A lot issues people have post op are self created, and I am going to leave it at that.

Actually I'm not.

OMG, thanks for the belly laugh! I needed that!

But, everything you say is true! I just read an article yesterday that said about 1/3 of female bariatric patients, and 2/3 of male patients don't even consume the RDA of Protein. That # is something like 46g for women and 60g for men.

I was dumbfounded, but maybe I shouldn't have been. A bariatric surgeon was speaking at a support group I attended. I mentioned I couldn't stomach the Protein Shakes the 2nd week out of surgery, but I got my 70g of protein in anyway. His jaw dropped and he exclaimed "HOW?!". So funny..

liquid yogurt, milk, broth, kefir. (The kefir has 40 grams in a 16oz bottle). My Vitamins also have 10g. No problemo!

Of course if someone couldn't tolerate dairy, that is a whole different story. And yes, I did get plenty of carbs, but that early out I don't think it is a problem. The body is trying to heal, and it can't do that if it is starving.

As my diet advances, I've been shifting the macros.
