Thanks' date=' great ideas, I really need to do something since I need at least 70-80g a day right now. Second shake would do it as much as that doesn't sound fun. I could try the powder on some things but not sure if I would like it on my shaved turkey out chicken. :)[/quote']

My husband eats Peanut Butter and jelly sandwiches everyday for lunch (multi grain bread, natural Peanut Butter, and sugar free preserves). He puts a scoop of vanilla Protein between the peanut butter and preserves. The powder gets absorbed into the peanut butter and jelly and the little bit of vanilla flavor adds to the taste.

You could put a little sprinkle of unflavored Protein on your turkey or chicken. Or mix it into some mustard before adding it to the bread. You don't need the WHOLE scoop, just a little. Add a little chocolate Protein Powder to choc pudding, add vanilla flavor to your yogurt. So many options... :-)

I'm learning a lot here! However' date=' my NUT requires a log written on paper. I use http://www.myfitnesspal.com now, but don't know how to "carry" that in to my NUT so she can keep Her log. Any ideas?

I use sparkpeople.com n my nutr. Prints it out, so she should be able to print urs out on myfitnesspal also.

Great, great ideas everyone, thank you! I have decided to add a good Protein snack/meal between lunch and dinner and she how that goes. Good part is that I'm still losing good and down 31lbs in 3.5 weeks. I was away visiting family this weekend and struggled a bit to get in enough protein, but I made it through. This is such a learning experience.

      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.
