    Get a referral to a dietician - you need professional advice if you have had gastro or bariatric surgery in the past.

    Yoou've had your surgery 5 years ago and are having trouble with protein?
    First off, I had gastric bypass and can almost fit as much food into my stomach a normal person. The sleeve you have a bigger pouch so I don't understand why you would be struggling to get your protein in?
    Second, Why do you need 130 grams of protein? That seems very very high. Maybe try to aim for something smaller?
    Third, you definatly need to speak with your doctor.
