14 weeks out...60-75 grams protein/ 80-90 grams on strength training days... I can barely reach 700 calories... my NUT suggested goal is 1200 cal Sent from my KFTT using the BariatricPal App

Protein shakes are my icing on the cake for meeting my daily protein goals 75-80 grams... I either start or end the day on a syntrex nectar double cookies and cream with lactose free milk (30 grams)... salmon, tuna, shrimp, chicken and Turkey are my major protein points... good luck with your journey... you will find your favs for daily protein.

Yeah the Water intake is so hard.... I can on good day get 6 cups of water... Protein has been 50-60, I need to get those Protein shakes back in my life with syntrex nectar& lactose free milk instant 31 grams ... those shakes were my "get out of jail card" for meeting protein goals 75-80 grams... and Protein Bars are not safe either... high carbs, high fats and made with whey concentrate not whey isolate... Before vsg I was constantly thinking of food....now I don't seem to think of it that much but I need to be able to eat healthy... go from one extreme to another...

This 2 week liquid diet (right before surgery) is very specific to your surgeons recommendations for liver shrinkage... it's mostly composed of drinking Protein shakes( a brand selected by your bariactric team) along with provider/NUT specific foods that are extremely low fat, no/low carbs, no/low sugars... it's sends your body into ketosis... this is to assist in liver shrinkage so the lap trocars/scopes can maneuver easy w/out damage to surrounding internal strutures... It's hard the 1st couple days, but gets less difficult each day... heck I survived it...lol ( i should get a t-shirt made with "I survived my 2 week pre-op diet w/out killing anyone..." lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using the BariatricPal App

I felt like i was homicidal day 2-3... but too tired to do anything... having weird dreams or an epiphany, then by day 6 it was the calm after the storm... I survived 2 bday parties, 1 baby shower and a wedding reception during that 2 wk span... after I woke from surgery i ask M.D. "did my liver shrink?" He said said No, not significantly...
