are you on full liquid?

I just want to share what I am using instead of rtd shakes.

Ok here is my math. I drank Atkins advantage shakes which is 160 cal /15g Protein per 11 oz. and after surgery I cannot handle to drink 4 of them a day. ( btw 4*160 = 640cal only on shakes )

so as soon as I can have greek yogurt. I start doing lassi. and I get my 60g protein per day in jus t2 cup which I can handle during the day without a problem.

I did the calculation:

1cup of yogurt 0%fat - 140 cal - 24g protein

1 scoop Protein Powder I use cookes and cream(Oh Yeah! Total Protein System) 210 cal 32g of protein 6g fat less then 2g sugar

1 cup of skim milk 90cal - 8g protein

So if I am doing it with skim milk I got 1 serving size 1 cup - 220 cal - 32 g protein and 3 g fat

If I am doing it with Water it woudl be 1 service size 1 cup - 175 cal - 28g protein 3g fat

I usually drink by 1/2 cup and these 2 cups are good for me for the whole day. and I know that I have all my protein intake.

and instead of 640 cal on atkins shakes I got only 440cal.

Hello fellow September losers :)

It's been one week today. A small bump in the road (dehydrated) but weighed in today and I'm down 14 pounds since surgery day? Is this for real? Still on Clear Liquids with a Protein Shake daily.

How are my sister September 12-ers doing?

      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.
