eat more lean Protein (and or drink a shake per day to help up the quota) which is what i do in the a.m.'s as i am not hungry and too tight to eat in the mornings...

go the web, look up high Protein foods and choose what you like. that is what i did (and my nutritionist gave me a list of items also).

hope this helps.

I still can't make my quota when it comes to Protein, honestly my tracker indicates I am getting in just about 38 grams of Protein on good days. I look back on how I dealt with protein pretty much all my life and honestly, I was barely getting in 25 grams a day. Since I track what I eat I am more aware and strive harder to eat more protein, while its still a task...

BTW, I can't do Protein shakes since sugery because of my continuous acid reflux issues that seems to be triggered by the protein powders. So, I soley depend on regular food for all my protein intake at this point.

Isopure zero carb beverage it's not a shake it's like crystal light. I get it at GNC but you can get it on Amazon too. It has 40 gms whey isolate Protein. Saves me.

I agree with skyvic, I've used the Isopure ready to drink bottles since day 1. They have variety of favors. I use them to supplement during the day at work or after a good workout.

      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.
