1a. Tips on Protein importance

Good morning. I want to share some information I just learned from my doctor.
I had rny in August and I was constantly nauseated. I felt like I had 24 hour morning sickness. What this turned out to be is lack of protein. One month out from surgery I was down 30 lbs and the weight loss stopped that day. I went 14 days without the scale moving at all. I was freaking out that this was as far as I would get on my journey to weight loss.
My doctor said this is because I was lacking protein and that I needed to drink some shakes. I am so burned out from the pre-made shakes from the 2 week liquid diet pre-surgery and 2 week liquid diet post-surgery. I can't get one down at all.
I went to GNC and they picked out a 100% Whey Protein Isolate powder that I can mix and keep down. Each shake has 23g of protein. They have 10 different flavors. I went to Target and checked out their protein bars and I found one brand that we can have. It is "Pure Protein high protein bar". It has 20g per bar with only 2g of sugar and I like the taste. They have 5 different flavors. I bought two flavors: the chocolate peanut butter I love; the chocolate deluxe is VERY RICH.
I finally am getting in my protein and my scale has started to move again! The last 3 days I have lost 6 pounds! I am so happy that I am not stuck at 30 lb loss permanently. The nauseation has completely stopped.
So I guess my point is that if someone mentions to you that they feel nauseated (like morning sickness), then they are not getting enough protein. If they add protein, the nausea feeling should go away.
Best wishes to everyone on this journey.

Thanks so much I have been looking for a low sugar protein bar. I'm 4 months post-op and have lost 68 lbs. I feel great, I love my protein shakes! I swear they keep down my cravings for sweets. I drink one in the am and one in the pm. They also have 23 grams of protein per shake. I'm going to get some protein bars right now Thanks again Sara
