I generally stay under 5% fat per serving less than 3G of sugar and keep calories under 1000 a day. I'm more around 500-600 a day

Should of said less than 10 grams of sugar per serving not 3 grams

My doc does not have us track those items. He said keep things lean and clean and we will be ok!

My nut says use your hands as reminders no more then 5 grams of fat and max 10 grams of sugar so 1 hand = FAT and both hands = SUGAR ...CALORIES I DON'T HAVE A BALL PARK YET but you are so right every doctor and but have different standards......

I think the reason for not counting calories right now is because we do not absorb them like we did. When we get further out I think it corrects itself. That is why they call it the honeymoon period

      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.
