How much protein do you get in a day?



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 1/2 months. Sleeved 8/22. I'm averaging around 90. 1 Protein shake (30 g) the rest is real food.

I am almost six weeks out and I reach my goal of 70grams of Protein daily. I have one Premier Protein shake and the rest comes from food.< /p>

This question is more for people who are less than 4 months out, but all answers are welcome.... How much Protein are you able to get in, in a day????

I'm 4 days out and having trouble keeping it down. My plan was to have 2 premier Protein shakes a day, I can barely finish half on 1! I know that's not good but it's making feel like phlegmy and full really fast that I don't want anymore for the day. Any suggestions?

I get about 90 grams per day -- all food. Today is Day 37 post-op for me.

How do you get 90 grams...What's your secret..lol

I eat 8 times in a day, spaced about 90 minutes apart (except for after the first "meal" of the morning when I leave 2.5 hours after to front load about 64 oz of water). It takes me all day (12-14 hours) of eating, waiting, drinking, waiting, eating again, etc. to get it all in.

Dilute them 1/2 and 1/2 with milk to cut the thickness and sweetness. You need the fluids anyways and milk adds even more Protein. You may also try other brands that aren't so thick. Syntrax nectar makes many flavors you can mix with Water to get more of a koolaid consistency.

      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. 🤞
