I'm almost 5 weeks post op. I get 65-85 grams a day.

One Protein shake-30 grams.

Various other high Protein soft foods fill in the remaining 35-55 a day.

I am 3 weeks post op today. I am getting 60 G Protein a day by drinking 2 Premier shakes(11oz each). Honestly, getting enough liquids is my biggest challenge.

Nutritionist recommended 90 gr8. I am 10 days post open and managed this since the 4th post opinion day mainly because of unflavored Unjury.

I am averaging 60 to 70. I'm trying to cut back on Protein shakes but I'm still having 1 and 1/2 a day.

At that point I was getting 100-110 g per day (it's a guy thing), which is still what it is at five years later (as it should be - these are generally maintenance levels of Protein we are trying to hit.) Doc added veg to my diet at the 10 day mark since at 90 g I was at a more than satisfactory level at that time.

I am 30 days post op. I get a min of 60 but aim for 80. In the last week I was averaging 75.

My main source lately has been a shake I have for Breakfast made of 5oz fairlife milk, 5oz fairlife chocolate milk, 1 tbs GENEPRO and 1 tbs PB2. Its 242 cals and 48g Protein. It takes me 2-3 hours to drink it, but most cause I forget its there when at work.

      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... :(
