how is there enough time in the day to get all these fluids in?



Recommended Posts

I just don't see how there is enough time in the day to get in the 48-64oz of Water along with another 100g of Protein. How on earth do you do it? Can I count my Liquid Protein into my other liquids?

My surgeon and nutritionist say I can count it towards liquids. Again every surgeon is different though.

Well that's a relief! I put off taking a nap because I needed to be awake to drink more lol. So that means I'm a lot closer to my liquid goals than I thought. YAY!

My dr said you may get 60 grams of Protein but your not actually absorbing 60...I'm trying to get to 80....I have added salted peanuts to my day and make sure that each time u do eat , I get at least 20 grams

Try egg whites as a way to help you get your goal in. You just add it to your drink and you never know that it's in there. I add mine to my Powerade and turn a 0g drink into about 50g Protein Drink. Each pump is 3.3g of Protein. So you can add as little and as much as you want. You don't taste. Make sure it is double pasteurized egg white and not what you get at the grocery store. Also when you add it to your drink stir your drink don't shake.< /p>

Yup, 100g a day. Got it in the packet info they gave me. So far I am making it to about 60-70. But, up until yesterday I thought I had to count liquids and Protein separately. Should be fine now that I understand better. Thanks all!

      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.
