Love this! #MyBariatricLife #bariatrics #bariatricWho really needs 100 g of protein or more after WLS? 🤔•
•
Just as a side note-> Doors for my new course, How to Eat With Confidence After Weight Loss Surgery are closing today at 4pm PST. So if you want to jump in now is the time.... link to register is in bio 😍•

Now back to this post 👆🏼😉

I would argue not many but some do. The @ASMBS suggest 60-100 G protein after WLS. Usually the higher end is reserved for men that are taller in stature or women that are very active and tall. •
•
If someone needs around 100 g of protein, it’s challenging (if not impossible) to do it with real food. Typically at least one protein drink is needed. •
•
What you see in the picture is 👇🏼•
•
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with 1/2 c frozen blueberries•
•
Snack #1: Protein Drink•
•
Lunch: 1/2 Tuna salad (about 1 can), 1/3 cup carrots and 1/2 an apple.•
•
Snack #2: Protein Drink•
•
Dinner: Bone-in chicken thigh with 1/3 cup broccoli and 1/4 cup sweet potato.•
•
I am curious.... what protein goal did you receive from your surgery center? 🤔•
