My NUT told me last week that it was better to get Protein from food, but that I would need to ease into it. I can't see how there would have been any other way to do it! I'm still doing a Protein Shake when I first wake up just to make sure I'm set for the day. You're right - you just get too full at first.

How much of the Protein shake are you able to drink in one sitting?

Does it take all day for you to drink 1 shake?

I will start my Protein shakes on this thursday and I was curious

thanks

Uhhhh....yeeeaaahhhhh.... if you can't eat enough to make the Protein goal, then by all means go for the shakes! The Protein is important to keep your strength up and to burn fat and not muscle.

Once you start to eat more regularly and your capacity increases, you will naturally start getting most of your protein from food. It's way too early to expect that from you, however. :/

I am four weeks out and getting any Protein down is a chore and the shakes make me throw up and so does food but I did find this tube Protein Drink that has 50grams in one 3 oz serving that tastes like an old Jello shot better at room temp which gets me closer to my goal. I just hold my nose and get it down anyway I can like medicine. It's called supreme protein shot.

I enjoy EAS CarbAdvantage Protein Shakes. Have you tried those? They are thinner in consistency as have good flavor profiles. They are also convenient and decently priced. I have found them at Target, Kroger, Walgreens, and Walmart.< /p>

I am 6 months out and still not able to reach my Protein goals. NUT said until I reach my protein goals, I can have no other foods. I have a shake for Breakfast (not a breakfast person, so it's that or nothing) 1-2 oz. of lean protein for lunch and dinner. Maybe a snack, if I can, of some fat free plain Greek yogurt. Sometimes I mix 1 C. ff ricotta and 1T of ff/sf pudding powder, with some soy milk, in a blender, tastes like cannoli cream, makes about 4 meals for me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
