I made a turkey bowl and it was delicious! Mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, turkey and gravy. I ate half!

Hey y’all. 5 weeks post op tomorrow and had my 1 month follow up Monday, they were really happy with my progress. During the appointment the doctor told me she wants me to try to hit 80 grams Protein & 30 grams Fiber a day.
I’m able to get in the 60-80 gram range for protein if I drink one of my shakes a day, but the fiber goal feels really high! Even the Benefiber supplements i bought are >10 grams a day. Not sure how I can get there.
Any tips? Suggestions?

Girl you’re going to hurt yourself. You need to focus on sticking to your surgeon’s plan for slowly moving through liquids, purées, etc. A whole breadstick one week post op is crazy.
Did your doctor clear the elliptical? You have a ton of internal work that you may not feel but it’s there and your body is healing. Don’t go too hard right now, walking is great.
Why are you pushing your boundaries? You literally have done nearly all the things they told you not to do within your first week!
ETA - you said you didn’t have nausea or vomiting as if you were expecting it. Not everyone does have it, you can’t bank on that deterring you from overeating.

That's not quite true. I was liquids for 2 weeks and now I'm on soft foods not purees.

ive always had a dream of skydiving but i was always too heavy. You have to be 250 to be able to do it. This was my first goal and this morning i hit it. I should be taking the jump within the next few weeks. i cant wait!!!

Things to try -
take the omeprazole in the evening instead of morning since your problem just seems to be overnight - timing shift may be all you need, but if not...
try 2x per day, or another drug in the PPI class - Protonix, Nexium, Prevacor their generic OTC analogs
try adding an H2 inhibitor such as Zantac, Pepcid, or their generic OTC equivalents in the evening - this class of drug, while less effective overall than PPI's, is reputed to be particularly effective for overnight reflux, and has less worrisome potential side effects than PPI's.

I was on omeprazole 2x/day. Maybe your doctor would be ok with that.

I had it bad also get the prescription do a search of my posts i posted the med a few months back - Was great and worked amazing - Only needed it for a few weeks

I haven’t had reflux during the day, just while sleeping. I’m going to try not eating a few hours before bed and will ask my doctor about other meds next week.

Thanks! I had the sleeve on 10/23.
