I eat meat' date=' poultry, fish, nuts, Peanut Butter, etc. Pretty much all the "normal" Protein stuff.

When you say you can only eat a little bit, how much can/do you eat?[/quote']

If I bake a chicken breast with BBQ Sauce on it I might eat half of it but I can't eat any veggies or anything else. I can eat like a small green salad and a chicken breast strip and I'm full. I try to eat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese through out the day but I get bored of that.

I seen my dr last week and he said everything was good and I'm on track. It's been a year and a half and I've lost 50 lbs. He said that I should only b eating about 4 oz at one time. That's not enough to get good Protein in. I'm just worried my hair has gotten really thin.

I think the best place to start is to figure out how much protein you need a day. Your profile is blank so I have no idea what you currently weigh, but to figure out your daily protein requirement you take your weight x .3. For instance, I currently weigh 189 pounds so I need a minimum of 57g of protein a day.

How much protein are you currently consuming daily?

      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.
