how in the world do you get 100 g of Protein in, in a day's time? I'm not getting enough and am losing hair and nails so my dr upped my Protein by eating Protein Bar not shake but I certainly do not know how you eat that much, please share...I'm only 1 yr out.

my dietitian said there is approximately 7 g of protein for every once you eat. I have the 2 scoops of Protein powder to make sure I get in my protein. The brand I use is about 52 g for the 2 scoops. I was having a different protein bar and then she said to switch to the Cliff ones.

I just looked at the boxes. They are Cliff Builder's 20g Protein bar. I buy chocolate, chocolate peanut better and chocolate mint. They all taste good. I buy them at Target for $7.84 for I think 6 in a box. I just ripped the top off to see what. I am very fussy with what i eat and I found these 3 flavors good. I have seen some flavors at Walmart, also for about the same price.

I will have to look at Walmart for the chocolate Peanut Butter, I think I could handle those, sounds good!!! thanks a bunch. I don't have a Target close by well its 30 mins away but I think my Walmart will carry them.

Ok I just re-read the thread and compliled a list of the rules everyone came up with ... I think im gonna post this on the wall of my cube at work.

  1. eat 1000 cals a day or under (1 cup of food per meal)
  2. get at least 60-80g or protein
  3. only have 2 carb servings per day (only with 2 meals) – GOOD CARBS only (not bread, Pasta, etc)
  4. drink 64 oz of Water a day
  5. eat Protein FIRST
  6. no alcohol
  7. MEASURE your food – don’t eyeball it

      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.
