I have to agree! I think it is normal for us! My go to meal or snack is thick carved turkey deli meat. I love it :)

This aspect of this is a struggle for me. I have, and have always had, days where meat sounds gross. In the past I'd have days where I ate nothing but carbs. I'm also not a cheese lover. I do like meat & I do eat it every day, but some days I just don't want to. **sigh**

It sure does!!! I'm 7 months out and I rarely eat anything other than meat and cheese. I lived in Brooklyn, NY for a few months and so many people I met there were vegans... it was always amusing eating out with them. I ate the complete opposite diet! But, it works for me. And it is sooo worth it!!

On days where I really just don't feel like eating meats or I want a high carb day I just make sure to get in an extra shake or two to make sure I hit my Protein goals.

I suppose you could also try adding in tofu or nuts to your diet, but neither are particularly high sources of Protein.< /p>

I get tired of meat too but when I want a quick snack with Protein, I eat beef Jerky. One ounce has 15g protein.

Lentils and Beans are also great Protein sources for when you don't want meat, so it tuffu and other things.

      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.
