enough protein and water?



Recommended Posts

How the hell are we supposed to get in enough Protein and liquids in a day? I am lucky to get 2.5 oz of food in per sitting. And that makes me feel stuffed for hours. I struggle with getting in Water. Not because I don't want it, but because I feel so full. I am five weeks out (April 25th)

I am trying to cut down on shakes but my protein intake has decreased substantially.

Hi Josh first off Congrats 2 you, and don't feel alone i am almost 9 months out and still can't finish one Protein shake a day the first few months were bad i couldn't stand the smell of the shakes i didn't start drinking them again untill almost 5 months out once i was cleared for solid foods at week 7 i then got my protein from meats, egg, cheese, yogurt etc and Water did not taste the same after surgery i just didn't want it and could drink very little of it, but hang in there it gets better i promise

      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.
