Why do u feel guilty? U didn't do anything wrong that is not a lot of food

I just felt like it was a lot..I guess from eating absolutely nothing to finally being able to eat...it just seemed like a lot....

I'll start to pre measure my food for the day...I just don't want to fail at this!

Doc wants me to avoid shakes, but there's no way I could get 60 g of Protein without... any ideas?

I am right there with you. I am almost 3 months out and I still try to get at least 1 shake in a day.

I found shakes that pre op i could drink became un drinkable post op too! I changed to a matrix ( by syntax i believe) and it was SO much better. I dont live in the states but i know if you do, you can order sample packs and try alot of different flavours until you find one good for you without having to buy a huge tub!!

Also using 1% milk with Water also made the shake drinkable

They sell those at our Sheetz gas station only place I have seen them. I have been wanting to try the banana but they are always out of that flavor when I go there

Where do you get those?

I purchase mine through a specialty Vitamin store in town. I get them by the case. You can also order various places online. The banana and chocolate are both great!

Just remember, if your full, you do NOT have to finish it all. We are so used to needing to finish what's on our plates. Do measure but its okay not to finish. It's a new thing to get used to. Good luck.

      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.
