Maybe I need to eat more protein!

I am new to this forum, but read all the posts and I'm still nervous about the surgery. I have my surgery date which is February 19. Started my liquid diet today and am trying not to think about how hungry I am.


I'm the 19th as well! I have to say, I'm surprisingly not hungry. Or at least barely. But I have had about 80g of Protein and tons of Water and Powerade zero. And some fat free Soup.< /div>

Try getting more! I'm still not really hungry halfway through day 2. It's amazing. And my lovely monthly visitor came last night. Thought for sure that would make me want to eat everything in my house. Haha.

I'm agreeing with SJ, it's all about the Protein. First day I was hungry but got about 80-90 grams protein, I had a head game/fight going on with an apple fritter, but I didn't cave. I knew it was Bc it's my favorite pastry. Not Bc I was actually hungry. Yesterday and today I feel fine as far as hunger goes. Headache the first 2 days but feeling good today.

How are you getting your protein? Is it just Protein Shakes?

Me too...how are you coping it? I am a full time student so Im trying to get a head in school work but find myself here reading to get ready lol....hiws your preop diet?

Preop diet sucks! First few days were rough! I got lucky because they put me on antibiotics during preop so they added more foods I could eat. I'm a teacher so I'm trying to do as much work now as I can and leave lesson plans for when I'm gone. How are you doing?

      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.
