The most I'm able to get is 48g. I know that's why my weightloss is slllllooooowwww. But I can't do any Protein Drinks (they all make me sick). So I have to do food which at 7 weeks is beyond tough.

I shoot for 90g/day and 900 cal max. Today so far I'm at 91g and 675 cals.

Keep up the good work!! I'm having a hard time with the Protein.< /p>

How many grams of Protein are you guys getting in per day?

I'm 4 months post-op. I recently upped my Protein intake and my goal is 90 g of protein and around 750 calories a day. I struggle to get that many calories in, so on the days I go over, I don't worry about it. I try to concentrate on my protein intake.

I bought the Premier Protein shakes at SAMs today. Im hoping they work.

They are excellent and my go to for Protein to this day. I still can't quite get all my protein in so I am still drinking them. They are the only ones I can tolerate at this point. Every once in a while I will have a Matrix mint cookie Protein Drink but not very often. Definitely like the chocolate more than the vanilla. :)

I'm sposed to aim for about 80. Right now I drink a total of 16 oz of Syntrax nectar a day (23gms+9gms for the milk for each 8 oz) - so I guess thats 64 gms. I can drink about 5 oz at a time now (was sposed to drink 3oz every waking hour, but can drink more now). Still on full liquids so the Protein drinks are where I get 100% of my Protein. I have the unflavored powder, but I've only tried it once (in a glass of ice tea) and it was icky. Think I might've wasted $35 on it. Wasn't tasteless

Oh, and I'm 2 weeks out. So I don't think 64 is all that bad

I get in at least 60 and that's been my goal since immediately post-op. My Protein levels are good at every checkup (just annual now). I know many programs require more. Early out I needed two Protein drinks per day to get to goal. Now I get it all from food.

They are the best I have tried so far and I have tried a lot of them. I drink 2 a day still and each is 30g, 160 calories and very very low sugar. The chocolate is the best!! You can buy them at Sam's and costco. Give em a try! :)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
