Ugh protein is hard to do



Recommended Posts

... Today I am officially one week out and have lost 19 lbs. I know things will slow way down no matter what but I am trying to get my Protein in anyway. It's just so hard! It's so difficult just to get through one shake and for some reason today it just seriously made my stomach angry! How in the world do the rest of you pull it off?

This deal reminds me of driving on ice, when in doubt..slow down. Sleevie don't dig too much or too fast. I am over a year out and he still feels the same about it.

At one week out only slow tunes for you. Don't worry about starving. Won't happen. If you don't get it all in...no problem..tomorrow is another day.

Be good to sleevie now, she gonna make you look good later. :)

At 1 week out you should be focusing on hydration. If you can get all your liquids in then add Protein as your body allows, but only after you are getting all your liquids.

Isopure drinks will kill two birds with one SIP lol. 40 grams of Protein in one bottle and it counts toward your liquid. It is not a shake almost like a Powerade type drink.

I agree... I'm one week out and my doctor encourage me to focus on liquids to stay hydrated. To day I tried a Protein shake and couldn't get through the first sallow. I'm wasting shakes and money . When I see the doc Monday I will inform her but until then sip, sip, sip until your sleeve says different

I'm 5 days and experiencing the same thing, would rather make sure I'm hydrated and I don't overdo it, but I am trying my best and that is all I can do. I will be picking up some Isopure and mixing it with Gatorade this weekend!

Thank you everyone!! I will definitely focus more on my hydration. I did have a one week pre op diet. Think I lost 5 lbs. when I say 19, that is all since surgery. I had the unfortunate pleasure of trying Isopure last week. Now THAT is gnarly stuff. I think I'd rather attempt unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury in crystal light instead. Thank you again!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
