Protein questions

Can not getting in enough protein effect your weight loss. What are some negative side effects of not getting in enough protein?

not getting enough protein will make your body eat your muscles and organs to get protein it needs

it is very dangerous if more than a short time

Yes, big time. It is a critical success factor in weight loss. You need to get your protein in. Your body will get it from somewhere if not from a food source, your muscles (including your heart). Your nails will become brittle, your skin will be dry and scaly, and your hair will begin to fall out. Lots of bad things. Bottom line get your protein in.

My first real question is why are you having a hard time with it? It is not that difficult to do after about 3 weeks post op. Its a challenge up to that point but once you get there should not be too difficult. I try to get at least 30 grams in for breakfast. That gets me a good portion of the way there to my goal of 100 grams every day. You should be shooting for 60 to 80 each day. 

But 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up is my rule. I got 52 this morning in one protein shake.

I can't seem to eat or drink enough protein in a days time usually I am lucky if I can eat 2oz of protein at a time. I just too full too fast been doing a little better with it the past couple days though.

How far post op are you. Are you drinking protein shakes or drinks?  Try IsoPure Zero Carb. It is light like water. Doesn't taste great but 40 grams of protein in 20 oz. it's an easy way to stay on track early out. You can add some Mio or Crystal Light to make them taste better. 

Why are you not getting enough protein?

Well I just can't seem to eat or drink enough protein but I am working on it.
