Premier Protein shake for breakfast (recently returned to these a few days a week because my Protein was low and this is an easy fix), a few oz. of roasted chicken from dinner and a half a zucchini cake for lunch. I have almonds at my desk for a snack, and Quest bar in my desk drawer to eat on the bus before a Hardbodies class this evening.

Zucchini cake is made with grated zucchini, ricotta cheese, egg, garlic, onion powder and a little flour to bind it all together. I fried them just enough to sear then baked them in the oven. A little "bad" with the frying but very tasty!

Is 48 greens of Protein enough for a 12 hour shift? I worked 11 hours today (hadn't planned on it) and was scared when I only got in 54g of Protein.< /p>

Because it was an 11-11 shift, I woke up at a "normal" 4am (lol). So I ate before work as well. This is just what I packed.

I am having the hardest time getting over 60gms of Protein a day. If I had it my way I'll be in the 80-100gms a day. How are u guys able to get all your protein?

I'm a year out and I still use protein supplements most days. At first my doc wanted me off shakes/bars, but when he realized how active I am & my goals, he told me to keep them.

Also, the original plan was to eat 3 times per day, one snack if needed-- I can only eat MAX 4 oz at a time, so that would've been impossible. And also, my PCP encouraged me to eat more often d/t low blood sugar. So I now eat 5-6 times a day, about 2-4oz at a time. It keeps my blood sugar pretty level at a comfortable 80, so I don't worry so much when I workout. So my norm is 80-100 grams of protein per day.

      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.
