I'm still not getting in enough Protein. After six weeks post op you would think I would get it by now but NO. I didn't mind the Protein Shakes at the beginning but now I can't stand them. I am only getting in 30 to 40 grams a day. I have the feeling that is why I am only loosing 3lbs a week. Just don't feel like eating and nothing really tastes that outstanding. The thought of eating every 3 to 4 hours is so not working for me. Getting in the fluids is not bad except I forget sometimes. Thanks for letting me vent !

Its tough the first 3-4 weeks, then you find what works best for you and your taste. I am almost a year out and I am still trying different things but my main goal is to get that Protein in no matter what. After time you will find what works best for you.

I know how you feel. I can only get in about 20-30g of Protein and 4c of Water a day. I'm feel so weak and low. And to top it off, I just found out that I'm pregnant. I need help badly.

According to MyFitnessPal I got 75g of Protein today. Only one Protein Drink, the rest in foods. It's all about finding foods with Protein and combining them in ways that taste good.

Thanks everyone,the advice really helped. I went and got several different Protein bars to try. Most have at least 15g of protien and under 4 g of sugar. I really want to speed up my weight loss to 5lbs a week instead of 3.

Congratulations to Jerz on the pregnancy!

      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.
