Protein Goal/Shopping List



Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble getting the Protein drinks down. My tastes has completely changed and I wasn't expecting that. Even looking at the packages makes me sick. I don't recommend New whey. It's all sickly sweet and tastes the same to me. Can you taste unflavored powdered?

I'm 3 months post-op and I can't stomach not one more Protein shake. I'm having such a hard time getting my Protein in. My hair is beginning to come out and I feel like I'm malnourished. The thought of eating yogurt every day for Breakfast makes me want to hurl. I can't eat eggs. I try to get my protein in at lunch and dinner but I know I'm failing miserably. Any suggestions from anyone?

Have you tried any bars? I eat nuts, cheese, turkey Jerky, coconut Water with Protein, Peanut Butter. I was sleeved in June and my hair fell out in October, November and December, like 50%. It wasn't due to protein deficiency. If you get in 40 to 50 g of protein you're OK. I think people getting 80 or above, that is just too much unless you're an athlete. Just eat many times during the day. I know it's tough and you feel like you're not getting enough sometimes, but just try to do the best you can. I never drank shakes. Good luck. ????

      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?
