I just received a call from my doc and you are right no bacon or red meat, I don't know how I skip that part. I will have to ask about the 900 cal. a day she might give me that allowance to get the 60-80gms of Protein in.

Am so glad you spoke with your doc. See what they say about the calorie intake. This way I will also know how much should be the intake. But yes the protein amount is correct which my doc also said to stay in that range. I love this forum...we learn so much from each other and support each other and want to see each other succeed.

Before surgery I bought a ton of the GNC lean 25 Protein Shake and I still have so much that I just use that brand. I bought 6 boxes cause it was buy and get second at 50% off. And then I also bought ready made ones that I can take with me to work. So I am still using them. I bought every flavor except banana. vanilla, Cookies and cream, chocolate, strawberry and mixed berry is excellent. I also got orange which is ok but not my favorite. Today I used the orange with fat free Greek vanilla yogurt to make a shake and it was good. Try out the GNC Lean 25 and you can try them in small packets or ready made ones in their fridge to see if you like them and then buy bigger ones. Let me know how it goes.

I'm 9 weeks out and I consume around 700 calories in a day on average. sometimes less but it really depends on what i'm eating. I get my Protein from skim milk,greek yogurt,cottage cheese and fish mostly. I also eat string cheese on occasion as well. refried Beans are a great source of Protein I have found out and they fill you up. When I really need to get my protein in I will drink a Premier Protein shake as it has 30grams per container.

      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.
