I'm 4 1/2 weeks out and I am getting about 40 to 60 g of Protein and about 400 to 600 calories a day. I am a bit worried though that I am eating too much :-/

I'm not really sure... but as for Water, it's been really hard. I've been getting about 30oz a day :-/

I think that you can't really eat too much as long as its healthy. Sounds like your doing good to me. As long as you are losing you are good to go????

Right now, I'm basically having Protein Shakes, Protein Soup supplements (about 12grams to 15 of protein), Popsicles, Water, crystal light, laughing cow cheese (I'm obsessed), Protein Shots, and Greek yogurt.

These are my usuals. However, I have been eating a few things that are not necessarily on my diet, shame on me, I know. But I have been obsessing with sun chips lately so every once in a while (more like 3 times last week), I had about 10 chips in a day. I also had one bite of sushi (didn't go well), and I also had a bite of pizza, and a bite of Pasta (also didnt go well, and I learned my lesson!).

But ignore everything I just said lol. Just stick to my first paragraph lol.

      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.
