Is this much protein normal?



Recommended Posts

I am 3 days post op and managed to get in 90 grams I Protein today.

I started at 5am and got in half a premade shake which I finished at lunch. In between I had 8oz of milk. I then had some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth. For dinner I had a Protein Shake made with milk that pushed me up to 90.

Is this not normal? I don't want to screw up my surgery.

Was anyone else able to hit this 3 days out?

A lot of folks struggle getting their Proteins & fluids in for a while after surgery. You need the Protein to heal. Just make sure that you're not pushing yourself.

Sounds like you are doing a great job following the doctors recommendations and getting your Protein first! How are you doing on Water intake? Your body will heal faster with a high protein diet, so it sounds like you are doing great.

I was able to hit all my Protein goals and liquids goals right after surgery, so don't worry, you're not odd! Good job and keep it up...and walk, walk, walk!

I am at 90 for Protein and 10oz away from 65 ounces of Water. I was worried bc I do t really feel full exactly. I'm happy to hear others have hit the goals though.

I was able to get to that level by the 4th day after surgery. Don't worry about not feeling full. That is normal. You won't really get to feeling full until you get to the stage in your diet where you are eating things that are more solid.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
