Speak to your NUT. Your team must say what's right for YOU.

I'm told to take in 100g of Protein Post Op but to try and get the protein in Now too.

I will call her first thing in the morning. But she strictly prohibited me to take in that much protein. I think my surgery date will change

I hope your surgery date doesn't change but IF it does, don't be discouraged. Just keep listening to your NUT and drink lots of Water to flush your system.

@@Capri3Js I don't think your surgery date will change with a little more Protein. It shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks so much and I hope it don't be a problem. I go to the hospital Thru so I'll know my weight then. To see if I lost hopefully I did

I wouldn't think it would matter. For my pre-op diet, the only thing my surgeon was concerned about was that I didn't have any starches or sugars. Protein and fats were not limited. As a matter of fact he encouraged us to eat a lot of protein.

Good strategy.

I don't think that getting 90 vs 70 is going to be a big problem so long as there was no other calories from sugars, starches or junk. If it was simply getting a bit more Protein due to brand changes and all other macros remained the same.....I'll bet you are fine.

Protein and water will certainly have the weight coming off.

Anyone have an idea on why even 100 grams is too much Protein? What could be the harm in "too much" Protein before surgery? I was thinking it's the building block of new tissue, so how could you have too much pre-op?

I don't know that 100 grams is necessarily "too much". My protein target is 100 grams.

We don't store protein so we need as much as our body uses. Any excess will be converted to energy and stored, and since the liver stores that energy first, maybe the surgeon is just being overly conservative about protein pre-op so that doesn't happen.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
