Speak to your NUT. Your team must say what's right for YOU.

I'm told to take in 100g of Protein Post Op but to try and get the protein in Now too.

I will call her first thing in the morning. But she strictly prohibited me to take in that much protein. I think my surgery date will change

I hope your surgery date doesn't change but IF it does, don't be discouraged. Just keep listening to your NUT and drink lots of Water to flush your system.

@@Capri3Js I don't think your surgery date will change with a little more Protein. It shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks so much and I hope it don't be a problem. I go to the hospital Thru so I'll know my weight then. To see if I lost hopefully I did

I wouldn't think it would matter. For my pre-op diet, the only thing my surgeon was concerned about was that I didn't have any starches or sugars. Protein and fats were not limited. As a matter of fact he encouraged us to eat a lot of protein.

Good strategy.

I don't think that getting 90 vs 70 is going to be a big problem so long as there was no other calories from sugars, starches or junk. If it was simply getting a bit more Protein due to brand changes and all other macros remained the same.....I'll bet you are fine.

Protein and water will certainly have the weight coming off.

Anyone have an idea on why even 100 grams is too much Protein? What could be the harm in "too much" Protein before surgery? I was thinking it's the building block of new tissue, so how could you have too much pre-op?

I don't know that 100 grams is necessarily "too much". My protein target is 100 grams.

We don't store protein so we need as much as our body uses. Any excess will be converted to energy and stored, and since the liver stores that energy first, maybe the surgeon is just being overly conservative about protein pre-op so that doesn't happen.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
