Protein protein protein!



Recommended Posts

I am trying to figure out how to get in 60 to 80 grams of Protein a day.

Can you give me an example of your day and how you get your Protein in?

Please and Thank you!

Oops! Let me add I am 10 days post op!

I drank 2 Premier Protein shakes a day for total of 60 grams of Protein the first few weeks. Once on solid food at 5 weeks I was able to get protein from fish, turkey, chicken etc but still have one shake to supplement. At 4.5 mths out I can't eat enough protein. Many folks use unflavored Protein Powder to add to solid foods. My goal for protein is now 70 grams a day and get that most of the time.

What is your eating schedule like, if you don't mind my asking?

At 4.5 mths out, I have a Protein shake for Breakfast. It keeps me full for 3 hrs or so along with constantly drinking liquids throughout the day. I eat lunch of mostly Protein, may have a protein snack in afternoon and then dinner around 7.

I don't eat on an exact schedule and some days I can eat more than on others. I always have liquid to drink except with meals.

At 10 days out , I sipped Water and drank protein all day. As you heal and swelling goes down, you will begin to figure what works best for you. And make adjustments as you go.

I got tried of Premier Protein really quick... No now I try to drink two cups of Fairlife Fat Free milk with sugar free chorale mixed in... And a scoop of GENEPRO Protein mixed in as well... It's odorless and tasteless. You can also put it in yogurt..

I add a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder to everything to boost the Protein. I scoop has 10 grams. It's lists cheaper in the canisters than the packets.

I scoop in 8oz of 1% milk is 28 grams of protein and 270 calories. I can only drink 4oz at a time.

Also add it to bone broth, but it can't be hotter than 140 degrees or it clumps up.

I mix it with yogurt and cottage cheese 1scoop per cup ahead of time.

Sometimes in V8 juice... I do miss veggies.

There are probably other brands of unflavored protein out there.

I do something similar. I use 5oz fairlife and 5oz fairlife chocolate with 1tbs GENEPRO and 1tbs PB2. Tastes kinda like a Peanut Butter cup.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
