TOFU! so yum if you cook it right. try the silky tofu in a Soup. My fav tofu dish I can't have anymore... deepfried tofu covered with sweet chilli sauce, pineapple and cucumber... nom nom nom. But don't do that.

and don't forget the humble egg. and fiiiiiiiiish

I know I do not get enough Protein in my food, and since surgery I am not a big meat eater anymore. I just drink my Protein Shake @ 50 grams of protein per shake. I usually have a yogurt and cottage cheese daily so I get about 80 grams daily.

Weird how every surgeon is different.. Mine wants me to drink one Protein Drink a day.. 2 if I can.. And do that forever! I still get a good bit of protein from eating

Sorry kristy, I never saw this- silky tofu is really soft cream like tofu. You can use it like cream. Some people add it to pudding, Soups for a creamy base or some Desserts. It helps boost your Protein and is flavorless.

My surgeon said the same thing. I try to get as much as I can in, then if it isn't enough come night time I have half of a Protein Bar.

Dairy products and cheese are good sources of protein, Beans, soy products. I'm really tired of meat also.

      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.
