This probably sounds like a reeeeally stupid question--so sorry...

I usually just have a Protein Shake for Breakfast everyday because it's easy. I've heard that a lot of people are drinking Protein Shakes in between meals if they're hungry. If so, how many Protein Drinks do you have a day? I've never done this, but if it's "ok," I really want to start so I'm not "starving" until the next meal... :thumbup:

My doctor frowns on Protein Shakes once you've moved on to solid food. I do on occation have a Premier Protein shake (30 g Protein 160 calories) prior to going to the gym since the time between lunch and dinner is long and I exercise in between. One thing to consider is perhaps having a small (1-2 oz) of chicken breast as a snack. That might actually stay with you longer than a shake.

I usually have the same Premier Protein shake for breakfast every morning. It holds me over to lunch time.

I guess my problem is with portions, still. I just had my 4th fill on 10/1 and I'm now at 7cc in my 10cc band. I think I'm really close to my sweet spot, but I still feel like I have to watch my portions so I don't overeat. Sometimes, after my 1/2 cup meal, I might still be hungry, which boggles my mind.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
