Yup. Are you entering your food into some sort of tracking program so you know exactly how much Protein you got from it? My guess is you didn't eat a whole serving and it's a very good idea to keep track.

replying to above statement

you should be!! :angry: :D :D

yogurt is grrreat for Protein :)

I llllllove my FAGE 0% plain yogurt with fresh blueberries and a little granola sprinkled on top!! yum yum :)

(no blueberries or granola for you at your early stage :wacko: )

since you ate 1/2 cup yogurt that =s 10gr

keeping track of your calories, Proteins, carbs, sugar, etc is very helpful :)

good luck :)

Alyce, best of wishes to you. Read the protein count on the container of yogurt. It is good to keep track of what you eat. Every day will get better! Have a wonderful weekend!

As they say, no question is stupid. A lot of foods contain a certain amount of Protein & you need to count it. Even tho' I'm on solid foods I still drink at least 1 shake a day. This helps making sure I get 60+ grams of Protein.< /p>

If you don't log in your food on something (even if it's just a sheet of paper) you won't be able to make sure you are hitting all of your daily requirements. I use MyFitnessPal on my cell phone. I always look up food before I eat it just to make sure it doesn't have some horrible carbs/fat in it, then I log it. Then, when can, I transfer this information to my DietMinder that I got from Amazon. In the afternoon I tally up all of my intake to make sure I'm getting everything I need & not over doing my calories & carbs. I know it's a bit redundant but this way I can just look something up from previous days. Trying to go back a few days on MyFitnessPal is a pain. My DietMinder also has a place for weight, exercise & Vitamins.

      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.
