I am confused on how much to eat at one time. If i am only suppose to eat 1/2 cup of food how do you get meat and veggies in at once? A couple bites of meat isn't going to get the Protein needed. Any suggestions? (I'm only about one month out)

Well I have been pondering this too. The good thing is one ounce of chicken (about 2 tablespoons) is 7 grams of Protein so it adds up. I'm thinking we will be on shakes for a while. I've had conversations with my nut and surgeon and they agreed. It's a slow process of transitioning between the shakes to the real food.< /p>

I'm on week 3 and I've been measuring everything to 1/4 of a cup. Right now we are staying for super small portions but eventually we will return when we will eat a piece of meat and veggies. Like dinner off of a small plate. A Half sandwich with some vegetables. Try going to the website the world according to eggface. She she's a lot of meals and portion sizes

I am 7 weeks out from RNY surgery. I still measure and can handle about a 1/2 cup of food at a meal. It seems to take a few minutes after is stop to get that full sensation.If i eat more im uncomfortable.

I still rely on the Protein Shakes 2 times a day but I put it in my early morning coffee and in V8 diet later morning . So this automatically gets me 40 grams. If I am less than 60 at the end of the day a do another shake to push me to >60 gms as an evening snack. I dont see this routine changing anytime soon.

7 weeks and no Hair loss and Im working full time.

My plan calls for 2oz Protein and 1 oz "fiber food " (usually vegies or fruit) for each meal and 2 glasses of milk per day. This is about 58g protein. My nut says to aim for 60g of protein a day. I will sometimes replace a meal with a shake or add some Protein Powder to my food.

I'm 7 weeks out as well and I do shakes 2x a day because its so hard for me to get the Protein in throughout the day otherwise. Keep up the good work. How is your progress so far?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
