Frustrated today

[Lady grace 1]

I'm still not getting in enough Protein. After six weeks post op you would think I would get it by now but NO. I didn't mind the Protein Shakes at the beginning but now I can't stand them. I am only getting in 30 to 40 grams a day. I have the feeling that is why I am only loosing 3lbs a week. Just don't feel like eating and nothing really tastes that outstanding. The thought of eating every 3 to 4 hours is so not working for me. Getting in the fluids is not bad except I forget sometimes. Thanks for letting me vent !

Its tough the first 3-4 weeks, then you find what works best for you and your taste. I am almost a year out and I am still trying different things but my main goal is to get that Protein in no matter what. After time you will find what works best for you.

I know how you feel. I can only get in about 20-30g of Protein and 4c of Water a day. I'm feel so weak and low. And to top it off, I just found out that I'm pregnant. I need help badly.

I would suggest if your sick of the sweet Protein Shakes (which I went through at your stage) I got the Unjury chicken Soup Protein Powder. It helps a great deal

According to MyFitnessPal I got 75g of Protein today. Only one Protein Drink, the rest in foods. It's all about finding foods with Protein and combining them in ways that taste good.

Thanks everyone,the advice really helped. I went and got several different Protein bars to try. Most have at least 15g of protien and under 4 g of sugar. I really want to speed up my weight loss to 5lbs a week instead of 3.

Congratulations to Jerz on the pregnancy!
