Does anyone have the guidelines for daily nutrition. I was giving the servings from my doctor, but i would like that actual measurements

eg: x grams of Protein

x grams of sugar

x grams of carbs

x grams of fat

my doc said 50-60 grams of Protein and 30 grams of Fiber. Nothing else was specified in grams, just serving size etc.

I think I was told Protein grams should equal half of your ideal weight. So if ideal weight is 120, you need 60 grams a day. If I eat my protein first, at least 20gms at each of three meals, I dont have room to get myself in trouble with sugar ,carbs etc. Protein is the only think I (sort of) count.

So has everyone been keeping up with their Protein intake? I fell way off. I'm getting back on track now.

I was told 64/64 rule 64g of Protein and 64oz of liquid.

I don't regret any decision in my life because at the end I will make it work

Well good for you. This process isn't an easy one, so no one should ever regret the surgery. But I have had my issues with the decisions that I have made since being banded. I am in a much better place now though.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
