I too thought the exact same thing and then I would cheat on my diet not go to Weight Watchers meetings find a reason to consume ahole cheeseburger frys a large soda in under 10 minutes. The thing about the surgery is you still have to grind make great choices on food and exercise but when you have a moment of weakness you cannot sit down and eat that burger and fries. It is a tool but mainly a restriction against your own demons.

I totally feel ya. I am 11 days post op and I went shopping with my mom the other day. She was so hungry so I told her let's go have lunch. She ordered a sandwich and a cup a soup and I had just a cup of vegetable soup but mainly sip the broth. I was looking around the restaurant and everybody was so happy eating sandwiches, salad bar, baked potatoes and having soda. At first deep inside of me I felt like I made a mistake I'd rather be fat and eat ven tu have to suffer like this. But then a lady walked in the door around 400 pounds. She waddled to the counter and order The Lord of Meatballs subs with a salad bar that she loaded with cheese ranch and croutons. I watched her eat and she was not happy she was feeding an addiction. At that moment I was so happy that my broth filled me up. I was happy that I made the choice to change my life so that I was not her. Its hard to see other people doing things you can't do now but in the future months we can eat food again. And the small portions will change our lives forever. Just stay strong write in a journal focus and pray.

I use two packets of carnation instant Breakfast sugar free with one glass of 2% milk. It's thick so it takes me well over an hour to drink but it tastes the best to me. 2 shakes a day yields close to 40 grams of protein. That should be a good start if you're eating chicken as well. Also try lentils Soup. Lentil Beans have high Fiber and high protein. There is also a fruit liquid called New whey it has 40 grams of protein per 3 ounce shot but I mix that whole shot with Water to make it taste better. They have watermelon and fruit punch and it's pretty good. Go down like Kool Aid.
