Can't Get All My Protein In



Recommended Posts

My surgeon said I need to have no less than 80 grams of Protein per day.

Problem is I'm rarely home because of work and school so I just can't seem to get the 80 grams in. There's just not enough time in the day!!!

I drink a 30g Protein shake every morning. I was taking nuts to school with me but my surgeon said they're too fatty and to stop :/ I'd really prefer to not have to bring a cooler with me everywhere I go.

Can't have more than 6g of carbs or 6g of sugar in one sitting - Protein bars are packed full of carbs and sugar

Adkins has some that fall in that category. They have meal ones,snack ones and indulgent ones. I like the one that's like a PayDay. It has 16 carbs but only 3 net carbs.

I was using those baby bel lights to supplement my protein... my surgeon wants me to do another shake... I too do one in the morning... and boy do I hate it. He said the try the Unjury chicken noodle soup..so that's gonna be my next purchase. I have seen pretty good reviews.

I'm a little over six weeks. I just make sure it's small bites and I chew, chew, chew!

      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?

      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.
