My dietician wants me to get 85-95. I struggle with that.

My surgeon recommends 100g of Protein per day and I've been hitting that about 95% of the time for almost two years. Protein is crucially important for a lot of very good reasons - faster wound healing, helps protect you from bacterial and viral infections, improves retention of lean muscle, reduces hair loss, and protein is a key source of energy (especially when you're on a low carb diet). Your body has over 100 trillion cells and every single one of them contains protein. Remove all of the Water from your body and 75% of the stuff that's left is protein. On average, 20% of your total body weight is protein.

Many believe that getting sufficient protein helps in weight loss. But I've never read (or heard of) any scientific cause and effect relationship being established for specific protein intake levels being correlated with specific increases or decreases in weight loss. As we see on the forum all of the time, even doctors are all over the place in their recommendations for daily protein.

Bottom line - do your best to get ALL of your doctor's recommended protein in every day and you're gonna love the new you!!

      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.
