I'm at a major stall right now. I need to exercise and get more Protein in. I just don't Have the energy. I am very low in Iron and Vitamin D so I started 45 mg of Iron today. I just can't seem to get more that 50g of Protein in daily. What can I do?

You got to find a way to get Protein in. It is key. Drink a shake in the morning for breakfast... You have to!! If things don't get better. Call you dr and or nut!! Good luck

So another one at night too... I noticed you say you are in a stall.. Protein is the culprit there too.. Do u like Greek. Yogurt?? Baby bel lights? String cheese.. Boiled egg. Make your self eat or drink something with protein in it every 2-3 hours

1) try a different shake with more Protein in it. and break it up into your Snacks instead of meals

2) get some unflavored protein and put a scoop or 2 in a small closeable bowl and put a pinch in everything you eat or drink.

Buy double pasteurized egg white and add those to your drinks. It gives you added Protein without any taste.

      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.
