Just looking for insight, I find counting Protein kind of hard... I'm supposed to have 60g a day.

Breakfast: 1 egg with cheese. 1.5 turkey sausage links. (My protein count for this meal is ~20g)

Protein shake 8oz: 23g+8g from the milk.

Lunch: 2 slices Virginia ham, 1 slice honey turkey, 1 slice cheese. (Rolled-up, with Dijon mustard- no bread).

(?? Not sure how much protein).

Dinner: hamburger slider (1.7 oz- meat only) with 3Tbs baked Beans. (Again, hard to count the protein... The beans have 6g in a 1/2 cup). The meat I'm clueless on...

I'm 5 weeks post op rny. Just curious isd this seems to meet the target I have, or if I need to re work things. (I get too hung up when things are not an exact match on my fitness pal, so I avoid tracking on it.)

Why aren't you sure how much Protein is in the ham, turkey and cheese? If it's packaged food it should be on the package. If you buy it from the deli then you can weigh it and look up the protein content. If you don't have a good scale it would be a great investment. I would also recommend using something like MyFitnessPal to keep track of your daily protein count and look up protein content for different foods.

I second getting a decent food scale - it's a huge help :)

I use genpro unflavored Protein powder - it has 30g Protein in a tiny scoop, I add it to my Water bottle (24oz) with a crystal lite packet and drink two of those per day. It doesn't dissolve very well, but as long as you give a few good shakes before taking a sip it disperses through the bottle and you can't even taste it. My NUT likes me to get 60-75g protein per day and there's no way to get all of that from food alone.

Best of luck - your food choices sound perfect!

      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! 😞
