If I don't eat enough Protein I drink a Protein juice drink. I like the flavor and it is from Syntrax....nector. They have some cool flavors. I also have protein meals from Blissfull Wellness. I like their hot chocolate. They range from 15 to 30 g of protein per serving.

I have just found out that I am reactive Hypoglycemic so now instead of eating 4 times a day I have to try to eat 3 meals and 3 Snacks. I had no idea that I could get that but they said they did not want to tell me because why add another thing onto what I have already have..But like me I got it so they say.LOL

I drink 64 oz of Water a day. Ii love Water and when it gets closer to summer I will drink more....I can't handle boiled eggs. They are too dense for me so I eat scrambled. Weird to be able to eat it one way but not another.

I try very hard to make food interesting and different as much as possible. I eat so many different kinds of things now. Except. Beef it hates me. Pork does not care for me either. But I eat a lot of Beans and legumes, peas, nuts and seeds like squirrels do..lol

If I am shopping it takes me forever to buy food because I always look for salt content. Calories and amount of protein. Their are a lot of tasty recipes on Pinterest for salads and healthy meals that look and taste great.

I never count calories and I eat very slow....I sometimes can eat more then I need and other times I can't eat much. But I put a plate together. Protein, veggies and carb and I always eat the protein first. Then the veggies and last but not least the carbs.

I am a true believer that we need everything in our diets as we live in the real world. But in moderation and balance.....

Hope this is what you were looking for.....:)

Syntrax you can buy at Amazon and Blissful Wellness

Medical Weight Loss Centers. Dr. Oz

You can look them up on line. Don't get the beef or chicken Soups..Unless you are really wanting a jolt. They are horrible. But you can get Snacks and some Soups. drinks and Cookies... All not too bad. I stick with the Fruit Drinks and have tried some of their Snacks. Me no likey.

You can get some really good crackers and chips at a health food store and sip hummus or cheese with them. Look at the back and follow the serving sizes. I will do that in a pinch. I also keep a Smart For Life bar in my car just in case I get stuck out and can't get a meal.

I eat a lot of fish but tuna hates me....I think I am addicted to fish! So many different kinds and so many ways to make it. Same with chicken..

Anyway..There you have some of it in a nut shell..... K

Oh and I am a person who believes that we all need to watch our electrolytes even as far out as I am so I drink 1/2 bottle of G2 Gatorade every day....I can feel a difference when I don't. Only 10 calories in a 1/2 bottle but lots of electrolyte boosters...

Throw whatever offensive remarks you can at me. What offends one may not offend another. I don't cry "foul". I respond in kind. If I replaced Whine with Bored I bet someone would find that offensive. Actually there is a Rant about being bored with the lack of Originality on this site. I'm going to guess that popular author didn't meet with any offended posters. Better choose my words more careful next time.

Are you kidding me?! I received a good few whinge-fests in response to my threads.I always do. Makes life more interesting.

I don't throw my toys out of the pram when they come. I deal with it :D

      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.
