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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
