Trouble getting in my protein and liquids



Recommended Posts

I am 6 weeks post op for gastric bypass. Experiencing lots of dizziness and weakness. Trying my best to get in the required 64 oz of liquids and 60 gr Protein, but not there yet. Anyone else have problems with dizziness and weakness?

Also, I have not attempted to eat salads or Peanut Butter yet, but would like to. Any problems? I know everyone is different and our tastes change after surgery, but I am trying to find something I really like to help with the protein shortage.

I don't mean to be obvious. But if your struggling to reach your Protein goal don't you think you should forget salad for now till your reaching your goals?

What are you having?

2 Protein Shakes and your at 60g so what are you struggling with?

I still have one shake a day and am lucky to meet my minimum 60g per day. And honestly, I'm lucky if I get 32 oz. of liquids every day.

I'm 4 weeks post op still on full liquid diet and I am completely rejecting the Protein Shakes. My dr just said to do Skim milk or Yogurt for now.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
