How are you getting that much Protein? I am 5 days post op and am barely getting 30. Are you limiting the amount of shakes you drink in a certain time? My dr wanted me to limit it to 3 oz/hr and I just do that 3-4 times a day and drink Water in between.

@@Notinks Hi there!

Just noticed you had your surgery the day before I did. How are you doing? My doctor wanted me to drink three Protein shakes, along with other fluids....impossible. I can manage two which gives me my 60 grams of Protein. Forget getting in 64 ounces of Water....ain't happening.

Have you tried making shakes with whey Protein powder? Each scoop is 30 grams of protein. I make it with unsweetened Almond milk, ice cubes, and some sugar free Jello or pudding powder added for flavor.....delicious.

Are you taking chewable Vitamins? I take Bariatric Choice...four a day. You don't need added Calcium with these.

Let me know how you're doing.

Hugs

@@Angelyaya5 I could probably get in that much Protein if I drank Protein shakes all day. Not sure. I might get too full though. My nut said no more than 3 oz/hr and wants you to have 3-5 "meals" a day. When you make the shake you described, do you drink the whole thing at once?I have been drinking Water in between, I am doing Vitamins. I am drinking the Premeir Protein for the most part. It is 30g of protein, but I only drink a third of it at a time.

I had surgery on Wednesday (the 17th). I am not eating much yet. My doctor's office wants me to drink 2-4 oz per hour and to try to hit 32 oz a day right now. Today is my first full day home and I drank most of a Premier Protein shake, a popsicle, 1/4 cup cream of chicken Soup and water/crystal light.

My surgeon is very up on preventing malabsorption so him and my nutritionist makes us start our Vitamins and Prilosec. For the past two days, I just been focusing on sipping throughout the day. I can only maybe get in 2 oz. at a time. Then I wait a couple of minutes and drink some more. In my 64 oz that includes my Protein Shakes.< /p>

Hi y'all! I had surgery on 9/15. I still have a lot of pain on the left side but it's getting a little better. Still taking Oxy.

I do very well with getting in all of my liquids and now drink 3 Protein shakes a day. I also drank them pre-surgery and found the Chike brands to be the best tasting. banana, chocolate and coffee flavored.

I also bought some whey Protein powder as its higher in Protein, and went online to find no sugar syrups. A company called Torani has lots of great flavored, pumpkin, almond, black cherry, gingerbread, Irish creme etc etc. they really help to offer a variety of shakes.

Hope this helps you. Wish you all the best as we all become "losers" ha ha

      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.
