Problems with protein



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved March 6th and have been having a horrendous time getting in any kind of Protein. I have now tried many different protein powders and all of them make me throw up. I don't really understand why. I've been eating greek yogurt and cottage cheese to get protein in but i'm still not able to get very much in as i can only eat about 3 oz of food at a time ( get maybe 15- 20 grams in a day). I have my doc appointment the 19th, so will talk to them then, but i was wondering if other people have had this issue and what they did, or learned about it. Any help would be welcome!

I use Unjury non-flavored added to things, like cottage cheese, or the Bariatric Fusion, vanilla and chocolate mousse. I mix it with skim milk instead of Water to get added Protein. You can add Greek yogurt to sugar-free pudding or in place of the cold water in sugar free Jello. Use 6 ice cubes in the jello mixture of hot water and then went it starts to get a little thicker add a 6 oz container of non fat yogurt instead of the cold water. I don't like Greek yogurt. I ate fat free refried Beans which I could get down.

Also, 1/4 cup pumpkin, 1/4 c. Fat free Cool whip, 1/4 c. FF half and half, Splenda, 1 cup Water Or skim milk, and pumpkin pie spices or cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Recipe from nut for Thanksgiving and holidays. That's what I had on Thanksgiving and Christmas day.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
