Protein Shake Question

[scaredoftheunknown 95]

I am suppose to replace a meal with a Protein Shake. I've started drinking it but I've noticed I am hungrier than usual. Has anyone gone thru this?

If you are talking about a pre op diet, then I soo did. I think mine was more that I felt like since I was "dieting" my mind faught me and told me I was more hungry. It was so annoying!

Same here, I had the same for my preop diet. I supplemented with vegetables, no corn, potatoes, or peas though. That is what my nutritionalist told me. Good luck, I know the waiting can be a lot to bear.

Yes it's a preop diet.

I add half a banana. But don't eat anything else with it. I have been drinking it for Breakfast but after 2 hours I'm hungry. I will eat a snack but the hunger is bad. Almost like I haven't eaten anything. I try not to eat anything else with it because I'm on a 1000 calorie a day meal plan.

Yes the waiting is the hardest part. The worst thing is that u dint even have a surgery date.

Can you add a Fiber supplement? That always seems to make me feel fuller. I have capsule fiber and powder. Hope you find a solution! I hate feeling hungry- I think I speak for most. :-)

Any recommendations on what kind of fiber to add? Benefiber? Thanks.

I meant to say that I don't even have a surgery date yet...
