well its not hard if you consider foqr example one premade Protein Shake usually is about 160 calories. if you use powder they are usually 110 plus 90 calories if using skim milk. and that's 8 ounces and if you drink 2 a day that's 400 calories right there

I live on MFP I can't believe how fast the calories add up. You'll get there. Unfortunately I am there now. Not sure if it is good or bad.

You're doing great, Worm. And yes, MFP is an eye opening to what we do/should do. Start using it & it will definitely help.

I swear by mfp also. Being 9 months out a lot of times it will dictate how much of something I'm gonna eat. Complex carbs are loaded with calories so it helps me to have them in moderation

      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.
