If we can barely eat or drink after surgery how are we going to reach Protein goals? We would have to consume around 32 ounces of Protein shake to get the right protein. At one oz at a time how is that possible.

I scoop of nectar protein has 23 grams of protein. In the beginning I mixed 1 scoop with 4 ounces of Water. That was considered Clear liquids for the first stage of recovery. 3 shakes would give me 69 grams of protein. The 4th shake is a bonus amount. That also counts as your Fluid intake. That's a total of 12 oz with all protein requirements. Or drinking 4 shakes gives me 16 oz of fluids with 92 grams of protein.

I just stayed with it all day (same with fluids). Getting in Protein and fluids really is a full-time job. At Day 25 post-op, it is still a full-time job, but it gets easier every day. (Now the challenge is getting all the fluids in and accounting for the 30 minutes before and after any kind of solid food.)

      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. 🤞
