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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
