I Can't Drink One More Protein Shake!



Recommended Posts

Yes you will. I stopped at about 1 month out. I couldn't take it anymore lol. I was sleeved July 17, 2012 and have lost a total of 65 pounds so far. Eat healthy- eat Protein first and exercise. You will be just fine :-)

I am 4 weeks post op. When I saw my NUT at my 2 week appointment, she told me no more Protein Shakes during the day. The only time I should have one is if it is almost bed time and I have not gotten my 80grams of Protein in yet. All my protein needed to be from food.< /p>

Thats actually a nice healthy change but I will say...80g's? I'd never make it without a shake. I have trouble getting 60 in (my goal). I don't like the things, but I still have to use a half scoop or so daily to get myself up to close to 60.

I havent touched them since about a month out they nauseate me now. If you can get your Protein through food my NUT said to stop.

I have a hard time getting 80 in. I had no energy at my last appointment so she told me to try to get to 80 grams a day. Most days I get around 70. I add cheese to everything that I can. I feel like all I do is eat, even though it is not very much at a time. Sometimes I just get tired of eating. Who would have ever thought I would say that!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
