Minimum recommended by surgeon and RD is 64 gm, based on both my starting and ideal weights.

Shoot for as many grams of Protein per day as your goal weight. 150 pounds=150 grams per day etc...

Wow! That's surprising. I'm not saying it's wrong by any means. I'm just surprised.

So, if one's goal weight is 250, their Protein intake should be 250g? Wow! I guess it just goes to illustrate just how different all of the WLS programs are.

Not getting enough Protein is terrible for your body especially post bypass. You would eat the Protein equal to a healthy goal weight. No one should have a goal weight of 250 unless they are a taller man.

If a male weighed 500# plus, they could very well have a goal weight of 250#. If I am following the poster's program, I would aim to ingest 250gr of protein/day? I'm just asking. Is that what that particular program aims for?

I am 10 weeks post bypass. What if you do not get in the recommended 64g? What does this effect? Could it stall your weight loss?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes, at the vey least it will stall your weight loss. If you don't get enough Protein your body will consume itself (muscles and organs like your heart).

We need Protein to keep our metabolisms running, to build and repair muscle, skin, hair, etc.

I am still pondering this program's recommendation for protein intake.

There are many WLS folks whose goal weight could very well be 250#. My question is--according to the above post, are those folks supposed to ingest 250g/daily?

I am not being negative or accusatory. I am simply asking the question.

Looking forward to learning...

I am 7.5 months out. I do about 50g a day in "supplements (shake and bar) alone plus actual food. I think I'm getting about 75 or more g a day.

Depending on your size too many grams could burn out ur kidneys. 150 or 250 sounds like quite a bit but best to go with what your Dr recommended, because larger people may need more. Also you want to spare muscle mass and lose fat so you may need more Protein.< /p>

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
