I had my surgery two days ago, July 20, by Dr Robert Shin. I have five very small incisions which are sore but tolerable, a little nausea and still feeling sort of wiped out.

I am having a real hard time getting miniumum of 60 gms of Protein in on this full liquid diet week. I am drinking Protein Drinks and adding some protein to cream of chicken Soup. Any other suggestions?

Congratulations on your surgery. I am glad you are doing well. Maybe you could get some unflavored Protein things - like I know that this stuff called Unjury is high protein and it has an unflavored kind. Mix it with your Water or tea or whatever you are drinking. You won't even be able to taste it. You can buy it off the internet at unjury website

hi moonpie,

i use the new-whey Protein bullets. i bought them online at A1Supplements.com - Wholesale supplements Nutrition at Low Prices to Build Muscle, Lose Fat with EAS, MuscleTech, BSN and more!

they have them in 25 gms and 42 gms

i like the blue raspberry and fruit punch the best

i continue to use these today if i cant eat enough Protein

Congrats on your surgery! I was banded on the 16th and I'm facing the same issue. These are some great suggestions! I will try both.

I am two days out and am having the same issue. I am just not hungry enough to get down that much Protein. I am getting most of my protein from the Unjury chocolate (20 grams protein per scoop) and 2 cups of skim milk (16 grams protein). it doesnt taste too bad at all. I had horrible luck with the unflavored and juice.< /p>

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
