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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
