Has everyone been keeping a food journal? I ha ve been calculating my Protein but not writing it down. I see the nutritionist/ dietician tomorrow and I'm afraid I will be hearing about it.i know a lot of people use my fitness pal but I am technically challenged. I did try it for a few days though: ). Anyone use a system that works?

I use MyFitnessPal and set it to track calories protein, carbs, fat, and sodium. Other than that you could keep or write in a daily journal.

Is it possible to get too much Protein? I drink two Premier Protein drinks a day (each has 30g). Plus I usually get an additional 10-15g from my meals. I had surgery 12/19 and have only lost 10lbs. I get at least 40-60 oz of fluids a day. Any suggestions or comments?

Thanks,

E

Proteins save your muscle. I've been getting at least 70-80. Plus I'm working out now so I should have more.

Good question posed by someone else: can we get too much Protein.< /p>

Oops just noticed time, probably too late :-( I'll also see a nutritionist today so I'll ask.

Hey I had a pretty good question too that's always bothered me haha ;)

Right?!? That's one if those things that make absolutely NO sense. Even if they figure 2 people don't use Buns with their dogs, you can still make a sandwich with them! Geez!! Lol.

I did get the blood thinner shot on my stomach. But I didn't start brusing till 2 days after surgery. It is turning green now in areas just wonder why it's on the part of my stomach that didn't get touched. My insicions are barely bruised

I didn't bruise until afterwards either. Mine turned green then yellowish and now is mostly faded. It's been four weeks since yesterday.

For anyone who has the New Whey Liquid Protein Shots, I think they are kinda gross and hard to drink because they are thick... however, I used one to make Jello and can't taste it! I used blue raspberry in a sugar free raspberry jello... 46 grams of Protein to snack on! Just an idea so you dont have to gag them down or throw them out...

      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.
