Struggling to get in protein.



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in December and I'm STILL struggling to get in all 60g of Protein. shakes don't sit to well with me but I try to get in one a day. I get my protein in through salmon, yogurt or egg whites but not all 60g.

Any suggestions/ideas? What shakes do you guys like? Maybe it's the brand of shakes I'm getting. Not sure.

My favorite Protein Shake is the Premier Protein chocolate. I haven't really had to rely on shakes much for several months now, but on days I have to travel for work, they really come in handy. I'd suggest eating small meals several times a day to meet your Protein goals. Even at 5+ months post-op, I still eat 7 times per day, about 2 hours apart. I usually get about 100-120 grams of protein per day, so you should be able to get to 60 without too much problem using that strategy. (BTW, the premier protein is 30 grams in 1 container, so that would get you halfway there on its own...)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
