Protein Fatigue

[marynoel 12]

I had my surgery on August 19. Was also feeling pretty tired. Now that I am at the pureed/soft stage. ...I have been eating a lot of fish....it's soft. I had crabcakes, flounder, bluefish. I eat what I can and have the rest later...until it's gone. And I feel so much better. I just worry about getting my protien and Water in. I have no idea how many grams I am getting. I just know my energy level has so improved!

Well, if you have to just drink 3 protien shakes a day at 30gr of Protein each. That will put you at 90. Then strategize your meals to add another 40 grams. As you get better at this start to replace protien rich meals for 1 of those shakes. Remember, you don't need a big drawn out protien shake. I mix a 30 gr scoop of protien with 6 ounces of Water and slam it I do that first thing every morning and after every workout. Start the day with a good count.

Another good method I still employ is the ISO RTD bottles. I mix that with about 40 ounces of Water and drink all afternoon. Makes the water less boring and adds another 40 grams of Protein a day. Just my morning shake, work out shake and the ISO with my water I am at 100 grams a day alone.

Mark what is your Protein goal? My was set at 95 g a day. I have been really tired the last couple of days. Mine is stress related and I ate some sugar one day and I am paying for it. Good luck. Its also time for my B12 injection. I see you are from Edmond Ok. Who was your surgeon. I am from S. Oklahoma and had surgery in Norman. Good luck. Hit me up on MFP , moonbeam207

I had Dr. Hamilton Le at Integris in OKC. He was a great surgeon and I have had no problems at all. Who was your surgeon?
