I was told to get in a minimum of 60g of Protein a day. However, I don't do the whole low carb thing, so I have no problem getting in all my veggies too.

I also take a Multivitamin daily. I think it's really important especially when eating such limited calories.

My dr does not have me monitoring as long as I get 3 oz of Protein and veg/fruit when I eat. He only wants me eating when hungry and no Liquid Protein any more. That means 2 meals a day these days. Each dr/nut has different recommendations so check with yours.

this is what i do and it works for me

i try to eat 3-4oz of Protein each meal with my veggies (fruit for a snack)

i do drink a Protein Shake per day to help.

i do this for my Breakfast as i am too tight to eat. (with my dr's okay).

i also take Vitamins to help per my dr and nutritionist instructions.

      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.
