Don't push the Protein right now. Focus on hydration. I fought the protein for a few days and realized I was fighting a losing battle and it was far more important for me, and you to focus on good hydration. When I added in protein around day 13 I had no issues hitting my levels and continue to maintain them 5.5 weeks out! Water Water Water.... Sip Sip Sip....

If you get in at least 30 or 40 on your third day you are doing great. Continue sipping your shakes as you can and be sure you are drinking enough Water. If you're able to get 30 or 40 grams today, you should be able to increase your intake by 10 or 20 grams per day, each day, over the next few days. You want to make an effort to get your Protein in, but you don't want to force it.

Don't panic. I wasn't even allowed Protein until the 2nd week. :)

Just keep trying!

Ty so much I was so worried.

I really think people blow the whole Protein thing out of proportion. Honestly, I've been averaging about 50 a day and I'm fine. Sometimes more and sometimes less...

Concentrate more on hydration now. It's far more important. IMO

I drank Isopure clear drinks - much easier to get down and 20oz/40g Protein a bottle. They are kinda expensive, but it was all I could do at the time. Bought at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.< /p>

I like the fruit punch and grape isoprene, they have smaller 6 oz bottles, try those if you can find them. Try alternating Water, Protein, water, protein.

I liked apple melon the best... I mean none were AWESOME to me, but they were all drinkable. Like the poster above - I also alternated with Water, but concentrated more on the Protein until I got in all I needed for the day.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
