I am 4 days post op I cannot figure out how I'm supposed to get 80 grams of protein in I take a couple bites of something and I can't eat no more. That has got to be wrong!

I know it is different for men and women but I easily get in 100grams of Protein a day. I buy New whey liquid Protein. It has 42 grams of protein per a 3.8 fl oz bottle. $2.68 a bottle a walmart. It comes in different flavors and I mix it with crystal light mio or propel of similar flavor. GOOD LUCK!!!!

I wouldn't be that worried about hittinf your protein goals this early out, main thing is to stay hydrated. Alot of us were still on a liquid diet at the time and with how little we could sip we weren't hitting those protein goals yet.

Ok here is the next question:

I'm not having to much pain with the incisions, the bulk of my pain is where my overy which is weird b/c I had a hysterectomy. But that overy is still there. For some reason I doubt that this surgery has anything to do with my ovary but I'm not sure why I'm having so much pain there do you think that it could be related or is it something different altogether. Keeps me up all night and threw out the day. Omg I feel like I'm being a big cry baby and normally I handle pain pretty well

Did any other females experience this maybe I pulled a muscle

I drink my shake with crushed ice every morning. I like it watered down a bit as its a bit rich. And I like munching ice. AND it also helps with my fluid intake. I keep crushed ice and some drink at all times.

I'm not complaining at all.....but 12 lbs down in a week?

That first big weight loss within the first 2 weeks post op is mostly water weight. It's not uncommon to see big crazy numbers.

What absolutely saved me - genepro. I bought it at amazon. It is quite expensive but worth every penny. It is a powder that really is tasteless. You can add it to cold or warm things. Mixes extremely well with potato soup, sugar free hot chocolate. I would not be getting my protein in without it. Good luck!

@@lynziv Congrats on your surgery. I am 3 weeks post-op today. I had the same kind of pain you are explaining, I think it was the gas they fill you up with, i never got the shoulder pain everyone talks about, mine settled in my pelvic area and had bad pain there, but it went away after the first week, or maybe even sooner.

Congrats again on the start of your new journey!

Thank you for that. I'm 5 days post op I have no energy and I can't sleep at night. did you experience that

I'm 9 days out and just really regained my energy! I know it sucks but I've found that hydrating was the key. I had a really hard time taking on anything for the first 4-5 days.

Ok

13 days post op. I'm feeling much better. I'm having a hard time exercising. Bla I can't get motivated to walk more than 15 minutes. I have lost 12 lbs. And I'm already trying to cheat on cheatable foods. Foe example with jello I'm adding whipped cream. Yesterday I hosted a baby shower and had the cream filling of a cake. Not much just a couple bits. But still you would think after all I have been through cheating would not be an option for me. OMG I'm such a food addict. But how the heck do you go to a party and not want to eat the food they have there especially when there's nothing there you can eat. I'm very disappointed I'm myself.

You plan for it. Perhaps eating before you go so you're too full to eat at the party? Or help organize and run the events so you're too busy to eat. Or bring a safe snack like a fruit tray and only nibble on that.

However if you're really concerned, it may be time to seek counseling. WLS is only going to help so much. You have to be able to put in the work as well.

get isopure water n drink two bottles a day they have forty two grams each

I was just reading up on isopure Protein powders to see if they were available in Australia, i found one stockist online in Sydney. Now the interesting information on the label for the zero carb range has 50 grams of protein per serve and its lactose free woohoo!! This will help me easily reach protein goal every day since i cant eat meat. I'm considering to bite the bullet and try this stuff only problem is i don't know what flavour!! Its fairly expensive here approx $90 to get it shipped to Melbourne so i don't want to get it here and not like the stuff - any advice on which flavours are nice??
