1 month post op and loving life

It's been almost 5 weeks since surgery and down 44lbs already. It's amazing how small things like buying pants fitting differently in a chair and having some meds decreased can put a tear of happiness in your eye and mske u walk a lil bit taller. 

First week after surgery was hard but not complaining because I now look forward to tomorrow and am so happy I didn't let my nerves stop my decision. Talking with people on here kept my spirits high and today am on my way towards my goal weightloss. 

Wondering if it's normal to not be able to make the 100grams of protein each day? Trying to come up with new foods but this is where I'm struggling right now. 

It's completely normal not to get 100 grams of protein.  Many vets get that amount in, and you should always strive for that if you can, but I'm happy as long as I'm getting 65+ grams a day.  my goal is 60-80grams.  I rarely go over 80 unless I eat a lot of shellfish. I'm 3 months post op.

My program minimum is 60 grams per day. At 6 months out I am easily getting that amount in every day. I have to stay within a certain calorie range per day as well, 600-800, so trying to get 100 grams would be hard for me while staying in my calorie range.  

Good luck! 

I have yet to achieve 100 grams of protein.  I usually average 70-80.

Who told you that you need that much protein? I have never eaten that much in a day, and I'm almost 8 months out! I aim for 70 grams per day, and that is still a struggle for me. Congratulations on your success so far!

Glad for you. My Bariatric plan only requires 60-65 grams of protein per day which is divided into three meals (approx. 20 per meal). No snacks with my program. Google and search for post op Bariatric food lists and recipes, lots free on line for all stages.
