots do not work for RNY patients at all. They are the wrong kind of Protein and you can not absorb it. Basically you are wasting your money and thinking you are getting in your Protein when in actuality that is not true. If you search the boards DLCoggin posted a few times specifically on that topic and it might be helpful for you new people to read that. There is so much good information on old posts, reading through them might be helpful! I don't have the time to search for the post I am referring to, but I know for a fact it is there. Anyway, check it out, it is important information that you need to know in protecting yourself and in getting the right amount and type of protein in your diet!

Oh and I was told less then 10 grams of a sugar at one sitting. 75g of Protein a day at minimum. 50g of carbs a day maximum. Do not forget to eat your veggies and fruit, we focus so much on Protein, as we should, that we forget the basics of a good diet. Same with dairy, which is difficult considering many of us are now lactose intolerant, but you can eat cheese etc.

I log my foods in for the day first thing in the morning (before I eat them) in myfitnesspal and see what my planned foods total up to in regards to protein and once my protein is fully filled to my expectation I then add in my other food groups to fill it out. It really works for me and helps me stay on track with protein and calories.

make sure you are getting in enough Water and your Vitamins as well, both impact stalls, as do exercise and sleep.

Its strange that my Dr would tell me to buy New Whey shots and even sell them in their bariatric store. Not sure if I believe others opinions over a specialist Dr. in his field. I suggest others to consult your Dr.

Of course you follow your Drs advice and the Protein Shots that don't work for us are the ones that say collagen. So perhaps these new shots are the right kind of Protein and that would be awesome, has anyone have some and could check? Thanks

I was told the same thing that most of the shots offered faked Protein. There was 2 brands that had the real stuff or a mixture. I would do a little more research to be sure.

      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.
