I have found a new love in fish, tilapia and mahi mahi yummm!! Tilapia can be broiled or baked and has 22 grams of Protein in a 3 oz portion! mahi mahi has 25 for a 3 oz portion! and no carbs to boot!! I used to hate fish but since surgery I can't seem to get enough of it =) YUM! Broiling it is my favorite though =)

I have problems with Protein shakes too, YUCK! Something about the texture and aftertaste ... BLAH! I know I have to have the Protein Shakes for now until I can get in enough meals to cover it all so I cheat LOL I go to smoothie king and get the gladiator strawberry powder with a few strawberries added in a 20oz smoothie and it is amazing! 45 grams of Protein and 3 carbs! Takes me about 2 hours to get all 20 oz in but it solves my protein problem so it is worth it!!

Have you Googled "VSG diet plan" or similar words? Many surgeons post their diet plans and offer a variety of suggestions.

As for the suggestions for soft fish on previous post - you can go to a local Trader Joes for all of these options.

I like to wrap deli sliced ham in provolone cheese for a snack in the morning between my Protein Shake, and lunch. Two wraps is about 20 grams.

I ordered some NOW whey flavorless Protein powder. It made everything I mixed it with smell like my old hamster cage I had when I was a kid.

HAHAHA! And this is precisely why I have not ordered any! lol

My go-to food to up my Protein is sashimi. tuna or salmon. 6 - 9 gm of Protein per ounce, depending on the cut.

I also rely on hard or semihard cheeses. Gruyere and Irish cheddar are my current favs. :)

Visit an online store that specializes in WLS. I like www.bariatricchoice.com. You can get a variety of products that are high in Protein. I really like the Fruit Drinks.< /p>

i live of of tilipia, egg whites, and greek yogurt.

You can get individually frozen 4 oz filets of tilipia at Walmart. You can bake them or george foreman them, and I have every kind of of Mrs. Dash available to change up the flavor.

Egg whites-I use liquid egg whites. 9 tblsp is 15 g of Protein. I add a little salsa, cheese, spinach, or even hot sauce to change up the taste.

I hate greek yogurt too, but i got some sugar free Syrup to add to it and it really improved the taste.

I also bought one of those little plastic Popsicle maker containers and added my Protein Drink to it to make Protein popsicles. :)

      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.
