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.

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

      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! 😞
