I'm lucky to reach Protein and not enough Water intake.

I've been try a 4oz Greek yogurt for Breakfast, then Soup or some 1/2 wrap and finally chicken for dinner.< /p>

I'm not hungry or thirsty.... Looking for help.

For Protein I'm going to keep the unflavored protein on hand in the hopes that I can at least boost the protein in yogurt or Soup if needed.

I bought some hydrolized Protein that goes in Water and turns into more of a juice. Three scoops has 60 grams of protein. You're getting your water and protein all in one

On phone. Lots of typos.

I guess I'm fortunate in that I can eat almost anything. I focus mostly on meet and cheese, cheese and meat. Then eggs or eggbeaters. Today I might try cottage cheese again, but I find it quite boring.

Here is what I ate yesterday. Portions are very small. I don't eat bread or Pasta becaise 1) not a gold source of Protein, 2) it just seems like a filler food to me and 3) it makes me crave more carbs and I don't need that. Not yet anyway.

My goal is

600-800 calories

60+oz fluids

64g + protein

Less than 60 carbs.

That's not to say that Ieet those goals but that's my plan. I still don't get 64oz fluids and I don't think I've made the protein very often. I don't love Protein Drinks, I'd rather chew my calories and my protein, so I'm trying to get in a lot of that.

I know it's hard and I am certainly not perfect when it comes to getting my Protein and Water levels met every single day, BUT it is so important!

I had a couple of days last week where I barely hit a few cups of water and I was dizzy and lightheaded the entire time. Push those fluids! I know it sucks to feel like all you do all day is drink but you've got to try.

I start my mornings with a 30g Protein Shake and do my best to get at least 60g total. I have to say, more is better, though. :)

      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.
