Getting in 80-90g of Protein a day seems impossible right now.

How many weeks post op are you?

I'm just 4 days

At 4 days post op is hard if not impossible for some to get 80g of Protein. Focus on liquids...try adding Protein Powder to warm liquids like broth, bullion cubes, diet hot chocolate this is my faborite. Add protein to diet juice if you want. Premier Protein ready made shakes are excellent in the beginning stages and each shake has 30g of protein so you can do 3 a day and get 90g. Protein Shakes count as part of your total daily fluids. I drank 1 oz every 15 min of liquids at your stage. By end of day you will have all required liquids and protein.

Good question. What about popcorn or chips? When are you able to eat that? I'm craving buttered toast right now. It's driving me insane.

I know my NUT told me I ccould have some Triskets crackers. At this stage I could only eat one. I shared my crackers with my youngings.

      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.
