How much Protein and water does everyone drink daily?



Recommended Posts

I have been banded since 8/15/13 and have lost 53 lbs. so far. But for the past 2 weeks, I haven't lost any weight at all. I am having a hard time getting in allot of Protein and not as many ounces of Water as I should. Any suggestions how to increase both??? What does everyone else do? How many ounces of water and grams of protein does your DR/NUT recommended daily?

Water is recommended 64oz a day. I honestly don't measure Water, I just constantly sip on it all day long.

Protein is your weight times .3 for daily grams. So yours would be 322 x .3= 96.6 grams of Protein for a daily minimum.

My nutritionist said at least 64 oz of Water. But I sip all day long so I don't get bloated.

I consume about 80grams of Protein. But, I am still on the liquid diet. Talk to your NUT and see what he/she says.

I find the Water drinking is the hardest thing for me. Not because I can't get it in..but because I'm not. I'm going to try the sipping thing through out the day to see if that helps me more.

By the end of the day I realize I haven't had enough, and I'm actually thirsty so I start drinking but it's almost time to sleep...and well it's not good if you actually want to get some sleep :o

my doctor wants 60 grams of Protein whether it be by food or Protein Drinks. i usually consume 90-100 grams of protein because i need that Protein Drink at night to keep me from snacking all night long. it is a appetite control thing for me. i keep a food diary and keep a tally on protein and calories.

i have a 32 oz container that i keep full all day and night. and yes i have to pee during the night. but i am a drinker and don't have a problem drinking fluids.

Not nearly as much as I should. Old habits die very hard I guess. While my eating has gone from 100% before the band to maybe 30% that liquid and Protein intake I should be working on is minimal.

I could tell you how much I should have though, if that counts for anything.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

      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!
