What are everyone's nutritional goals? I haven't really seen anything beside eating >30grams of Protein every 3 hours and <6grams of cards. But daily whats you Calorie intake, protein intake and carb intake???

My daily intake is a goal of 1000 calories, more than 64 grams of Protein and less than 60 grams of carbs. I have never heard of the requirement by hours.

I have never counted anything. I eat what I want, when I want. Rule of thumb is eat your Protein first, veggie then fruits. bread last. I use toddler plates to prepare my meals. Biggest portion meat, 2nd slot veggies then tiny piece of bread. I have had many tests since surgery that show all my Vitamin, protein, etc levels are in normal limits. That's just how i do it. Don't have a clue how many calories, fat grams, grams of protein etc. This is a life style change, not a diet...so my counting days are over :) I eat until I am satisfied and then stop. I also make common sense choices about what I am eating. (However I do not do sugar free, fat free etc. YUCK)

About all I watch is Protein. If I'm losing 2-3 lbs a week, I'm good.

I just started using myfitnesspal.com and their suggestion of calories was 1370 a day (I put in my current weight, my goal weight and that I wanted to lose 2 lbs a week!) it's been working great so far!

      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.
