I am so sick of soup, protein shakes and especially Isopure! I am doing the Isopure because of the 40 grams of protein, but I can't get it down in one sitting. So I have been doing 1/2 and 1/2. My doctor will not let me have the mushy/pureed food until a week from today. My mouth is actually watering when I think of tuna or chicken salad and I never liked them before. But that is what food deprevation can do to a person.

 

My question is, if you are eating regular food - once past the mushy or pureed stage, how are you getting your 70-80 grams of protein a day? I would love to not drink any more proteins until after a fill. Then my doctor wants 2 days of liquids and back to mushy and then regular food.

 

I have been eating my 3 meals a day, and in between drinking the water. I stop when I start feeling full and then I get a hunger pang or two a few hours later but they go away very quickly. Normal?

I am a luck one.. I drink Myoplex EAS and absolutely love them. I actually look forward to having mine in the morning. I don't like breakfast foods..well once or twice a week is plenty for me..so I prefer to drink mine.

You get your protein thru meats, cottage cheese, beans and whenever you are short you fall back on the shake. I know you don't like a lot of foods so you might want to try Recipezaar: The most complete collection of free recipes on the Internet, trusted by home chefs throughout the world. (not sure if you like to cook or not). You can search high protein, low carbs (that is what I use). It not only gives you the recipe but breaks it down completely by calories, protein, fat and so forth.

As for when you get a fill my doctor does the same..clear for 2 days, protein shakes for 2 days, puree for 2 days and then solids..each and every time.

With you just being banded..hunger pangs here and there will be normal. Your body (and mind) is trying to adjust to the band.

Take care and I wish you the very best!
