How much protein are you getting?



Recommended Posts

Just curious how much Protein everyone is getting and how you are hitting those targets? I am 3.5 weeks out and on soft foods. I used to drink Protein Drinks at the end of the day to catch up, but they make me so sick now.

There is very little consistency , things change from day to day what works 1 day doesn't the next things can take up to 12 months to settle down. 1 was sleeved 14 weeks ago and have lost 23kg (46 ponds) good luck.....

I'm 3 mons out and really nothing bothers my sleeve. But I still need to do one sometimes two shakes or a bar a day to hit 60-80 gms of Protein. I have a thread here titled "tired of Protein Shakes? " That has tips that might help you get your protein.

I'm good to get 10 grams a day ( 65 grams is my goal) .... I'm a few days from 3 weeks out, I can't stand anything but Water or I gag, so getting that Protein in is not going so well for me, and I know I have to get it in, slowly I am getting my new stomach ready for it sip at a time

I haven't had any issues with eating. I have been able to eat pretty much anything I've tried. My problem is I can only eat a portion of it. My doctor wants me to only eat 3 meals per day. It is hard to get my Protein in with only that.

      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.
