I am about 8 weeks out post op. I am suppose to be getting 90 grams of Protein in a day. I am lucky if I get to 70 grams. I just don't feel like eating. The shakes gross me out. I have lost 54 lbs since surgery but the doctor says I would lose faster if I get my protein goal.

Just frustrated.

54 pounds in two months is awesome. I have lost 47 in the same time frame and have always been capable of getting in all my fluids/proteins. Granted I am not required 90 grams of Protein daily but I meet my requirement(s) no problem.

I was at a support meeting this afternoon and there are a few girls who had surgery within a couple of days of me; one has lost close to 60 pounds the other only about 35. All three of us are on the same post-op plan, everybody is different.

Obviously you should try to get in all your proteins/fluids/vitamins in daily but getting 90 versus 70 may not make you lose any faster OR it might.
