enough protein and water?



Recommended Posts

How the hell are we supposed to get in enough Protein and liquids in a day? I am lucky to get 2.5 oz of food in per sitting. And that makes me feel stuffed for hours. I struggle with getting in Water. Not because I don't want it, but because I feel so full. I am five weeks out (April 25th)

I am trying to cut down on shakes but my protein intake has decreased substantially.

Hi Josh first off Congrats 2 you, and don't feel alone i am almost 9 months out and still can't finish one Protein shake a day the first few months were bad i couldn't stand the smell of the shakes i didn't start drinking them again untill almost 5 months out once i was cleared for solid foods at week 7 i then got my protein from meats, egg, cheese, yogurt etc and Water did not taste the same after surgery i just didn't want it and could drink very little of it, but hang in there it gets better i promise

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
