I have two Protein Shakes a day with at least 30g of protein (usually as Snacks - this morning at 6am I had 3oz of chicken salad as Breakfast, then had a shake here at work around 10 am). At work I drink the premade Premeir Protein shakes (you can get them at Wal-Mart, online at Amazon or in some grocery stores). At home I drink the Body Fortress powder, which is also 30g. That's 60 right there. With the body fortress, I use silk soy milk so that adds in another 6g. Because I am Diabetic, I've basically been trying to low carb the heck out of everything. So I will eat lots of Chicken and yogurt (greek has more than regular). And I weigh everything on my food scale so I know if I have 2 oz of chicken how many g of protein I am getting. I've become a bit of a control freak since I started this process. But if I don't weigh and measure and keep track I worry I will just revert back to old habits. I still have things I need to work on. the sleeve didn't magically make me like vegetables. So I've got to work on finding ways to prepare them so that I will eat them.
Hi Forsythia, welcome! Wow what great progress. Just goes to show how each body is unique. I had my VSG on 4/28 and Im about 30+ down from my highest and 20+ from surgery. I gained about 10lbs of IV Fluid weight while in the hospital so I had to get that off at the beginning… Can you tell me how you are getting all your protein in? I am struggling with that!
