Trouble getting in my protein and liquids



Recommended Posts

I am 6 weeks post op for gastric bypass. Experiencing lots of dizziness and weakness. Trying my best to get in the required 64 oz of liquids and 60 gr Protein, but not there yet. Anyone else have problems with dizziness and weakness?

Also, I have not attempted to eat salads or Peanut Butter yet, but would like to. Any problems? I know everyone is different and our tastes change after surgery, but I am trying to find something I really like to help with the protein shortage.

I don't mean to be obvious. But if your struggling to reach your Protein goal don't you think you should forget salad for now till your reaching your goals?

What are you having?

2 Protein Shakes and your at 60g so what are you struggling with?

I still have one shake a day and am lucky to meet my minimum 60g per day. And honestly, I'm lucky if I get 32 oz. of liquids every day.

I'm 4 weeks post op still on full liquid diet and I am completely rejecting the Protein Shakes. My dr just said to do Skim milk or Yogurt for now.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
