Not getting enough protein, calories, or liquid



Recommended Posts

I just had my sleeve on Aug. 13th. I was released from the hospital on Aug. 15th. Since then, I have had lots of abdominal from gas. My doctors gave me my pain pills with I am taking as needed with a stool softner. I have had good BM's since coming home from the hospital. I am walking as much as possible but my chest and stomach hurts when I breath in deep. I am also having issues sleeping. I have not taken anything for my gas other than oxy. I am getting 90+ grams of Protein a day from my shakes as well as sipping Water and Powerade all day long into the night. My eating is coming along but it's not great. I am so scared I will stretch my new stomach that I am afraid to eat a lot. Any suggestions, opions, ect that can be given?

I had the same issues after surgery. I only had to do 40g of Protein in my clear liquid phase. Just do the best you can! You'll get to a point where you can drink more at one time! Hang in there it gets better!!

Thank you for the reply. Can I eat scrambled eggs cut up or do I have to eat egg beaters? Can I have boiled eggs?

      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! 😞
