I was sleeved on 12/14/16. I'm having trouble getting all of my Protein in. I know this is common but I was wondering how much you guys are getting in? Between having to get 64 oz of Water and a minimum of 60 g of protein a day, I'm struggling. I'm getting about 40 g of protein a day.. I really don't want to lose my hair or get sick. I'm sipping on it all day, but there's just no room in my pouch for anymore! Lol

As you swelling goes down, you will be able to take more in. It was probably a couple of weeks before I got 60 oz. of Protein in. There really isn't anything you can do to guarantee you won't have some Hair loss, so just do your best!

I would recommend getting the flavored Protein Water servings. Youll getting your Protein and Water intake all at the same time.

I'm struggling with the water and protein as well, I only get slight hunger pain I think, I drink some liquids and goes away.

It takes me about 1.30 hour t get about 8-10 Oz of protein down, so my Soups and water have to do the rest.

I was sleeved on 12/5...

Agree you're still very fresh out to worry too much about getting all the Protein in, just do the best you can and focus on fluids, preferably with some type of Protein to combine them. You may also want to try some protein powders, like the unjury, comes in various flavors. The chicken flavor is very tasty and comforting on a fresh post op tummy, and it's 20 or 21gr of protein. That combined with 1 Premiere Protein shake (30 grams of protein) would get you almost to 60 with just those 2 things. And I agree with suzzzzz....there isn't too much you can do to avoid hair loss, you either get it or you don't, and odds are higher you'll experience Hair loss to some degree regardless of getting in all protein/vitamins or not. Be well!

What are the names of the Protein Water? I am 8 days post op and having similar struggles

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think they're the flavoring packets in the aisle with the regular Water flavorings. I'm not sure if they're sugar free or not but I definitely am gonna look into them! How are you feeling?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
