protein...help!!!

I added it up and with my 3 shakes and 2 slim fast bars I am only getting 46g of protein. I can barely make the 3 shakes a day and the 2 bars. I felt sooooo horrible last night, I felt as if I was dumping already!! I think it is the lack of carbs and other junk my body is use to. Which is fine, but I am worried I am not getting enough protein. I am thinking I am supposed to be getting around 80-90grams, or is that just what I have to do after surgery?? I am really not sure.. I only did 2 shakes the first day, and 3 yesterday so I am building up... My goal is 4 today. I am going to try to accompli**** Is anyone else having this dumping feeling? I am just not sure if maybe I am doing something wrong? Thanks!!

That dumping feeling my be because you are not getting enough calories and your blood sugar is dropping quickly (acually that is dumping).  I would call the doc and let them know what is going on...it may be that he will add something to your diet.  Have a great day and God bless, Penni

They added the slimfast bars already... I will give it till Monday if I am still bad, then I will call.... Thanks!! SO much!!

What kind of slimfast are you drinking? the low carb ones have 20 g of protein and I think the bars are 15? that would be 75. if you are drinking the so called "high protein" slimfast , they only have like 15 g, weird huh? If you are doing the high protein I would take them back to the store and exchange it for the low carb that's what I did at walmart, they didn't bat an eye. hope you feel better, susan

I have been drinking the optima, but now I am sending my son to exchange them for the high protein. They said they dont have the low carb... I called everywhere!!! So, I guess I have to go with the high protein. I hope this will work.

Walmart should have the low carb.. the high protein has to many sugars and to many carbs..you better ask your doctor what to do.
