Breakfast: 1 to 1.5 eggs scramble with a sprinkle of cheese, and either a piece of turkey bacon or 2 lil smokey turkey sausages.

Snack: Atkins advantage bar or 1-2oz cheese or Quest bar or sf choc Jello mixed with 1/2 scoop of unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder.

lunch: 2-4 oz of sliced turkey meat, cauliflower and some hummus

post workout: Protein shake. just Protein Shake mixed with Water.

dinner: 4 oz of Protein, usually ground turkey/chicken/bison, or fish/tilapia/orange roughy. with veggies

i make sure every meal i have protein, and eat that first before i touch anything else. if i'm full off the protein portion, i'm fine with that.

I never have a problem, since I'm a natural carnivore. meat is my favorite food anyway. That and cheese.

I'm right there with you! Which is why low-carb diets were always my go-to for weight loss. haha

I guess I just need to be more diligent about adding Protein supplements of some kind into my diet. I got my goal yesterday but I also had 2 Protein Shakes (I was on liquids from a fill on Wednesday). Thankfully, my fitness pal tracks protein now so that should be helpful for me :)

This may be unpopular, but I believe Americans are overly-obsessed with Protein. My goal is to eat Protein first, then the veggies, etc., but I don't have a goal for getting a specific number of grams in.....

Having just said that, I do jack up the protein in my Greek yogurt by adding a tablespoon of collagen, which I'm taking for arthritis. This adds 6 grams to the Greek yogurt for a total of 18. It is tasteless but thickens it up a little more, then I add a few nuts and tablespoon or so of gluten-free Cereal of some kind. This makes the yogurt not be a slider for me and I enjoy all that texture, the chewing slow, etc. so the message for satiety passes between the esophagus and brain.

      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.
