Protein pre op



Recommended Posts

Question: how much Protein is everyone that is pre op taking in daily.? I'm drinking four ounces of skim milk with one scoop of protein which is 30 gram in each scoop, I'm drinking this four times a day. On my diet it doesn't say how much protein I should be having a day it just says to have 3-5 Protein Drinks a day. I'm a little confused

My center didn't mention a certain amount either. If you track your intake with MyFitnessPal you'll know exactly how much you're getting. I've been averaging around 120-140 a day (depending on which Protein powder I use) which is really good. Sounds like you're doing it right though, keep it up! :) I'm down 8 in a week which is a miracle for me... its very hard but gotta stay focused!

My center says a minimum of 60g of Protein, with 90-100g daily being ideal.

My diet didn't say how much Protein, just that i could have up to six Clear Liquids a day ?broth, Protein Shakes, Jello, sf popsicle, etc). Anyway, I get in about 50g of protein a day because i drink at least 2 of GNC's lean shakes which AMAZING. they are about 170cal, 2g of sugar and25g of protein

I feel pretty good during the day, it's just around 5:30 to 6 i start feeling weak and tired. What's keeping me going is each day i get on the scale, i've lost a pound of two. When i started i was 241. This morning i am 232. Almost dow. 10lbs in 6 days. Not too shabby

      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. 🤞
