8 weeks out, should I be able to eat 3 oz protein at a meal?



Recommended Posts

Everywhere I read says to eat 3oz of Protein at each meal, I can't! Is that normal?

I am 7 weeks out. I can do 3oz of cottage cheese or yogurt, but only 1.5oz of dense Protein (chicken, beef, etc)

I am 10 months out and cannot eat 3 oz. of dense Protein. It is absolutely normal. I can however eat 6 oz.of yogurt or 4 oz. of cottage cheese.

I can eat a cup or more of salad.

It all depends on what you are eating.

Don't worry, the longer out you are, the more Protein you will tolerate. I still have to drink one Protein shake every day to get to my goal. This is because my nut wants to ensure I eat a high protein low carb diet that includes fruits and vegetables. 2 bites of protein for every one bite of good carbs.

That's my plan and it is working for me.

Good luck! You are doing great already.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
