7 wks. post-op not enough protein



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I am 7 weeks post-op. Worried I'm not getting in enough Protein. I am really having a tough time eating any meat and Greek yogurts are way too thick so they get stuck. I have no appetite and I have to literally make myself eat and drink all day, (It's kind of surreal ) I am lucky if I can get 60-70 grams of protein a day. Is this normal for 7 weeks? I have an appt. with my nutritionist on Wednesday and we will review my food journals. Just wanted to see where everyone else was at with getting in enough of their protein.

Someone at my work let me try their Isopure Apple melon drink. It's so delicious and those bottles have 40gm of Protein. I'd recommend that. It's pretty thin like juice. Just drink it with ice. It helps.

I was going to mention Isopure. I love the Apple melon, grape and fruit punch and I REALLY love the 40gms of Protein and they are not a shake! :P

I actually put mine in the freezer for a couple hours, get that "slushy" thing going. Seems like the colder it is, the better it tastes to me.

Good luck! :)

      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! 😞
