I'm 10 weeks out. I aim for:

100 - 120 grams Protein

As few carbs as possible

Enough fat to get my daily consumption up to 900 - 1000 calories.

Almost 9 weeks, 5' 4 1/2", my nut has me shoot for 80 g Protein, 60 g cabs ( no more than 20 at one time), 30 g fat. This comes to around 800 calories.

I agree CowgirlJane^^^^ Just try to get in as much fluids and Protein as possible. You'll get to add more as you go it'll all fall into place I promise!!! I at 7 wks get 80-90 g protein about 700-800 cals. Good luck lady:)

2 weeks out from surgery one thing I have become very aware of is what is in food especially Protein ; finding milk that has 2x the protein, Greek yogurt, off the shelf shakes. It has become a detective game but learning a lot from it. My colleagues at work want me to teach then what I learn about foods when I return to work. This has given me a goal to learn what I can and have it be a part of my life from now on!

      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.
