DIDN'T GET PROTEIN REQUIRMNETS TODAY..



Recommended Posts

I was more thirsty then hungry today. I did get some Protein but not near my goal..it's the first since I've been postop. Not goin to worry about it. I'm wanting food! Had a few small things today. I chkd in myfitness pal..I have had less then 600 cal today. Which I'm pretty sure that's still the most I've had yet. I made some infused Water been drinking it the past 3 days..nbetween. maybe that's keeping my appetite down tday. I baked a pear while ago..sprinkled some cinnamon a touch of butter an drizzled some honey over it. I've managed to eat half of a half..the other is going back in fridge...I seen some others this wk not having much of a appetite how's that going?? Otherwise I feel really good. Yea I get fatigue if I do a lot still pace myself...but that's been away of life for me for 10 yrs or so...hoping when weight gets off that will improve not holding my breath..:)

It is vitally important that you get as much Protein in as you can. It's a daunting task but without enough in your body you will have a hard time staying hydrated, will be at risk for blood clots, and you won't heal as fast. If you don't like the Protein drinks there are other things out there. Protein needs to be your focus at this point. If you are on solid or even soft foods, cheese and yogurt are your friends. Chew well of course whatever you decide to eat. fruit should not be on the menu. Sugar is not your friend and fruit is jam packed with it. It may taste good but you will be undermining your fast weight loss you'll experience at the beginning of this process. Also if you have a sweet tooth, it may encourage you to try to eat other sugary substances.

Protein, walk, protein, walk. Hydration is important as well.

      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.
