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.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
