Protein

[Ilovecats1985 100]

I've been getting the 60 grams of Protein I need daily. Today I'm really having a hard time getting it in. I'm at about 50 grams. I can't eat or drink anything else. I feel like I'm gonna be sick. I am stressing so hard right now Bc I didn't get my needed amount. Is one day and 10 grams less something I really need to stress about? Someone please tell me I'm overacting!

Then stop. You hit 50. Let it be good enough. It's of no good if you bring it all up. In the morning review your food log and think about way to better hit your Protein goal.

My stomach has been extra sensitive today. That's why I didn't fit my goal. Even the Zofran hasn't helped. I have a feeling I'll have a few more days like this.

Do the best you can. Maybe keep it basic like Soup with unflavored Protein Powder. If it last longer than 3 days I would call the doctor.

Thank you for the advice☺️

I am 3 months out, but to make sure I get my Protein I put a scoop of GENEPRO powder in my yogurt, which is usually my afternoon snack. It does not change the taste at all to me, and between that and my premier Protein shake for Breakfast, that's 60gms. I am now at 80-100gms, but by lunchtime I am more then halfway there, just a suggestion.

I am still in the purée phase so I don't have a lot of food to mix with protein powder but I do use about a scoop throughout the day adding it to everything I eat.

You're overreacting

I hate to break it to you but the premier Protein shakes are made from a whey concentrate, not a whey isolate, so your body doesn't absorb the entire 30 grams. You're probably only absorbing about 15 grams. You need a whey isolate in order to absorb all of it.
