Thank you everyone! I am 7 weeks out and would love to be done with these protein drinks. My dr has me on 90 grams of protein which I am thinking is a crazy amount (not to mention unattainable). How much protein is the average patient on?

Sorry to hear you are having so many negative symptoms. I would call your dr because you have quite a few things going on. It is nice to talk to your dr and check in when there are so many problems early on. Good luck.

Call back and ask what happens during that time frame ... then you won't have to wonder. During my pre-op visit I filled out paperwork and asked some questions. But it didn't take that long! Good luck.

Any weight you lose before surgery is a good thing. It makes the surgery easier on the dr. Some drs don't even have their patients lose before surgery. I was only on liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery and that was it. How are things going post-op? Is your support group helping?

Hello! I just found this site and love it! I am having a hard time drinking my protein drinks each day. I have tried many but just can't seem to find one I can stand. I am eating solids and do get some protein in that way. But not enough. How many months are we supossed to drink our protein drinks? And does anyone have a super good one to recommend? Thanks!
