Is there such a thing. It 10pm and I realize that I still need about 40 grams of Protein. I can't possible bring myself to eat or drink anything else. I wish there was an easier way to get it all in. My stomach just can't hold it all some days.

This is funny, when I was about 2 weeks post op I literally Googled for them and they do have them, but they're 10 gm and below, so I just stuck to Protein Powder. Unflavored saved me because I was able to mix it in any food I ate and I would drink 8 oz with crystal light and add the 30 gm of unflavored Protein.< br>

Getting Protein in at week 2 for me was very difficult! I agree with "clc9", you have to start your day early. Protein is a must, I didn't do well getting in my protein the first three weeks. I now add 30g of GENEPRO unflavored to about 6oz of Water three times a day. It does get better. Best wishes!

My saving grace has been my chicken broth Soup. I boiled boneless skinless chicken breast in a gallon of Water with garlic powder for 45 minutes then put breast thru puree ,added 2 cans cream of chicken soup to broth then added breast back in. Then put it all. Thru puree again. I can only drink 1/4 cup at a time but i also drink 4-5 times a day. I also made vanilla sugar free pudding with slim fast high Protein Shake and 1/4cup 3x a day helps. I also made sugar free Jello with Protein water and eat 1/4cup 3x a day. Also if you like coffee i use 1 scoop of vanilla milkshake protein powder.

ive not been able to tolerate much else. Experiment tho and find what tastes good for you.

Im only 1week out post op and it hasnt been easy but keep faith and keep trying.

      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.
