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?

Its been okay. My stomach is still extremely sore. I'm assuming the muscles that they cut through to get my stomach out. How're you feeling?

      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?

      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... :(
