I am 20 days post op. I have lost 30lbs since pre-op diet I have not lost in 11 days. I can't get 64oz of Fluid like I'm supposed too and I can't get 60 grams of protein! I feel like a failure and I regret this whole damn thing!!!! I'm so tired and week I can't work out! I have 5 kids to take care of and I don't want too

I get maybe 25oz of fluid and 10 grand of Protein this sucks!!!!!!

I need advice bad!!!

Don't be frustrated, it's still early out. It gets better, just try sipping all day. Maybe drink warm decaf tee or drink your water at room temperature. As time goes by, it will get easier & your energy level will increase. I guarantee in 2 more weeks, you'll feel better & have no regrets. Just give it time. Good luck!

How many ounces of Protein shake can you get down?

Amp makes a Protein powder that's 60 grams of protein for 12 ounces, so not the much for a lot of power. Try that one.

It's Amp Wheybolic Extreme 60. It's pretty good if you like things sweeter.

Just keep sipping. It will get easier. This isn't a race, it's a life style.

I believe when the doctors say to get 60 grams of protein they mean when you get on your solid food schedule. It is very hard to get 60 grams right off the bat when your stomach is still swollen from surgery. I had trouble also with fluids and protein. Just make sure that anything you eat is high protein, if not, find something else! As for fluids, what saved me was sugar free popsicles! When I went for my 2 month appointment and told them I was not getting anywhere near the amount of fluids, that is what they recommended. It will get better. I am almost 6 months post op and I am loving my sleeve, but I remember one of my first posts that was very similar to yours! Good luck to you.

You are still swollen and healing from surgery. Don't panic. Also, in regards the the protein, check with your NUT. Every program is different, but I know on my program we were not allowed to have more that 25g of protein per meal.

I am sorry you are feeling so off. It is still early. Some advice I have heard was try different tempatures of fluids.

I am 4 months out but right after surgery I put protein powder in everything I drank and ate, get you some unflavored protein. I would start sipping at 8 AM and drink until 2 AM to get my 64 ounces and my 70 grams of protein in because I didn't want to end up back in the hospital because of dehydration and the protein helps you to heal quicker. I drank a lot of warm protein drinks- powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup and warm milk with chocolate Unjury.

I am 19 days post op as well and I am not getting all the protein I need either. I baked fish and sip all day and do what I can if you want a good protein shake try Lean Body its vanilla icream flavor and 25 grams of protein in a 14oz bottle.

Everyone has really good advice, I am happy to hear all these other options in case I come across the same concerns when my day comes, I especially like the idea of trying different temperatures of liquids, I usually don't like cold liquids anyway, and warmer liquids are often very soothing. Maybe some thing soy related like miso soup broth would have some good protein and have a little different flavor and texture. Good luck mom of 5, I am sure you are just at a small bump in the road, and like everyone said its really early on, don't regret it just yet

I had my last visit before my surgery with the nutritionist today. He said 'if you're struggling to get fluids in, above everything and all, make what you drink skimmed milk. Ideally with some protein powder in it, but milk is essential. None of that almond or soya milk either, they're stripped of their nutrients. Your body desperately needs the calcium and the protein so if you can't manage anything else, aim for that.' Seems like fair advice. I feel for you and for the record, 5 kids are exercise enough! Don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing great. I hope you feel much better very soon. Hang on in there
