Let's talk NOT meeting protein goals

[Tessa1988 20]

So I'm 6 weeks post op. If you've read my posts before you know I was struggling really bad with not eating things I shouldn't such as bread/carbs/sugar. Well happy to say I got past that. But now I have a new problem, I simply don't seem to eat! I try and try but everything just makes me feel blah and I end up with days like today where all I've had is one cheese stick and some gummy vitamins. Clearly I know this isn't HEALTHY but how will this affect my weight loss goals?! I want to lose as quickly as possible (who doesn't) but I just can't seem to stomach any more food right now. And before someone says Protein Shakes, I can't keep them down. Since I woke up from surgery they make me vomit instantly.

Did you doc prescribe medicine for nausea? If not call and get some. How about cream Soups? You have to eat, not only how unhealthy its gonna really affect Hair loss. Try small abouts of protien every 2 hours.

Which shakes have you tried so far?
Their are several shakes on the market especially vegan ones that do not leave an after taste. You must consume at minimum the average amount of Protein for optimal health balance and to ensure rapid weight loss.

Sleeved 9/6/16. I know you don't want to hear about shakes. I stopped drinking them after surgery. They made me nauseous. I did find a recommendation on this app about 7-8 weeks post surgery that suggested GENEPRO. I have been using it ever since. One small scoop is 30 grams of Protein. Doesn't taste like anything. Don't put your nose in it. Made me nauseous to smell it in the beginning. Now i don't notice the smell. I mixed it in yogurt, Soup, and now in my milk for my Decaf latte just to jump start my protein intake. Good luck.

It will get better. All you can do is try your best.

If you continue to not reach your Protein goals it will affect your weight loss. The goals have been set to ensure we stay healthy but also to help promote weight loss. If that is all you were eating you also are not getting enough calories. If you not meet your calorie and protein goals your weight loss will slow or even stop.

Tessa1988, I had your problem about the carbs. Sugar not so much. My baby belly will not stomach Pasta, but I made zoodles last night tossed with tomatoes, garlic cloves, a little lemon, fresh rosemary and dill. That was yum! Also I've found no it helps me to cook. Someone else has to taste, but cooking makes me feel I'm getting to do something with food!

Hang in there. Every day is a new day and every moment is a chance to start over.
