Thank you all for the good wishes. Broke down and went to doctor today. No infection but multiple fractures in my thumb. Doctor said a Lab is easily capable of generating force with their jaws exceeding 1000 lbs per square inch - much more than needed to break bones. So they put a splint on my thumb and an incredibly obnoxious bandage. Appointment with orthopoedic surgeon on Monday. I doubt surgery will be needed but can't hurt to get his opinion. Thank you all again. Typing definitely sucks right now but I'll be reading on the sidelines!!

I know I am not eating right. I am 6 weeks out on tuesday and I have no interst in eating. I try to get all my fluids in but it's hard for me. Even when I think I am hungry I know I only eat maybe 500 calories per day. Not enough to lose the weight like I need to. I dont have any problems with pain or anything like that, just turned off by food

Any suggestions on how to eat better?

OUCH DL...hope you feel better soon.

REDSON - Divide it all. If 14 ounces is 25 grams of protein...then half 7 ounces would be 12.5 grams. 3.5 ounces would be 6.25 grams etc. :)

Baltomomma - It's my understanding the goal isn't so much calories but, Protein. Have you tracked your protein intake? Checked with your surgeon/bariatric center to see how much you should be taking in at this point in your weightloss journey? Good Luck!

In the beginning it was a real challenge and about the only way I could do it was with two shakes a day. But as time went on I discovered more and more high Protein foods and along with the morning protein shake' date=' it's pretty easy now. There are still days where I fall short and have to supplement with the Protein Bars but that's OK - I love the protein bars![/quote']

If you have a list, I was wondering if you can send to me also.

Good afternoon guys! For those of you who were interested in my list of Protein foods - I prepared a simple Excel spreadsheet with 51 foods along with calories' date=' serving size and protein per serving. Unfortunately, when I tried to post it, all of the formatting was lost and it would have been a nightmare to make much sense out of it. I also tried to attach the file to the post but got an error message indicating that I'm not allowed to attach that type of file. If anyone has any ideas on how I can add this to the forum I'd be grateful for any advice. As an alternative for anyone interested, if you're comfortable with sending me your email address in a PM, I'd be glad to email you the file. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry - I tried.[/quote']

      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.
